Spectacular Pink Beaded Lace Long Sleeve High-neck Organza A-line Custom Pageant Dress

I forgot her measurements:

Hips: 41 inches

Waist: 32 inches

Bust: 38 inches

Neck: 16 inches

Arm Length/shoulder to Wrist: 27 inches

Hollow to Hem (formal): 65 inches

Hollow to Hem (interview): 45 inches

Height: 67 inches

DRESS ONE-

• A-line skirt like in picture #1- it is made from organza originally. Would you like you to change fabric to chiffon fabric?

No, the organza fabric is perfectly fine!

• Add pockets on floor-sweep skirt- if the skirt is made from chiffon or organza fabric, we do not advise to add pockets.

I agree with you; no pockets is fine!

• Sheer long sleeve lace top like in picture #2-4.

Yes!

• Zip back with button embellishments and high neck (as in photo #5)- back in picture #5 has buttons only without zipper at the top. Zip is only at the skirt. Would you like to add zipper under buttons from top to skirt? Top in picture #2-4 features boat neckline.

Yes! Please add zip closure under buttons. Zipping the dress makes it easier for her to change quickly between events. The buttons are for decoration/embellishments only! The neckline at the front should be high (see next description below).

• The front of the high neck should look like the circled area in photo #10

Yes!

• The sweetheart neckline beneath the lace should be curved or bateau. Please clarify it.

Here are a few more photos to help clarify :) the yellow circled area in the first photo below shows the sweetheart layer under the lace (not sure what it is called... perhaps the “modesty layer” that prevents skin from being visible under the sheer lace). She would prefer it to look like the second and third photos below - with the lace/lace appliqués positioned so that layer underneath is not seen.

• Detachable flower in picture #6 will be added at the waist in the back of dress.

Yes!

• For "Photos #7 and 8 show the embellishments that should be on the lace top. There doesn’t need to be a lot of sequins and stones BUT the top does need some sparkle (more like photo 8)!" Do you mean add sparkles on the lace top and the way of beads and sequins decorating like in picture #7&8? And the lace fabric still like in picture #2-4?

Yes that is correct! Stones, beads and sequins should be on the lace top. Not a lot but some just so when she is on stage the lights can reflect off the dress!

• We will confirm color and fabric with you later.

Yes, that’s great!

DRESS TWO-

• The black dress will come with knee length skirt like below.

Yes! The only difference is the sleeves should be elbow length instead of short (like in the second photo below). Also after seeing the photo below, Alaina decided she’d like the skirt to be floral - white skirt with big yellow flowers. We can discuss colors, patterns and fabric.

• Dress color: yellow

Yes!

• Three button jacket- could you please provide some pictures for our reference?

Since my daughter decided to go with half sleeves on this dress, she won’t need the jacket!

• We will confirm color and fabrics with you later.

Absolutely!

DRESS ONE-

• A-line organza skirt like in picture #1 without pockets. Yes!!
• Sheer long sleeve lace top like in picture #2-4. Yes!!
• Zip back all the way with button embellishments and high neck (as in photo #5). Yes!!
• The front of the high neck should look like the circled area in photo #10 Yes!!
• Detachable flower in picture #6 will be added at the waist in the back of dress. Yes!!
• Add right amount of beads, sequins on lace fabrics so that the dress sparkles under the light like in picture #7-8. Yes!!

• For "The sweetheart neckline beneath the lace should be curved or bateau," Please check the pictures you attached.

  Below top is made from sheer tulle decorated with lace appliques slightly. It has lining (you called it modest layer) to avoid see through. That's why you can see the lining clearly.
  

  If you just would like to hide the sweetheart neckline of lining, we can add more lace appliques to cover it. Please let me know your thoughts. Yes!! Perfect idea, Tansy! Please add more lace appliqués to cover the lining!

DRESS TWO-

• Black dress will come with knee length skirt like below. Yes!!
• Elbow length sleeves. Yes!!
• This dress is made from jacquard fabric decorated with beaded lace appliques originally. How about we make the dress from white jacquard fabric decorated with yellow beaded lace appliqués? Yes!! Alaina loves the idea of jacquard fabric. It should be very beautiful with the yellow lace appliqués! She decided that she doesn’t want any beads or embellishments though and she does want the top to be solid yellow jacquard. Is that something we can do?

DRESS ONE-

Do you mean add more lace appliques to cover the sweetheart neckline as marked like below?

Yes!! Perfect!!

DRESS TWO-

• I marked the beaded lace appliques for her to check.
  Yes, we can remove the beaded lace appliques from the top to have yellow jacquard fabric for the top. Awesome!! Yes, please remove!
• Would you like to keep beaded lace appliques as marked like below at the skirt? No, the beaded lace appliqués can be removed from the skirt as well! I forgot to say she would like to add pockets to the skirt.
• Would you like to keep beaded belt? She would like a belt but can it be white satin maybe without beads?
  Noted: jacquard fabric is unavailable in white color with yellow print.
  Yellow jacquard fabric for your reference. Oh this is beautiful! She’s going to love it! Is there a way to add any white to the bottom? Appliqués maybe, without beads?
  
  

Hi Tansy! My daughter just informed me that I made a mistake replying to your last message. She still wants the white jacquard skirt but could you add yellow floral appliqués, so the skirt of the dress would resemble something like this?

If that’s not possible, then maybe you have a different white fabric (preferably a heavy fabric like jacquard) with yellow floral print designs, resembling the next photo.

Either is fine with her! I’ll await your reply! Thanks Tansy, as always for working with us to make sure my daughter has the best possible dresses! I know these two dresses will be perfect, just like the last two!

Hi Tansy!

DRESS ONE costs *** USD.

-Main fabrics are organza, tulle, some lace fabircs, satin.

This is all fine! Alaina loves the first lace sample below! Will you use this same lace to completely cover the sweetheart lining or will a different lace appliqué be used?

DRESS TWO costs *** USD.

• Entire dress including top and bottom is made from plain white jacquard fabric without beaded lace appliques. Plain white with yellow lace appliqués on the bottom (skirt) is perfect, but Alaina would like the top of the dress to be made from yellow jacquard! Will the yellow jacquard fabric you showed below match this white one? If not what can we do?!?!
• Keep pockets in the skirt. Yes!
• Add yellow lace appliques decorate the skirt the way like below. Yes!
  
  Yes, we can do it for you. Is it okay to have below IVORY 100% COTTON FLOWER PATTERN EMBROIDERED BRIDAL LACE APPLIQUÉ to decorate the skirt? It can be dyed in the yellow color. Please choose yellow color from stain samples. Lace appliques can be dyed in the matching color. Yes! This lace appliqué below is beautiful! To decorate the skirt!
• Is this white jacquard fabric okay for this dress? Yes! This is perfect for the skirt!
  
  
• We will choose the color for dress one now as well as the yellow for dress two.

Color for dress one (long formal) - I hope we chose from the correct color charts! The color she is trying to match is rose gold, like the next photo:

Are either of the following pink colors close to the above color?

Color for dress two (interview dress) - She loves this color a lot for the jacquard top and appliqués that will decorate the bottom!

Tansy, you are amazing! ♡ Thank you so much for being so patient and working with us!

Now I understand about the lace and lace appliqués - I think it’s going to be beautiful!

Yes, they are perfect! She loves the yellow and white jacquard fabrics that are available with the same pattern — we will go with the bright yellow and white jacquard fabrics.

Will we still be able to get the 30% discount since we posted her other dress on Instagram?

Thanks again!

We agree - 126 is the closest. It was a bit difficult to tell because of looking through a device, but it looks very close! This is the color that she would like to go with!

Awesome! Thanks so much! Alaina’s Instagram account is i.am_alaina. Here’s the post from awhile ago where she shows her white dress :)

Absolutely! Here’s a photo of the email! Thanks, Tansy!

Hi Tansy! Thank you so much. I’m so sorry I didn’t reply sooner. I fell asleep :) This works just fine for me. I’ll have her tag Lunss in the post on Instagram and a new post with the pink dress also tagging Lunss. I really appreciate you working with us! After her pageant in a few months, she’ll have another in November. For that one she’ll need three new dresses so we’ll be back again! I’m so thankful she found Lunss :)

I’ll place the order! Is there a way to pay a deposit like I did last time? I don’t remember how much deposit I paid; maybe it was one fourth or one third of the total. Please let me know and I will take care of the payment right away!

Alarice

Here are the two Instagram posts that Lunss is tagged in! Thanks, Tansy :)

You’re the best, Tansy! This is a wonderful birthday gift for her - she’ll be 14 tomorrow :) I will pay before I go to bed and send all the measurements, too. Have a lovely day and I will talk soon!

Thank you so much, Tansy! I’ve made the payment. I’m going to measure Alaina now & send those measurements.

Hi Tansy,

Yes, the plain belt on the waist of the long dress is fine to connect the flower at the back. The buttons should stop where the zipper ends.

As for the measurements, I’ll check those again. As I measured, Alaina was copying them down so I could have given her an incorrect number or she typed it incorrectly by mistake. I’ll get back to you with those soon!

thank you :)

Hi Tansy,

Alaina was just looking at the color charts again. She really likes color 19. She found the dress below and believes that to be the color she wants. It seems to match 19 on your color chart, but I was wondering if that color is more peach or pink? Let me know what you think about color 19, since you have it. Thanks :)

Oh thank you so much! That would be perfect! If you could send any color you think that is close to the color she likes for the long dress and the short dress. If you don’t mind, please send blue colors for the long dress as well. Thank you. Please let me know how much to pay for shipping and I will do that right away.

Sorry but I forgot to ask: Does she need to choose lace and organza fabric/colors as well or will you just match the lace and organza to the satin color she chooses?

thank you :)

Sounds great! I just made the payment via PayPal. Alaina chose these colors below:

19, 26, 58, 68, 95, 126

Thanks so much, Tansy! You are the best!

Hi Tansy! I just wanted to check with you to see if the fabric samples have been shipped. We would like to get them so Alaina can decide on a color and the dresses can be made! She needs to practice in them before the pageant!

Thank you so much!

Alarice

Thank you. I do understand. It never snows where we live but it has snowed twice in a couple of months which is so rare! It was a joy to see but it made it a bit hectic here! Thanks again & have a good night!

Alarice

Hello Tansy! Thank you so much for sending the samples! Alaina loves #68! I am so glad that you sent them because in person; 68 is the perfect color! Thanks again! She is satisfied so please feel free to begin making the dress! We look forward to updates! Is production time still about 45 days? Is that for both dresses?

Alarice

Hi Tansy,

I hate to be a bother, but I was wondering if the designers have started on the formal gown? We may have to change the color. The shorter yellow dress is fine - no changes!

thanks!!

That’s ok! Thank you for letting me know! I may add another gown in blue, but I will need to create a new design! I will let you know as soon as I do! Have a great evening!

Alarice

Hello Tansy! I hope you are well! I am checking in with you to find out how the dresses are coming along in production! I know they will be beautiful and cannot wait to see photos! Have a wonderful evening! Thank you :)

Hi Tansy!

Oh my goodness! The dresses are GORGEOUS! I am so thrilled at how beautiful they are, although not surprised because the other two dresses you made for Alaina are amazing! She is going to be so excited to receive them and so confident to wear to her pageant in June!

Her next pageant is in November so we will start thinking about colors and designs for those! She will need four!

I will pay for them today! I just want to verify pricing since the deposit amount is still showing when I choose “add to cart”.

•long dress 299; short dress 189; total 488

•Deposit 298; paid 208.60 (298 minus 30% discount with code LCZKUL)

•Balance due now 190USD

Please let me know when the cart is updated so I can pay as soon as possible! Thank you so much! I will surprise Alaina with the package instead of showing her the photos :)

Have a wonderful day!

Hi Tansy!

I hope this is the proper place to contact you. I have two requests:

1. I left a review for this order/design and was wondering if the refund is still valid when your customers write a review. I also posted on Instagram; is there a discount available for the next order if I do that? Just curious because I will be placing a new order for three dresses very soon!

2. I am interested in creating a clothing line - pageant dresses as well as other clothing. Would you be able to help me with that? Would I be able to purchase at wholesale prices? The other items will not all be dresses. There would be pants, shirts, coats - a variety of apparel for males and females. I really hope that you can help me because I trust Lunss and don’t want to work with other designers!

Thank you again. I hope to hear from you soon!

Thank you, Tansy! Here are additional photos - I hope these are okay!

My daughter’s Instagram name is i.am_alaina and she posted this a few weeks ago; Lunss Couture is tagged in the photo :) here’s the link: i.am_alaina

I will wait to hear from you about the clothing line! I’m really excited to begin work! Alaina and her brother are working on sketches so I’ll be excited to show them to you! Here is one just so you can see the concept my son is working on :)

Thanks, Alarice

Wow! This is amazing, Tansy! I’m so excited! My son has several more sketches & my daughter has two so far for dresses! I will let them know so they can work on more!

When selecting fabric for the apparel, do they choose from what you have available or can they request specific material?

As for the coat, that sketch was not complete. My son has worked on it more and has made changes to it! I’ll get the updated design from him!

I really like both plans to become a wholesale partner with Lunss. I will decide which is better or perhaps we could use both plans - plan A for certain items and plan B for others!

Thank you again! I am beyond thrilled to have Lunss as a lasting partner! I will be back in touch with you very soon!

If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your ethnicity? Please don’t be offended! It’s just that my daughter is teaching herself Korean and a long time ago I was learning basic Mandarin! It would be lovely to meet you and the design team one day and I was hoping you could help us learn the language :) have a wonderful evening!
