I think the orange part can be chiffon/polyester chiffon crepe. I want it to be soft, but not too transparent. I dont want people to see through my legs. The gold part, can be sparkling ombre sequin. That part needs to be firm and able to remain straight because its covering my breast area.
Important-I dont want the dress to make me look fat in my waist area.
What are your thoughts on the choice of fabric.
I need the dress by June 12-15th.
Please let me know if you can make it

Well made designer dress

Tansy did an amazing job at creating a dress from my design. She paid attention to all the details. The texture and fit is just perfect!!

This is my second time getting a dress made by her.
Highly recommend!

Thanks for your inquiry. This is Tansy at your service.

- Dress Design

Keep the original design of this dress with those details.

  • Chiffon is sheer, but we could add lining underneath to avoid sheerness. Please kindly choose color from below color charts. Chiffon swatches are available. If needed, please kindly let me know.

  • I do not find gold part from the pictures you submitted.
    - Please provide a picture to show ombre sequin fabric you interested in for our reference.
    - For "remain straight", do you mean sequin fabric needs to hold structured shape? Thick satin fabric is better, because sequin fabric is softer.

  • We could add boning underneath to make the bodice reach corset design, so that it could slim your waist.
  • It will come with padded cups, boning and lining.
  • Zip closure
  • We do not have same belt. You could buy it from belt stores.

- Sketching Service

You could buy our Sketching Service to preview your dress design if needed. The sketch will be provided in about 7 working days after getting payment.

Any question, please kindly let me know. Thanks.

Hi

1. Chiffon fabric- I like the color 128 in the color chart you sent. The part that is covering one side of the shoulder can be sheer. Infact it might look nice that way. What do you think.? But the part thats below the waist need to be not sheer so I people cant see thru my legs. Can you place a lining for the bottom half of the dress (below waist) to avoid making it transparent? what are your thoughts on that.

2. The corset- is it going to be separate or attached to the dress? I dont know what its like in the original dress. I like your idea of- add boning underneath to make the bodice with corset design, so that it could slim your waist. I like the padded cups, boning and lining and zip closure (zip on side , not on back). Here is the fabric I liked from your website- lunss.com. I sent a link. Its F4028. I will choose gold color

What do you think about this one in gold for fabric- lunss.com

I think we can use sequin and put a boning inside which will keep it stiff and upright. what do you think?

The part that you marked in the picture with yellow outline, thats the part that needs to be stiff upright like a corset. I have sent you total 9 pictures to show how the pack of the dress need to look like . That also needs to be stiff and upright like a corset. Did you see pictures of the back of dress?

3. How do I pay and how much do I pay inorder to proceed with this dress. I need it delivered by June 15

HI I added this to my cart and am trying to pay, in order to rush the service but even though its in my cart, I am getting and error message saying that there is nothing in my cart. I would like to pay and get started with the order right away. Also I have some suggestions about how the bottom of the dress looks. I would like the front bottom of the dress to be cut higher, meaning upto my shin level and back side bottom end of dress to be lower. So it looks asymmetric cut. i will send a picture to show you what I mean

5eab41df219f2

5eab45941c913

5eab45c7a4e01

This is to show you the fabric. I want gold for the corset, with boning and padding to make it stiff. I dont want to wear a bra inside

I am interested in the sketching service but I also dont want that to delay the process of receiving the dress due to waiting for sketch.

I am also interested in the swatch but again dont want to delay the dress timeline of june15

Also in the yellow outline that you made in the picture to show the corset, I think that the pointed part needs to be on both sides. Not just one. I think in the picture we are able to only see one side as the other is covered with that orange chiffon.


I can buy the belt on my own, no problem

This picture is from your website- do you have a belt like this?

5eab4a69b6c7c

Hi

Are you getting my messages?

Can we please confirm this order

avatar - Tansy

Sorry for keeping you waiting.

We are on May Day holidays from 1st May to 5th May. I will reply you in 24 hours.

Thank you for your kind patience.

Thank you for your kind patience.

1. Chiffon fabric in color 128.

  • Below marked area would be made of chiffon without lining. The rest part have lining underneath to avoid sheerness.
    5f48989912dc2
  • I mean main bodice as marked below would have bonings inside for holding the shape. It is sewn to the dress. Yes, I see the back dress pictures.
    5f4898fb4cf81
    - It is hard to make the pointed part on both sides. Because the point on right side would show through the chiffon fabric and it is not beautiful, also could make the chiffon fabric snagged.

  • Come with paded cups, boning and lining and zip on side.
  • That sequin fabric are in ombre colors.
    If you only want a same gold color, here is our nomal gold sequin fabric for you check.
    5f489974c0905
  • High- low skirt
  • We can buy that gold belt for you.

I have set estimate price, so that you could make payment.

Thank you!

Hi

1. color- I like the coral color . The color 128 you show, is it coral?. How and when do i get to view the swatch?

2. Am i going to receive the dress by june 15?

3. The corset- In you opinion, what will look good for this style? the gold sequin? or a light gold satin like this?

5eb43c30ace0f

I can sen you measurements tomorrow.

I would like you to make the dress according to the exact measurements I send you .

But I may have gained some weight by the time I wear this dress. Is there a way for you to make it so that there is some extra fabric on the inside of dress? So if I open up the one outer layer of stitches, it can accommodate my larger size in case I gain some weight?

5eb4499e0ebdf 5eb449ca8e788

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your down payment.

  • Chiffon #26 is coral color.
    Chiffon #128 is salmon pink color.
  • If you could provide measurements in 24 hours, this dress could be finished about the end of May. If you could finish the rest payment in 24 hours after checking the pictures, normally this dress could be delivered by 15th June. The exact delivery time depends on the delivery company in your place.

  • Personally, thick satin fabric would be better, because it is plain whilst sequin is itchy. You could choose color from below color charts.
  • Yes, we will leave some materials in seams for necessary alterations.

Thank you!

5eb5afefeedf7 5eb5affe62f3a



14, 37, 74- these three look like gold color to me. Is there a way you can send me their picture side by side so I can choose properly. I dont know how to do that myself.


I will then choose one of the gold and place next to the 128/26 and finazlie the colors.

But fabric- satin and chiffon is good.

  • Back shoulder width- 16.5 inch
  • Bust (fullest portion)- 34.3 inch
  • Under Bust- 29.8 inch
  • Mid Shoulder to Bust Point- (with bra 9.4 inch) (without bra 9.8 inch)
  • Waist (smallest portion of your waist) 28 inch
  • Hips (fullest portion of your butt) 40 inch
  • Height (barefoot) -63.2 inch
  • Hollow to floor( measure with barefoot)- 50.5 inch
  • Hollow to front hemline- 31 inch
  • Hollow to back hemline( measure with shoes on)- 53.5 (with 3.5 inch shoes on)
  • Shoe Height- 3.5 inch
  • Armscye- 15.5 inch
  • Belly(circumference of the middle area of Waist and Hip, it is a must-have measurement for the pregnancy and tummy fat)- 33.5 inch

How do I pay the rest, I tried but dont know how to.

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

You could know how to make the rest payment after checking our finished dress pictures.

I am sorry that we only have swatches in hand. We provide customization service, so we only buy fabrics when making dresses instead of stocking fabrics.

Thank you for your kind understanding.

Is 14 37 and 74 all shades of gold?


avatar - Tansy

#14 and #37 are gold. #74 is champagne.

Thank you!

avatar - Monalisa

I will do 37 and 128

Thanks

Or do you think the champagne will look good with the 128

avatar - Tansy

Personally, champagne could work well with color #128. Champagne is lighter and low key, it could add contrast to the bold color #128.

Thank you!

avatar - Monalisa

Okay

Let's do 74 champagne and 128 salmon color then


avatar - Tansy

It is great!
We will make dress ASAP and you will receive an email about dress finished date very soon.

Thank you for your kind patience.

avatar - Monalisa

Please leave another 1-1.5 inch of material inside . So incase i gain weight I can still alter and wear the dress.

avatar - Tansy

I understand.

Have a lovely day!

What's the color of the lining inside in the bottom

The part that's covering the shoulder , can it be made more narrow. So it doesn't go beyond my shoulder. I don't want it to look like a sleeve

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

The shoulder strap is 13 cm wide. If needed, we can narrow it.

Please kindly let me know the strap wide you prefer.

Thank you!

avatar - Monalisa

Hi

I don't know what exactly how many centimeters you need to narrow it down . But you can you my shoulder measurements I sent you to make that decision. I just don't want it to go beyond my shoulder. I want it to look sleeveless, not with sleeve.


Also what's the color of the lining that's placed inside the bottom of the dress.

Thanks

Also the pointed part in the corset, can it be more stiff like shown in the original design?

the one you made looks soft and not very pointed, does not look stiff.



avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

Actually, the original dress has wide straps to create short sleeves. Here are pictures for you check.

5ed5e8e2bfbdc

5ed5e8e7e0fdc

  • Yes, we can make it sleeveless according to the Back Shoulder Width 16.5 inch you provided.
  • The corset bodice is made of satin in color #74 as you required.
    5ed5e99ed4ae7
    5ed5e9be0dd66
  • Your dress did has corset bodice. Here is a picture for you check. You could see that the sharp top is very firm.
    5ed5e88a5e4fd
    -Satin fabric has to cling to your bust, otherwise anyone who is as tall as you or taller than you, would see your breasts.

Thank you!

avatar - Monalisa

Ok. It looks good

Just please fix the shoulder area so it looks sleeveless.

And it will be all done


avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

We will alter it for you and I will contact you once finishing it.

Thank you for your kind patience.

avatar - Monalisa

Should I click approve on your pictures?

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your quick reply!

Yes, you can approve it now.

And make the rest payment after altering strap.

Thank you!

I am glad to tell you that we finished alterations.

Hi I got the dress

I have question.

It makes me look fat in waist area . Where the lower half of dress starts

I think is because of the double layer in lining in the bottom part. I was expecting only single layer lining eg, just the satin champagne material and not the other layer that is attached with it. but the double makes it very thick

Is there a way for you to make it thinner in that waist area . I am sending pics

5ee14a6599168

5ee14afb9bf47

5ee14b5a4ef2a

5ee14c57723165ee14c9bbf65c

avatar - Tansy

I am sorry for it.

  • This kind design is very common for making dress look more expensive and holding good shape. If needed, we can remove lining and keep a layer of satin and chiffon. Please kindly note that lining is very thin, satin is thicker. It could not make skirt slimmer if we only remove lining. Thus, if you want the skirt to be slimmer, it is better to remove satin.
    - It is very easy to remove lining or satin. You could alter it locally or send it back for us to alter.

  • Please kindly wear belt when you are in this dress. This dress has loose one shoulder piece as marked below, which making the waist and bodice fat. If this dress does not have that piece or you put belt at waist, your waist would look slimmer. Slimmer waist look also depends on your measurements ( body size).

Thank you!

avatar - Monalisa

The problem is, when I put the belt on,it doesn't stay on the stich line. It is either sliding above or below the stich line.

By stich line, I mean the line that connects top and bottom half of dress.. so it looks very bad when I put on the belt. If the belt had a little hook or something that will hold it in place then it might look better.


Also the other problem I think is that the amount of pleats in the chiffon material gives it bulk in waist area . What if we remove the pleats and make it flat , I think it might be better.


I do like how you made the corset. It looks lovely.

if I send dress back , who pays for shipping?

Do you charge for alteration?

Thanks


avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your quick reply!

Payment is needed if there needs more fabrics. Otherwise, you only need to cover double shipping fee.

  • If needed, we could use satin to make a belt which will sewn to the dress to cover the waistline.
    The satin belt is in color #74 too. Extra 15 USD is needed.

  • The waist of original dress has plenty of pleats and we make your dress based on this design. i am sorry that it is hard to remove pleats from finished dress, we have to remake a new skirt without pleats. Extra 40 USD is needed for fabrics, we do not charge you tailor fee.
  • It is free for us to remove lining.

Thank you for your kind understanding!


avatar - Monalisa

Hi

I need to remove the pleats in dress. I can pay to send you the dress and can you please pay to send it back to me?

I already spent a lot of money on this dress so cant spend much more.

I wold like to remove all the pleats and make it just flat without pleats. Also I believe you can use same fabric after removing pleats.

Also the shoulder part is quite loose and keeps falling down. Maybe you can make it a bit tighter?

Let me know.

Thanks

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

  • I am sorry that it is hard to remove pleats on finished dress. It will ruin the skirt shape and design. Thus, we have to use new chiffon fabric to remake new skirt.
  • For one shoulder chiffon-piece, how many inches you would like it tighter.
    5ee708f6c4133
  • I understand you, so I only charge you extra fabric fee and we will pay for tailors to alter it.
  • For this dress, we spent 55 USD on shipment. If you could share some beautiful pictures with us then, we could pay for sending this dress to you.

Thank you!

avatar - Monalisa

hi

I am happy to share pictures once dress is altered. I can also share pictures of my dress you made last year that i really liked.

What would be the cost of new fabric , total cost . I will pay for shipping from here to you and if you can please pay for shipping back to me, it will be helpful.

The shoulder, can you make i t tighter by 1 inch. ?

the design of lower half of dress will remain same except that you will remove all pleats. do you think we should keep both satin and lining inside lower half of dress? to give it a firm look , i also don't want it to be so loose that it sticks to my legs and shows all curves of my legs.

What do you think, should we make a new belt? or just alter dress and no belt? because old belt doesnt work.

Thanks

the skirt design without pleats remain same. short from front and longer in back

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

Yes. It would be great if you could share these pictures with us.

Here is summary of your alterations. If any thing wrong or missed, please kindly let me know.

  1. One shoulder chiffon piece as marked below would be shorten/ lowered by 1 inches, so it will be tighter.
  2. New skirt without any pleats. How about we remove lining but keep a layer of satin underneath to hold the shape?
  3. It is better to wrap belt at waist to define waist. If you have belt in hand, it is unnecessary for us to remake one.

The fabrics cost is about 40 USD.

Extra 15 USD is needed if we make satin belt.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks

avatar - Monalisa

Thanks.

I like the belt that you provided with the dress but it slides up and down because there's no hook to keep it in place.

Is it possible for you to just place very thin little loops on both sides of dress at waist , made of thin thread that the belt can go thru , in order to keep in place?

Let's remove the pleats and the lining. Will keep the satin in place underneath the chiffon for bottom half of dress.

It will still have the stiff appearance correct? And not so thin to stick to my legs. Right?

Thanks.


avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

  • Yes, we can add this thin loop at side waist.
    5eead6b1dec65
  • After removing lining, it would slightly change the skirt shape but not too much. No worries.
  • I have set fabric price, please kindly check it.

We will alter the dress after receiving the dress and payment.

We will email you about the shipping address.

Thank you and stay safe!

avatar - Monalisa

Hi.

I don't see where and how to pay.. please advise.

Also , I think we agreed that I will pay to send it to you and you will pay to send it to me. Is that correct?

And in your address, it says "sates" what does that mean . JiangSu is that a state?


avatar - Tansy

Please kindly check the sidebar of current page.

5eeaec2f0272d

Yes, we will pay for sending this dress to you.

Yes, sate is JiangSu

Thank you!


avatar - Monalisa

HI

Just want to show you what I am imagining the dress needs to look like after alteration. A sleek look in the waist area

5eeb917749a57

5eeb926a0b0ec

just to show you the look, but not too large/bulky in the bottom

Thanks

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your payment for fabric.

The waist of your dress would be plain without pleats. But the skirt would have some pleats which are created naturally just like what you attached.

Please send me the tracking number once sending the dress back.

Thank you!

avatar - Monalisa

Hi

So also wanted to confirm you can do this.

The inner satin and the lining are very large and that's also causing the lower half of dress to look big. Can you please make it narrow. I am sending you pictures to show you..

This is original and looks wide/larger

5ef0269ec841a

This is when I make it narrow by holding it on the back. If you make it narrow like this it will help dress look sleek and narrow at bottom

5ef0271026c05

Another picture to show you how wide the lower half of original dress is.

5ef0276de3452

I hope you re able to understand what I mean.


So to summarize we are doing.

1. Shoulder part to be short by 1 inch

2. Small loops on side for belt

3 remove pleats

4. Narrowing lower half of dress by removing excess satin material .(currently it's too wide).

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for listing all alterations.

Would you like to make satin in sheath style whilst keep A-line chiffon overlay?

Thank you!

avatar - Monalisa

Yes, If I understand you correctly.

Sheath style means close to the body (but definitely not bodycon). I dont want it to be too tight either.

Yes A-line with chiffon overlay . The chiffon will also be same size shape as the satin (like sheath), it just lays on top of the satin.

Heres an example to show you what I am imagining the bottom to look like. Narrow like sheath but not tight fitting.

5ef115f40296f

Hi. I made this sketch to show you the difference. Thanks for your help.

5ef11dc1e5f52

Hi

Can you please send me the exact mailing address again. I went to FedEx to ship but they couldn't find that zipcode. There was an error message.

Can I use UPS to mail you instead of FedEx?

Thanks.

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

The shipping address I sent is correct. We have many retailers all around the world. And all of them can send fabrics or dresses to that shipping address successfully. Yes, you can use UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.

The skirt shape of your dress would be akin to below one. Please kindly note that the real dress shape depends on your body size and fabric texture.

Hi

I went to USPS. They said due to covid it may take 2 weeks or upto 2 months. Is that still okay? What is your experience with USPS. (It's different from UPS)

Is there any other option you know of?

Also UPS and FedEx shipping is very expensive right now. Charging 75-100$.


Thanks.

I am sorry for it.

The shipping fee is higher because of virus.

DHL is better. But we are okay with USPS.

Thank you!

I am glad to tell you that we received your parcel. We will make below alterations.

  1. One shoulder chiffon-piece as marked below would be shorten by 1 inches.
  2. Add this thin loop at side waist.

  3. Make new skirt without pleats.
  4. Narrow lower half of dress by removing excess satin material, so the skirt would be as slim as below one.

If any questions, please kindly let me know in 3 days.

Thank you!

Hi tansy

Thanks

Just to clarify,the skirt to be narrow as shown in here below in my sketch (shows old design and new design)

Tansy

Please review our last conversation from 6/22:

Sheath style means close to the body (but definitely not bodycon). I dont want it to be too tight either.

Yes A-line with chiffon overlay . The chiffon will also be same size shape as the satin (like sheath), it just lays on top of the satin.

Heres an example to show you what I am imagining the bottom to look like. Narrow like sheath but not tight fitting.

Yes, we will make skirt as you required.
