The sketches (1, 2, 3) are exactly what I’d like. Bodice with corset lacing in back, beadwork, off-the-shoulder sleeves, silk chiffon overlay. Lace underskirt with a slit just above the knee, silk chiffon over skirt with high slit.
I included picture #4 for the bodice, sleeves, and beadwork.
Picture #5 for the skirt style and slit.
#6 is the lace I want to use for the underskirt.
#7 is the color.
Overall, I got an AMAZING wedding dress from Lunss. It was a complicated design, and not a direct copy of something already in existence, so they were up against a lot. I don't regret a thing.
I bought my own fabric and shipped it to them, so I can't testify to the quality of their fabric, but their craftsmanship was great (my local tailor even commented on how well-made it was). The reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 was because they made a couple changes without asking me first. They made the belt out of sequins instead of the fabric I had requested, and I had to get it replaced, which cost me over $100. They made the slit in the center of the skirt instead of the side, which they said was because it fit the design better, but I wish they would have asked me first. Lastly, it was a corset back and they made it exactly to my measurements, which meant that it didn't compress my waist at all, so I had to get it taken in. I should have told them the waist measurement I wanted with it fully tightened. It wasn't very expensive at all, but I paid $360 in alterations, so that warranted 4/5 stars.
Pros:
- Well-made dress
- Excellent communication
- Great website design
- Cheapest price out there
- Made and arrived quickly
- Sent me the remaining fabric to fix my belt
Cons:
- Made some changes without telling me
- Fit didn't include room to tighten around my waist
Thanks for your inquiry. This is Tansy at your service.
We do not have the same lace fabric and our silk chiffon fabric is only available in below colors.
The color in red box is white color.
If you provide all fabrics including beads, you only need to pay *** USD for us to make this dress.
Please kindly let me know your thoughts.
Thank you!
Hi Tansy!
That sounds great. I'd love to work with you. I can provide all the fabrics and beads, but I will need help knowing how much to buy. I'll try and upload all of my measurements by tomorrow.
Let me know what else you need from me. Thank you!

Thank you for your reply!
Please kindly submit the required measurements by following our MEASURING GUIDE, so that I could tell you how much fabric you need to buy. The inaccurate measurements will bring you extra cost on size adjustment.
Thank you!
Hi Tansy! I uploaded all my measurements. I've also ordered some swatches so that I can compare colors, so I'll keep you posted on that.
Also, do you have any pictures of your grey silk chiffon?
Thank you for your measurements.
Below is our grey silk chiffon fabric for your reference.
Thank you!
Thank you Tansy!
Once you know how much fabric you'll need, I'll go ahead and buy it and ship it over. Please guide me on what to get, because I have never done this before. All I know is the lace and silk chiffon.
Silk chiffon: 9 m
Ling which touches your skin, should be a kind soft fabric: 4 m
Lace fabric: 3 m
Beads
I will email you our shipping address, please kindly provide tracking number after you finish the shipment.
Thank you!
Wonderful, thank you!
Will the listed amount be enough for a little train, or should I add some for that?
You could add 1 meter more, if you would like to get a small train.
Thank you!
Hello!
Just curious, if I wanted something other than chiffon, would I buy the same amount of material? I am going to look at fabrics tomorrow, and I'm hoping to buy everything I need. I'll probably get chiffon, but I'm going to look at other fabrics too.
Also, what fabric do you think the black dress bodice is made from?
Please buy the same amount of material if you want it to replace chiffon fabric.
The bodice of black dress is made of chiffon fabric with lining underneath.
Thank you!
This dress is very similar to the design I want. I like the front of the skirt, and how it attaches at the bodice.
It is okay.
Hello Tansy!
I bought all the material, but I decided I do not want beading. However, I do still want a V-shaped belt, like the black dress. Would it be possible to make the belt with leftover lace?
Do you mean use lace appliques to decorate the basque waist as marked like below? Yes, we can do it for you.
Thank you!
Tansy, you are absolutely amazing!
Yes, that’s exactly what I mean. When I saw the fabric together, I felt like beading would be too much. I’ll see if I can find the lace I want. Or, possibly we can make it from the lace I already bought. What do you think would be nice there?
If you want to use the lace fabric to replace beads to decorate the basque waist, the lace fabric size should be 4 m, instead of 3m.
Thank you!
Hi Tansy,
They ran out of lace, so I bought the rest. I can send almost 3.5 meters. If that's enough, I'll go ahead and ship it all over. :)
It should be enough.
Please do not forget to provide tracking number for us to track after you send fabrics to us.
Thank you!
Hi Tansy! I finally found time to ship the fabric. The tracking number is:
EW002313443US
I shipped it via USPS. Let me know when you get it! :)
Thank you for your tracking number.
We will contact you after we receive it.
Thank you!
Hello!
The tracking info says “delivered.” I hope it got to you just fine! Let me know. :)
We received the fabric today.
I will contact you to confirm the details in 2 days.
Thank you for your kind patience.
I look forward to it. :)
Also, the customization expires in 3 days, so I’d like to extend it please!
I am very sorry for keeping you waiting.
Let's confirm details of dress now:
1. We received below fabrics from you.
Crepe silk chiffon
Beaded embroidery fabric
Solid fabric.
2. The pleated sweetheart neck off the shoulder bodice will be made of crepe silk chiffon with solid fabric underneath.
3. Would you like beaded embroidery fabric at basque waist?
4. A-line skirt with side slit as below one. It is made of crepe silk chiffon over beaded embroidery fabric. It means beaded embroidery fabric replace lace fabric.
Please kindly note that the slit of crepe silk chiffon fabric starts from waist.
Would you like solid fabric to cover area above yellow line to avoid see-through look?
5. The back details: V-neck, lace-up back, 1 foot long train (it depends on the fabric you provided.)
Price has been set, please check it.
Thank you!
It's not problem at all! Thank you for confirming. Here are my responses:
2. The sweetheart neck off the shoulder
bodice will be made of crepe silk chiffon with solid fabric underneath.
Correct, and I bought some extra solid fabric in case you need to double it.
Also, please note that there are two off-the-shoulder straps: one is the solid fabric, one is the crepe silk chiffon.
Can I also have a little bit of a “V” shape on the sweetheart neckline?
3. Would you like beaded
embroidery fabric at basque waist?
Yes. The front should make a “V” using the pattern of the beaded embroidery fabric, and the back should simply wrap around like a belt.
4. A-line skirt with side slit like below. It is made of crepe silk chiffon over beaded embroidery fabric. Beaded embroidery replace lace fabric to create the skirt. Note: the slit starts from waist.
Correct. I would like the beaded fabric to be visible, so if you have to start the slit in the beaded fabric lower that the crepe silk chiffon, that is ok.
I would like the tulle slit to start at the “V” on the basque waist.
Would you like solid fabric to cover area
above yellow line to avoid see-through look?
Can the solid fabric also be a full skirt with a slit like the beaded fabric? Basically it would act like a liner for the beaded fabric. Will that work?
5. The back details: V-backline, lace-up back, 1 foot long train (it depends on the fabric you provided.)
Perfect!
Thank you for your reply!

-Do you mean top straps as marked below will be made of solid fabirc?

3. Beaded embroidery fabric is at basque waist. The front should make a “V” using the pattern of the beaded embroidery fabric, and the back should simply wrap around like a belt.
- Basque waist at front and normal belt at back as marked below.
4. A-line skirt with side slit is as below. It is made of crepe silk chiffon over beaded embroidery fabric. Beaded embroidery replace lace fabric to create the skirt.

-Is this V-neck okay?
Close, but just a little bit less please.
-Tulle slit as marked like below.
Here is a last fix on the sketch. For the crepe silk chiffon slit, I’d like it to cross over a little bit like this, just to make it sit more naturally. (Sorry if the picture is sideways, I can’t seem to fix it!)
Everything looks perfect!! You are amazing. I’ll go ahead and pay now, because I think you have the same vision I do.
Thank you for the new sketch. We will make the dress as you skecthed.
Have a lovely day!
Thank you Tansy! And everything else we discussed and decided on is perfect.
I am so excited I can hardly wait. Keep me posted, and please reach out with questions if you need to.
It is okay.

I hope all is going well. I know I have a couple more weeks left but I wanted to check in and see what stage the dress is in and make sure it’s all going ok.
Everything goes well.

Thank you for your kind feedback.
We will ship this dress to you ASAP.

Hi Tansy! Could I get the tracking number?
Yes. Your tracking number UPS 1ZR223520425568916.
Thank you!
Hi Tansy,
I received the dress, and I like most of it. However, I realized the belt is wrong. I had requested a belt made from the beaded embroidery fabric, but the belt is all sequins.
Also, the slit is in the wrong place. It is directly down the middle, but it should be over my left leg. And it is slightly big around the waist.
I am sorry for that.
After comparing, we found that sequins are better than sequined embroidery fabric for the belt of dress. If you do not like it, you could send it back for us to alter.
I am very sorry that our tailor placed the slit at the middle instead of side. She tried to place the slit at the side at first, but she found that middle slit is more suitable than side slit, since this dress has basque waistline. Please kindly note that if your waistline is normal instead of basque waist, side slit could work perfectly. The dip of your basque waist is right at the middle which makes the slit at middle and it is more beautiful. If you insist a side slit, please kindly send it back for us to alter as well.
This dress is made to measurements you provided. Could you please provide video of measuring your body to show measurements?
Thank you!
Hey Tansy,
All of that makes sense, thank you. I might prefer a different belt, but I’ll think about it.
Overall, it’s stunning, and it flows beautifully. As far as sizing, it’s only an inch or so big. My waist is pretty compressible, so perhaps I should have rounded down an inch or so.
I’ll keep you informed if I decide to make any changes. It’s very beautiful, and I can’t wait to wear it on my wedding day!
Thank you for your kind understanding.
We will very appreciate if you share some beautiful pictures with us by then.
Thank you!
Hey Tansy,
Do you have any remaining beaded embroidery fabric that I sent you? If you do, could you send it to me?
Yes, there are some beaded embroidery fabric left.
We could send it to you after you pay for the shipping fee.
Thank you!
Is there a more affordable shipping option? I am having someone here make the belt the way I wanted it, so I am already having to pay extra for that. :(
Also, about how much is left?
Standard delivery costs 15 USD. Standard delivery takes around 7-10 days on shipping.
You could complete this order to get some points which could lower the price.
It is around 50 cm long lace fabric left.
Thank you!
Standard shipping is perfect!
I'm going to wait until I get my wedding photos to write my review. I think the professional photos will do it more justice. :)
If you can send me the link for the $15 shipping I will go ahead and order it. Thank you so much!
Thank you for your kind understanding and support!
Please kindly finish payment at sidebar on the current customization/design page.
Thank you!
All done! I'll keep a look out for the fabric in the mail.
Thanks,
Abigail
