I want to change the color of the liner to ivory, shorten the train to a sweep train. Beading only on top. And since the beading would be expensive for the entire blue wedding dress, maybe an all-over lace fabric or less beading to keep within budget.

Overjoyed bride!!!!!!

I looked everywhere for a blue wedding dress. I mean every where. I finally came across this site and decided to take a chance, and it was worth it!!!! BIG TIME!!!!

I had a vision of my wedding day and these guys came through for me in a huge way! Tansy was so patient and did not bat an eye when I asked for more layers or a different bodice. She worked with me and suggested things I never would have thought of. This dress was PERFECTION!! I did have to have it taken up a bit but over all the fit was just amazing considering it was all done online. If I had it to go over again I would have gone to a tailor to have measurements taken, but honestly I could not be more pleased!! Our wedding was last weekend and this is the very first review I've done, because it meant that much to me to let Lunss know what an amazing job they've done!!! It might seem nerve-wracking to pay money to have a custom dress done entirely online, but as long as you are specific and patient, these folks will come through for you!!!

All my love Lunss, you nailed it!!!!

Thank you for submit this customization.

We can make this dress for you. Actually, this blue dress does not have any beads, it was made from lace fabric completely. Lace fabric features dots and florals. Let's confirm your requirements one by one.

  1. Change the color of the liner to ivory- is lace fabric in ivory color as well? So whole dress is in ivory color?
  2. Shorten the train to a sweep train- please advise measurement from back of your heel to end of train.

Do you have any requirements else?

Thank you!

Hi Tansy,


Thank you for the quick response!

To answer your questions, I want the top layer (pale blue) the same color, but instead of the champagne color lining as in the pic do an ivory. So, it would be the pale blue over the ivory lining. And as lining fabric is concerned I don't like satin or shiny materials, I like soft matte fabric for lining. :)

As for the train, 45 to 50 cm(1.5 feet) is the length from heel to end of the train. 

I really, really want this to work so anything you need to clarify or me to send please just ask. I understand that depending on the fabric you are able to get, the top lace may be different than what the actual dress is made of and that is perfectly fine. 

Oh and I don't want pockets on the dress. And from dresses I've tried on, I'd like to have a few pleats at the waistline. I've attached pictures as an example. 

I hope to hear back from you!

Thank you for your clarification!

We can make this dress with pale blue lace fabric with ivory matte lining, having some pleats at the waistline and removing pockets. We also can find similar lace pattern for this dress.

Here is our measuring guide for your reference.

Thank you!

Hello Tansy,

Can you send pictures of the lace and the lining that you'll use for the dress? I want to make sure it is the color and material I have in mind. 

Thank you!


Oh and also, I'm not sure what the cost is for shipping, but I would like to keep the total cost (including shipping) under $800 USD. Are you able to do this? 

Thank you!

avatar - Tansy

It is free for shipping. We would like to provide pictures of fabrics for you to confirm, but we do not have this lace fabric in stock. We have to contact the material factory to process it after getting your payment.

Thank you for your kind understanding!

avatar - heyatx

Sounds great Ms. Tansy!! I will finish my measurements up tonight, get those to you and send payment. 

avatar - Tansy

That's wonderful! Price has been set, we will process your dress after you finish payment and provide measurements. Pictures will be provided once the lace fabric are prepared.

Thank you.

Hi Tansy,

I wanted to check in and see if there was any news on fabric for the dress? I would like to see pictures of the fabric that you were able to get if it is available? :)

Thank you and I look forward to hearing back from you!!

avatar - Tansy

By the way, do you want only buttons in the back or zip back with buttons decoration?

This back is covered by buttons only.

16110369177

This zip back is decorated with buttons. This way, the buttons just as decorations in the back.

16110354351

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thank you!

avatar - heyatx

Oh my goodness!! I just got so excited when I saw that lace, it's perfect! And yes to a button back instead of a zipper. The lining looks good as well, not too shiny which is great. Will you send a picture of the dyed lace over the lining when it's done? 


Thank you so, so much!

I just re-read your message and realized I wasn't that clear on the buttons, sorry about that! Buttons only down the back please. :) Thanks!

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

No problem! We will make the back covered by buttons only like below.

Since we have gotten your confirmation of fabrics, we will process your dress after finishing dye lace fabric. Pictures will be provided after we complete dress. Please give it more days.

Thank you!

I am glad to tell you that materials of dress are prepared. But after we put pale blue lace over ivory lining, we find that it does not look more beautiful than the original dress which is made from pale blue lace over champagne lining.

How about we keep the lining in champagne color? Just keep the color of original dress to show respect to the original design?

By the way, there are some layers of tulle fabric between lace and lining creating a bit puffy effect.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Hi Tansy!

I wanted to check in and see if there was anymore news on the lining? If ivory doesn't look as good, then I would consider a nude or pink or champagne color. The reason I want to get a lockdown on the lining is because my bridesmaids are going to wear a color similar to the lining color of the dress, whatever that ends up as.


Thank you for all of your hard work and always responding so quickly!! I look forward to hearing from you! :)


avatar - Tansy

Your pictures will be advised in a week. Please be a bit more patient.

Thank you for your good patience.

Have a lovely day!

I am glad to let you know that your dress has been finished. It looks so beautiful. Please note that we just put two layers of tulle in the skirt, since we did not get your confirmation of color. We will modify the color and add more fabric to make the dress puffy after getting your confirmation.

Please check finished pictures in the top of this customization page.

This belt will be sent together with dress to you.

Hi Tansy,


Overall it looks good, my only concern is the lining color isn't really what I had in mind. It looks to be the same blue as the outer lace. I understand that you thought the ivory didn't look as good, so instead of ivory or blue can you try a beige/nude or champagne color? What I really like about the original dress is the difference in color of the lining and the overlay, I just wasn't into gold as a lining color. The blue lace is spot on!! Can you send close-up pictures of the button-up back?  The bodice color would need to be changed to match the rest of the lining as well. The bodice shape is good, but is there another non-lace fabric you can use for the bodice? I'm afraid the two lace patterns don't mix well together. 


Also, the lining of the original dress looks to be the same length as the train. I think it allows the contrast of the dress to go all the way to the bottom. 

  


Below are some examples of the lining color I had in mind. 


  


Please let me know what you think and thank you again so much for all of your help!!

Thank you very much for your reply!

According to the demands you provided, I summarize alterations below.

  1. The lining of dress is in color champagne. Actually, we do not put enough tulle fabric underneath, as we did not get your reply about color for lining.
    We will add more layers of tulle fabric, so that champagne color could contrast to pale blue strongly.
  2. It is okay, pictures of lace-up back will be advised later.
  3. Do you mean lining in yellow areas will be replaced by a plain solid fabric? Also it will be in color champagne?
    16112949245
    16112997050
  4. Actually, lining(fabric underneath) of original dress is shorter than the train(lace fabric). Please check area as marked below, only stretchy band is attached to the edge of train instead of lining.
    If you want lining to be the same length of train, we can modify it for you too.

Hi Tansy,

The button-up back it PERFECT!! I love it!! And I can see the color of the lining better with the dress off the mannequin.

As far as the bodice color goes, keep the pale blue, just switch to a non-lace fabric. If you would add a few more layers of the champagne lining so it stands out a bit better that would be fantastic!  I see what you're saying with the train lining, I think the original dress has a gold layer sewn all the way down and then has a normal lining. That is what gives the layered color look all the way down.



Would it look good to add at least a few layers all the way to the floor? 

Again, thank you so very much for always responding and being so patient with me!! I look forward to hearing from you!


I think I want the layers to go all the way to the floor, that way the champagne color is underneath all the way down. And the bodice changed to a solid pale blue fabric and I think that will do it!!


Thank you so much, you're a dream!!! :)

avatar - Tansy

No problem! All the alterations can be done!

Some layers of tulle fabric will be added in red area to create a puffy skirt.

Hi Tansy,


I didn't realize it was tulle. I just re-read above, I apologize about that. Is there a chiffon-like champagne material available to use?  I like tulle but I don't want much puff. The amount of right now is fine, I just don't want to go puffier. 

I appreciate you so much!! Words cannot express how grateful I am for all of your patience! Thank you!


avatar - Tansy

I get it.

We will add a layer of most suitable fabric as lining for your dress, and tulle fabric is very soft. Thus, all fabrics of this dress will match perfectly and this skirt is not very puffy.

Thank you!

avatar - heyatx

Thank you so much, you're a doll!! :)

You are welcome!

Have a lovely day!

We have finished alterations. Please check your dress.

For the top, we tried to replace the lace with plain fabric as lining, but we find the dress looked too cheap with plain fabric. We re-use the lace fabric, since lace top is far more beautiful than the plain fabric top.
