Hi, I like to have a quote on how much this custom dress would be.
Pictures 1-5 show what I would like the top of the dress to look like. I want the top and sleeves to be fully lined lace just as in the picture. I don’t like the bottom of the dress in these pictures, it’s too choppy looking.
Picture 6 is how I would like the skirt of the dress to be. I like the way the fabric hangs and that it is neither too skinny nor too wide.
Picture 7– I would like buttons on the back such as in this picture

Perfect fit!

I was nervous about ordering online, but I couldn’t afford a dress in any local dress shops so I decided to give it a try. Tansy did a gorgeous job of creating what I wanted! We had a few small issues in communication (quite natural when you are only communicating through text and pictures), but she worked to fix them and in the end I ended up with the dress that I had dreamed of! Plus, it fit like a glove—no alterations needed!! Amazing and such a huge relief considering all the local dress shops were closed due to the coronavirus. I would recommend Lunss if you are looking for quality work at a fair price.

Thank you! As soon as I get measured, I will buy the dress.

I like the skirt of the dress in those pictures. Maybe it could be a little fuller if possible?

Yes, the back can be the high v neck or a normal round neck (I don’t care... whatever is easier or makes sense with the dress)

Can I see some more lace options before I make a decision?

Thank you!

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

  1. We could add extra layered tulle fabric overlay to reach puffy look. Is this puff effect okay?

Any questions, please kindly let me know.

Thank you!

Thank you for your first payment.

Please kindly confirm below details.

  2. Is the lace fabric I advised above okay for the dress?

Any questions, please kindly let me know.

Thank you!

Hi,


1. I think I would prefer the skirt to be more like this where it gets fuller towards the bottom but stays the same at the top if that is possible.

5e03e1f4da04d

2. I found this floral lace that I would like if it is white and not ivory.

5e03e2fe55718

3. I have been thinking about the neckline and I would like it to be even rather than the scalloped look in the first picture I sent you. I like this one, only maybe a tiny bit lower so it doesn’t scratch my neck. There is a possibility I might want some beading added such as in this dress, but I’m not sure yet.

5e03e68c326dd


4. Where the top meets the skirt I really like the look of this picture and the one above.

5e03e39174b58


Thank you SO much! I will get my measurements in this week.

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

1. We would like to try our best to make the skirt as puffy as below. But it could not be exactly same puffy as you marked below. Thank you for your kind understanding.


2. Our lace fabric is not available in pure white color. Because it has blue hue. This lace is in light ivory color/ normal white color. Please kindly confirm if it is okay for your dress.

3. Is this lower neckline okay? For this kind neck, personally, I do not advise to add scalloped detail.
5e042613ada27

4. For where the top meets the skirt, do you mean lace is enough long to hide the seams between bodice and skirt as arrowed below?

5e042f1001ea4

5. Please kindly let me know if you would like to add some beading on lace top. It will affect the price.

Thank you!

avatar - Sarah

1. Ok, thank you.

2. It will look white and not blue though, correct?

3. Yes, that is very close. Maybe leave the fabric on the sides like this, though.

5e04415c283a8

4. Yes, that is correct.

5. Can you let me know how much it would cost to add the beading to the top and sleeves such as in the picture above?

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

2. That lace fabric is in light ivory color ( normal white color) instead of pure white. Thus, it does not have blue hue. No worries.

3. Yes, we can make this boat neck for you.

5. Extra 50 USD is needed if we hand sew beads, sequins to scatteringly decorate the lace bodice.

Thank you!

avatar - Sarah

I would like to go ahead and have the beads put on the top. Thanks!

Thank you for your measurements.

We will arrange production ASAP and provide pictures for you to check once we finish it.

Thank you for your kind patience.

Your dress has been finished. It looks very beautiful.

Please kindly note that your dress was customized by following your measurement, which is petite size and smaller than our mannequin. Thus it is hard for us to zip up when it is on our mannequin.

If measurements you provided are correct, this dress would fit you better.

PS. The delivery companies will be off from 19th Jan. to 1st Feb, because of our NEW YEAR HOLIDAY. If you would like to have this dress shipped earlier. Please kindly finish rest payment before 19th Jan.

Thank you!

Hi,

How exciting! I don’t see a picture. Was there one included?

I am very small so that sounds correct :)

Oh, I see it now! It is very beautiful!! I love it! :) I don’t know if this is possible at this point or not, but would it be too much trouble to have the lining extend the whole length of the train? Also, it could just be the way it fits the mannequin, but is the dress too short in the front compared to the rest?


The dress is gorgeous!

Thanks so much!

Also, there are no buttons down the back as requested in picture 7.

I realize that it may be difficult to lengthen the lining without showing a seam... how much would it costs to redo the lining completely and make it the same as the train?


The dress is just beautiful and I love how you did the top!

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your quick reply!

  1. It is hard to extend the skirt including lining. For this kind dress, most dresses' lining is in floor length, and some would have small train. Because silk fabric is very delicate and flowy.
    * Personally, I do not advise to have lining's length as same as the chiffon overlay. If needed, we will remake a new skirt and extra 80 USD would be needed for the fabrics.

  2. This dress has floor length front skirt and chapel trian in the back.

  3. I am sorry for it. We will add buttons for you.

Please kindly let me know your thoughts.

Thank you!


avatar - Sarah

Thanks for getting back with me :)

I think I would like to go ahead and extend the length of the skirt. I was expecting the dress to be fully lined since the pictures I submitted were. Is there still an $80 additional charge even though that was part of the original pictures, or can I at least get a discount?


Thanks for fixing the buttons and for your beautiful work!

Sarah

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your quick reply!

I do not have this dress in hand, I can not guarantee that the skirt of this dress is fully lined. But based on my experience and I could tell from the pictures that the lining of this dress only has small train.

I marked out the lining's small train for you check.

5e2139e8d0f05

Below pictures show the sheer tulle without lining.

5e2139ed679fd

5e2139f2f4064

The lining of your skirt has small train too.

5e213a73311f6

If you want, we will extend the lining for you. I am afraid that the 80 USD is the best I could offer which is the fabrics fee. I do not charge you the tailor fee.

PS. The alterations could be done after 1st Feb, because we will have around 10 days off for the NEW YEAR. It takes around 1-4 weeks for alterations at this peak season.

Thank you for your kind understanding!


avatar - Sarah

Ok, thank you.

Here are a few pictures of the look I am after.

5e2141a196e135e2141bfcaa455e2141d66eb4e

5e214205b40cd


Basically, I just don’t want the train to be see through, so whatever we need to do to fix that is what I would like.

I understand about the added time frame, and that is no problem :)

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your quick reply!

How about we shorten the chiffon to have it slightly longer than lining as marked below? This alterations is for free.

5e214420ab1b1

If you would like to remake a new skirt with long lining's train. You could pay for alteration.

Thank you!




avatar - Sarah

Let me think about it and get back with you. Thanks!

Actually, I think I will just go ahead and have the skirt remade and I will pay for it. Sorry for the trouble!


Thanks,

Sarah

avatar - Tansy

It is okay.

We will remake a new skirt with long lining slightly shorter than chiffon overlayer, and add buttons on the bodice after 1st Feb after getting payment.

Thank you!

avatar - Sarah
