Neckline:
image7/8 on the over dress I would like
the back more closed so I can wear an under-bust corset
shoulder strap wider basically to my bra straps / collar bone
maybe a deeper v neck (image8-10 are fine)

Middle:
image13 I like the beadwork density wise and that the dense beading ends after the crest of the hips.
with being a 34G and having a bit of a belly I want to make sure it doesn't stop at the crest of my belly

Bottom:
image12 (10-12 me wearing it) I would like a little more movement in the over dress I tried this on in person and liked the movement with the little triangle panels

Image 14 is too similar in color and the under dress is too shiny
Image 15 is more the level of color contrast / shiny underdress I'm looking for
cream/ivory/eggshell (not stark white)over dress with a little more nude under dress

I loved my dress!!!

overall it was well worth it for having exactly what I wanted!!
I had to have it taken in (I probably measured incorrectly) and a bit of the beading has fallen off after a few try-ons and the wedding day but with beaded mesh that's not unexpected. I wanted the beading on the torso extended to at/just below the hip, the back closed, and the godets instead of a train because we got married in a garden. They made sure to implement my edits in the best possible way. It's obvious they kept my body in mind while beading.

In hindsight:
1)I would have had a tailor take my measurements
2)they put in the measurement instructions to already have shoes but I didn't so I just put like 6cm which made it difficult to get low enough shoes especially because the tailor had to take up the shoulder seam which shortened an already exactly floor length dress considering you will probably have it tailored when you get it I would have ordered it with like 6inch shoes in mind(you can always take away fabric but you can't add I ended up wearing ballet flats and it was slightly above floor length)
3) I would have asked for a bit more tulle in the godets it was a slight flare but another layer of tulle would have added some more movement to the bottom (my fault I could have told them to change it)

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

Would you like to customize this dress with these details?
- This item is composed with beaded over dress and spaghetti straps slip.

  • Would you like to make neckline lower?
  • We could make the back of both overdress and slip higher, so you could wear an under-bust corset- I will ask for measurements later.
  • Do you mean change beading pattern to the one in picture #13?
    - The beading pattern in picture #7 & 8 does not match our dress or the dress in picture #13 at all. It is better to extend the beading pattern on our dress or dress in picture #13 to cover the higher back of overdress.
  • The slip will have build-in-bra, it is unnecessary for you to wear extra one. Thus, straps could still be thin. Please let me know your thoughts.
  • The skirt of our dress is in the different style of the dress in picture #12. Would you like to change skirt design to the one in picture #12?

  • Would you like the slip to be matte?

  • What color would you prefer for this dress? Ivory over champagne?
    - Here is champagne color for your reference.

    More colors could be found from below color charts.
    60d43581dd401

Please explain more about "with being a 34G and having a bit of a belly I want to make sure it doesn't stop at the crest of my belly".


I will confirm details with you later.

Any question, please kindly let me know. Thanks.

Would you like to customize this dress with these details?

-yes with higher back, and changed skirt (sorry didn't know how customizable it is)

Would you like to make neckline lower?

- I would like it to hit my sternum #16 (attached)

#13 is just to show the dense beading to the widest part of the hips

extend the beading pattern on our dress or dress to cover the higher back of overdress.

-sounds great

straps could still be thin

- the slip having spaghetti straps is fine but I would like the over dress to hide the indention in my shoulders where a bra normally would be

Would you like to change skirt design to the one in picture #12?

-yes I like the movement/flowy bottom triangle pieces of dress #12

Would you like the slip to be matte?

-THE SLIP CAN BE MATTE YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YOU”RE THE BESTTTTT

What color would you prefer for this dress? Ivory over champagne?
- champagne looks great do you have any pictures of it with an ivory beaded tulle overlaid

Please explain more about "with being a 34G and having a bit of a belly I want to make sure it doesn't stop at the crest of my belly".

-referencing to #13 dense patterned beading to the hips and the belt hitting just bellow my chest

i tried to draw on #16/17 basically how deep I want the v, width of straps, extending the pattern to just below my hips

Which number is light champagne

Thank you for your reply.

  • Extra measurement from "Dip of V-neck" to "Bust Point" is needed- green line.
    60d54ef2a1000
    - The overskirt bodice shape would be similar to what you marked in fuchsia. The straps would be wider.

  • Since you would like to customize our pre-designed dress and keep the same beading pattern. I photoshop the pictures with three different beaded lace layout on hips portion. Please kindly let me know which one you would prefer.
    1.
    60d5687a2b5c9
    2.
    60d56769a0039
    3.
    60d56d8e3c624
  • Based on the front design, the back of slip could be as high as marked below.
    60d570a85ebf5
    - The back of overdress could cover your shoulders as marked in yellow. The back of overdress will be covered by beadwork fully.
    60d571105c164

  • Keep slips with thin straps.
  • The bottom design of overdress is as below. The beaded layout would be as our pre-designed dress.
    60d5699b5d6d8
    - The godets layout could be as marked below. ( It is hard to make the godet layout exactly same as white dress you attached, because of different beaded layout.)
    60d56a608983a
    - We will keep train in the overdress' back.
  • The original slip is made from satin which is glossy. But we could use its matte side to make your slip.
    Here is light champagne color for your check.
    60d57185ec64c

    - We provide customization, I could provide pictures for you to check during receiving fabrics. We buy fabrics to make dress after getting payment or deposit.
  • I outline the belt on our pre-designed dress for your check. Would you like to move it up?
    60d56e478d861
  • Please provide below measurements:
    1. trap width( yellow line: measure from shoulder seam to the edge of V-neck.)
    60d56eb3354ba
    2. bust point to beadwork ending ( blue line: wear bra when taking this measurement to avoid mastoptosis.)
    60d56fb5961b4
    3. bust point to top of beaded belt ( green line: wear bra when taking this measurement to avoid mastoptosis.)
    60d5704cafc17

I have set estimate price, please kindly check it. The final price depends on final design, fabrics, measurements, etc. Thank you!

#2 for the hip beading

I don't want a built in bra if possible

No train, godets on the whole skirt

The back of the over dress and slip sounds great

Does light champagne have a more yellow undertone and the normal champagne is a brown/nude? Or is it actually just a lighter color with no hue shift



Iv you don't mind I would like to see updated pricing
avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

Beadwork layout on dress is as below: #2.

  • No build-in-bra
  • Both slip and overdress are see-through without train.
    - Godets as marked below are on whole skirt( front, side, back)
  • Back slip is as high as marked below.
  • Light champagne color is more yellowish. Here is color chart for your check.

    I have changed price, please kindly check it. Thank you!

avatar - Samgirl44

I'm going to do Champagne

"Both slip and overdress are see-through without train" I'm not sure what you mean by see-through

Does that mean the slip going to have godets as well?



avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your down payment.

Noted. This ensemble would be ivory overdress with champagne slip.

I am sorry for wrong spelling. I mean both overdress and slip are in floor length as you required no train.

Slip does not have godet. Godet is always adding for making bottom flare/ puffy, etc.

Could I get a picture of the matte satin with the overlay?

and on the back of the dress how are you extending the pattern to the neckline?

Don't worry Im not making any changes I'm just curious

avatar - Tansy

We are off at weekends. I will reply you 2 days later. Thank you for your kind patience.

According to bust point to beadwork ending 59cm you provided, the lace layout would be as similar to below one. We painted jthe layout in blue for your reference.

can I still have some of the beaded lines going from the bottom of the pattern to the floor

IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 😍😍😍😍😍

avatar - Tansy
Yes, the puffy bottom will still have beading strips. Thank you.
avatar - Samgirl44

I would like pearl buttons if possible

avatar - Tansy

Yes, we will keep pearls buttons on back. Thank you.

avatar - Samgirl44

The seam under the armpit doesn't look finished and when I'm wearing will the leaves on the butt be level with each other because they don't currently look level

60f0256ab262560f02572ef6b860f0257c03e54

Can you remove the weird diagonal lines and just have stripping up

  • The beadwork is hand-sewn to the dress, it can not exactly align. You could check our pre-signed item, the beadwork on it does not align too.
    - We will adjust the leave pattern for you.

  • The seams under armpit is finsihed. Otherwise, there should be open.
    60f0e86312f68
    Prompt:
    1. This dress is made by following your measurements. It is bigger than our mannequin. Thus, pictures can not show the exact wearing effect. Also, we are too busy to place the dress in perfect way when taking pictures as too many dresses are pending here for shoot.

    2. The slip and overdress are separate. Side seams on the slip and overdress can not stay at same place all the time. If needed, we could add some stitches on the side seams to fix the side seams location, or you could add it by yourself after trying on this dress.

    - What does below line mean? It is not side seam.
  • Beaded layout on back waist would be as below.

Thank you!

Thanks for fixing the leaves.

That beading layout above the belt looks good.

I asked about the seam because it looks like the back seam has less extra tulle showing so I wasn't sure why it looks like that.

avatar - Tansy

Thank you for your reply!

Extra more fabrics are always left in the side seams for necessary alterations. If needed, we will cut them. But you can not make any alterations then.

Personally, we advise to keep the extra fabrics in side seams. After trying on this dress, you could cut them by yourself, which is very easy.

Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you.

avatar - Samgirl44

Ahhhhh ok I wasn't sure why but that makes perfect sense I'll keep it then thanks for explaining it

avatar - Tansy

You are weclome. We will arrange alteration for you. Thank you for your kind patience.

We finished alterations. Here is a picture for your reference. Thank you.
