Hi, 

I am looking into making a prom dress for my graduation in June of 2019 but I have no idea how much it will cost and I have to stay within a price range. So I am wondering if you could look at these 3 options and tell me how much each would cost. The dark and light blue lace would be my first choice but I would like to add a slit, the white lace would be my second in either red or an ivory color, and the tight embroidered would be my last. I love all three but would like to know which would be the cheapest including the cost to get it to Canada.

Let me know.

Thank you so much

Dont worry its real!

So I found the dress of my dreams years ago and had no idea where to find it. A problem, I know, a lot of girls looking for a prom dress have. I tried so many stores and nothing was perfect. so I chose to look for somewhere to make it for me and came across this site. until the dress arrived I was super skeptical I honestly thought it was a scam and thought all the reviews were fake. BUT THEY'RE NOT. this site is real and they are so helpful. every question I had they answered with everything I needed. I worked with Tansy and she was so nice and understanding even when I would send her many many messages. (to do this I did have to pay around 5 dollars but it was needed and would recommend).before shipment, i realized that customs were going to be crazy expensive so they were able to change the cost writing on the package so it was not a problem. in the end, my dress turned out really well it is almost an exact replica of the photo I found and the color is beautiful. the only downfall and it might have been my fault is it is a little big on the top but better big than too small! I honestly recommend this site to anyone who doesn't want to settle on a dress or spend hundreds of dollars. just come in knowing what you and for me, it worked out. i had a great experience and thank you Tansy so much.

Second dress costs around 259 USD.

Thank you!

avatar - caitlinih

Thank you for getting back so quickly.

I am currently deciding between dress 1 and 3. So I will let you know as soon as I choose.

Just wondering why dress 1 costs more than dress 3?

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

A dress price depends on style, embellishments, fabrics, etc.

Thank you!

avatar - caitlinih

Hi,

I have decided on the first dress(the white lace with slit skirt). I would like the exact same lace front(making sure we don't see the pans underneath) with an open back, with a slit chiffon skirt(with an underskirt), in a scarlet red, and if possible I would really like pockets.

Please let me know how much this would cost and if each thing is possible.

Thank you so much.

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your quick reply!

I find more picture of the dress for your reference.

5bcd54453772e

We do not have the same lace fabric because we are not the original tailor.

Is this lace fabric okay?
5bcd53d987808

The bodice of dress in first picture is see-through with build-in-bra.

Would you like the back to be plain without lace appliques, without buttons?

Please provide a picture of chiffon underskirt. Because this dress does not have underskirt.

We can add pockets on A-line skirt for you.

I will set price after getting confirmation from you.

Thank you!

avatar - caitlinih

Hi,

Yes, I would like an open back no lace. I'm not sure how to explain the skirt but it has slightly two layers as you can see in the picture you sent me, I just want the skirt exactly the same as it is shown in the picture. I like that lace I just really don't want it to be completely see-through like the link added https://www.lunss.com/unique-beaded-ivory-a-line-lace-tulle-wedding-dress-2172.html .


avatar - Tansy

Would you like to keep buttons at the back?

5bcd6c5141ca1

The skirt is made of chiffon with lining underneath.

5bcd6cc434dfe

We advise ivory chiffon for the skirt, because lace fabric is available in ivory color. Please kindly note that lace fabric is unavailable in pure white color.

Satin could be as lining at the skirt, you could choose lining color from below color charts.

The bodice of original dress is made of nude tulle decorated with ivory lace appliques without lining, but coming with build-in-bra.

We will add more lace appliques to cover the bust area.
5bcd725fa9445

I have set the estimated price and processing time for your dress design. Please kindly check it in your customization page. The final price might be changed based on the fabrics and final design you choose.

Thank you!

avatar - caitlinih

I do not want buttons on the back. I want a plain open back, please. The skirt sounds perfect. I want the whole dress in red so number 1 in the fabrics. the top sounds perfect as well. I can't seem to find the estimated price. Please help me locate that.

I would like it to look like this. with all the details mentioned before.

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

The back you attached is V-back. We will make V-back for you.

The whole dress will be in red color but with nude tulle at bodice.

Please fresh the page to find the price at the top of current page.

Please kindly submit the required measurements by following our MEASURING GUIDE to have a well-fitting dress. The inaccurate measurements will bring you extra cost on size adjustment: https://www.lunss.com/how-to-measure.

  • Front shoulder width
  • Back shoulder width
  • Upper Bust (just under your armpits)
  • Bust (fullest portion)
  • Waist (smallest portion of your waist)
  • Hips (fullest portion of your butt)
  • Arm Hole
  • Bicep Circumference
  • Neck Circumference
  • Thigh Circumference (fullest portion of your thighs)
  • Height (barefoot)
  • Shoulder to Floor (barefoot)
  • Waist to Floor (barefoot)
  • Heels Height
  • Belly(circumference of the middle area of Waist and Hip, it is a must-have measurement for the pregnancy)
  • BP Distance

Thank you!

avatar - caitlinih

I will do those very soon thank you so much.

avatar - Tansy

You are welcome!

avatar - caitlinih

I am in the process of getting the measurements done I just wanted to confirm the things we agreed on.

Each part of the dress is red, except the nude tool to keep the lace top together. The back of the dress has an open V back. The front would have extra lace appliques so we don't see the built-in bra underneath. The skirt is chiffon with a lining underneath, has a slit and unsee-able pockets.

Everything just like the pictures sent before.

Thank you so much.

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your summary.

Please kindly note that even we add extra lace appliques, build-in-bra might be shown somewhat. Because there are some gaps between patterns of lace appliques, which can not be changed.

Everything else is okay.

Thank you!

avatar - caitlinih

Thank you

You are welcome!

Measurements:

Front shoulder width 15.5 inch

Back shoulder width 17 inch

Upper Bust 29

Bust 32.5 inch

Waist 26.75 inch

Hips 35.5

Arm Hole 16inch

Bicep Circumference 10.25 inch

Neck Circumference 13 inch inch

Thigh Circumference 34.75 inch

Height 61.75 inch

Shoulder to Floor 49.5 inch

Waist to Floor 37 inch

Heels Height 4 inch

Breast Height 10 inch

Hollow to slit 26.5 inch

One of the measurements on the website but not on your recommendations was the Hollow to hem when I measured this I got about 50 inches I want a floor length dress, with no train, so I’m not sure if you need this. Also, when I measured the waist to floor I did it from where I would like the waistband to be(where the lace stops and skirt starts).

I was told by a friend that online sites tend to generalize your measurements to a 0 or 00 I really hope this is not the case because this is my dream dress and I hope it turns out perfectly.


One more question. Before the dress is shipped, I am wondering if I can get a picture of the dress so I can see if there are any changes I would like to make.


Let me know

Thank you so much.

Caitlin

When I had first started this customization I had selected the smallest general size and am unable to delete that now just wanted to say I am smaller than a size 2/6 so please disregard that.

Thanks

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for providing measurements.

Since you want a floor length dress without train, you could provide measurement of hollow to floor(with barefoot).
5be285edf3cd5

If you provide the measurement of hollow to hem, you need to wear the shoes when take this measurement.

Please kindly note that for floor length dress, "hollow to floor" is shorter than "hollow to hem".

Yes, we provide pictures of finished dress for customers to check before arrange shipment.

We will process this order with the measurements you provided.

No worries.

Any questions, please feel free to let me know.

Thank you!

Hi Tansy,

I was looking through the customer reviews and I notice one girl got the same dress as me just with a different skirt. I looked at the top lace and it looks like there is a gap between the lace and the skirt I just want to clarify that that is not what I want I would like it to looks the same as the picture lace down to the waistline. also, the band that separates the skirt from the dress at the smallest part of my waist is key to me. so please don't forget that.

5beb7058f1ec1

Sorry to spam you

Another part that is key to me is how the skirt likes up with the band at the waistline. as you can see is the picture of the dress I want there are slight sinches I love the look of that want really would like to keep that.

And that the red of the lace is the same as the red of the skirt. In the photo above the top and bottom are two different colors I really don't want this to happen with mine so all the same red, please.

Also, what color will the tule be to create the lace top?

Will you be able to send me pictures along the way so I can correct things before it is too late?

Thank you I should be submitting this order tomorrow.

avatar - Tansy

The layout and placement of the lace appliques on the bodice of dress as below.

5beb74360a480

5beb743a4517a

Yes, this dress comes with natural waist.

The skirt will be made of chiffon fabric which is easy to create the drapes as marked below.

5beb77f5b0b5d

Different fabrics in the same color exist color difference due to different textures which can not be avoided. We always try our best to reduce chromatism.

It should be nude tulle for the bodice.

5beb79535571b

Our tailors are too busy, we only provide pictures of finished dress for customers to check.

Thank you for your kind understanding!

avatar - caitlinih

Before I submit my order, are you able to send me a picture of the red lace and red chiffon so I can see if they will be the same?

avatar - Tansy

I am afraid that we could only pay for material factory to dye lace fabric when we make your dress after getting your payment.

Our red chiffon sample

1

More colors could be found in below color charts.

Thank you!

avatar - caitlinih

Ok. Yes, I would like the number 1 color for both my lace and skirt.

avatar - Tansy

It is okay.

Have a lovely day!

avatar - caitlinih

Hello,

I am very interested in buying this dress but now my mom is involved. Because of customs this dress is now costing us 500$, we can’t pay that. So the only way I can get this dress is if when it is shipped to Canada, on the information label it must be less then 70$. Can you do this.

This session is about to expire before you are able to respond so I will restart this process restating all the information from before

thank you.

avatar - Tansy

Yes, we often fill 30 USD in the value option on the billway of parcel to help customers to avoid or reduce custom tax.

No worries.

Thank you!

avatar - caitlinih

That is amazing thank you so much.

I’m sorry but I would like to clarify everything one last time. the dress would look like:

an exact replica of the original photo sent with the exception of the back, I would like an open V back. The top would have enough lace appliqués so the built in bra would be unseeable underneath. The band would separate from the lace and coffin skirt. This is very important to me about a 2 inch band made of red fabric( I am not positive what fabric this would be hoping you have a great choice for that). Then for the skirt I would like a chiffon skirt with an underlining. The skirt would have unseeable pockets and a slit. In total it would be red number 1 as u sent to me.

Again thank you so much please tell me if this is all possible.

Sorry also the drapes in the skirt. Also for the band I think I would like a matte band matching the colour of the over all dress. 3 parts needed to be all the same colour please.

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

An exact replica of the original photo sent with the exception of the back, I would like an open V back.

- We are not the original tailor, the dress could not be 100% same as original design. Hope your kind understanding.

The top would have enough lace appliqués so the built in bra would be unseeable underneath.

- Please kindly note that even we add extra lace appliques, build-in-bra might be shown somewhat. Because there are some gaps between patterns of lace appliques, which can not be changed. Hope your kind understanding.

The matte band would separate from the lace and coffin skirt. This is very important to me about a 2 inch band made of red fabric( I am not positive what fabric this would be hoping you have a great choice for that).

- Do you mean belt as marked below? It should be sewn to the dress to cover the seam line of bodice and skirt. Would you like it to be detachable, so that you could tie it in a knot?
5bf61da765f77

Then for the skirt I would like a chiffon skirt with an underlining. The skirt would have unseeable pockets and a slit. In total it would be red number 1 as u sent to me. Also the drapes in the skirt. Also for the band I think I would like a matte band matching the colour of the over all dress. 3 parts needed to be all the same colour please.

- We will match the best color for you. Please kindly note that different fabrics exist color difference due to different textures. which can not be avoided.

Thank you!

avatar - caitlinih

For the belt I would like it to be sewn to the dress thank you

I would like the band 1.25 inches in width please with a matte red fabric

I am ordering the dress now hoping we will still be able to communicate once I order it. If not I want to ask if I can still get a photo before shipment. also, ideally whenever possible or if u are unsure of something just send me a picture. I understand if not.

I am really looking forward to this dress thank you so much for all your help. If it turns out well I will be sure to tell all my friends.

Thank you.

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

Okay, we will sew the matte red belt to the dress and the belt will be 1.25 inches in width.

We will provide pictures you to check after we finish the dress.

Thank you!

HI,

I just submitted my order and when I was in the order process I added the 30% coupon and the points I had in my account but it did not change anything. the credit card was charged for the full amount instead of the 189 USD we were told in the order process.

Please refund the 30% discount amount and the 12 USD I had worth of points onto the credit card.

Thank you

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your payment.

I am sorry that you did not use 30% coupon code, but we could process 30% refund after you recieve this dress.

For the points, you could use them when you placed order. I am sorry that we can not do anything on it. But you could use points on your next order.

Thank you for your kind understanding!

avatar - caitlinih

My mom is now saying that she will just cancel the payment that was made before and we will reorder it with the 30% and 12USD just to make sure that 30% will be taken off the price.

Is there any chance you could just refund the 30% as soon as possible instead of this?

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

I will apply for you to give priority to processing this 30% refund.

I do not advise you to cancel this order and reoplace a new order, because you might lose 20%.

Your order was processed on 2018-11-23 09:17 already. According to our refund policy, you will be eligible for 80% refund if you cancel the order now.

Thank you for your kind patience.

Your dress is finished. It looks very beautiful!

I uploaded some pictures at the top of this current page for you to check.

We will ship dress after getting reply from you!

Thank you!

5c2098f9009a6Hi Tansy,

Thank you so much the dress looks beautiful!!

Just a few things I am hoping to change.

The lace of the upper body currently goes where the waist band is. Could that be removed so the waist band is just solid red, no lace? (Photo attached)

also I understand that we wouldn’t b able to hide all of the under bra but is it possible just to add a few more appliqués to right side of the dress (photo attached) where the bra is very visible at the top?

Everything about this dress is perfect except for those key parts so please could I have those fixed.

Thank you

5c209a8d3290c

Also just to make sure there are pockets and a slit right?

I’m sorry to say one more thing but could the pads (under bra) be nude instead of red still with the extra appliqués added where needed? I believe it will look better and won’t matter as much if the pads show a bit. Let me know if my requests are possible.

Again thank you!

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

  • The skirt of this dress do come with slit and pockets. I am sorry that it is hard to tell from the pictures.
  • For plain belt without lace applique at waist. How about we send another a solid sash together with this dress to you, so that you could tie it in a knot at waist as below to hide that lace applique or you could wear this dress without that sash.
    5c20a826b137a
    Or we could sew the belt at waist for you. Would you like a matte belt or glossy belt?
    Below belt is glossy.
    5c20a71b1f606
  • We changed round bra to half bra, so that it would not show at upper bust area. We placed both nude and red half bra inside for your reference.
    Please kindly let me know if you want nude half bra or red half bra.
    5c20ad8bbb687
    Half bra
    5c20addf50c15

Thank you!

avatar - caitlinih

For the bra could I please get the nude half bra underneath.

And for the belt is it possible to remove the lace that is on the belt now? I am scared if we put something on top it will be clumpy.

And perfect about the slit and pockets

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

We will alter the dress as below:

  • Add nude half bra underneath.
  • Remove lace appliques from the belt.

Thank you!

I am glad to tell you that we finished alteration already. Here are some pictures for your check.

5c21f91a352a6

Please kindly note that the direction of half bra is adjustable.

It looks amazing! It is ready to be shipped. How long generally does it take to ship? I can't wait to try it on.

Thank you so much for fixing those things!

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your agreement on shipment.

You chose standard delivery, the shipping time takes around 7-10 days.

Thank you for your kind patience.

avatar - caitlinih

Sorry,

I am looking at the dress closer and it looks like a band was placed over the waistband instead of removing the lace. Is this true or just the pictures?

If it is a band just placed over top I would prefer the lace instead of what it is now.

avatar - Tansy

This dress only has a belt/ waistband. We separated the skirt and bodice, then add belt on the lace fabric just as original design.
5c230aa4dd5ce
5c230aacd77c3

Please kindly note that if we cut the lace fabric which is below the yellow line, they will be lots of thread residue which will ruin this dress.

5c230ab76c13d

Would you like to change it to below design? If yes, extra 30 USD will be needed, because customers only have a chance for alteration.

5c230b748f49c

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you!

avatar - caitlinih

So at the moment there is a band over top to cover the lace right?

If so I would like the cover removed I am happy with the lace on the band as it was before.

I do not want to pay the 30 to have the lace removed I just want to take off the belt you put on the hide the lace. Can this happen for free?

avatar - Tansy

We did't place one band over another waistband. Please kindly check below pictures, this dress only has one belt. If we removed this belt, there will be some gaps between the lace and the skirt, which you do not want.

5c2317383471f

5c2318c0684cb
5c2318da20972

The belt is flat. You could iron it after you receive this dress.
