Dear team,

I want to start by saying I love the dresses you create, really stunning.

I will be getting married at the end of August next year in the UK, therefore I have started searching for my dream dress.
I have been going through a lot of models and I believe I know more or less what would suit my body best - I am a number 14-16 in UK, but looking to drop a bit of weight in the next few months, probably like all brides :)

I know that I would like something elegant, but modern, special, love some sparkle, but not too busy; easy to wear and light (being summer). I believe an A line, with a V-neck, V back, suits me best and a delicate long or 3/4 sleeve. I am not a huge fan of lace therefore the fabric is very important for me.

I have attached a dress I spotted online - or you can see it at this Instagram link https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceeqa14rPFh/
Could we do something like this? I know hers is mermaid, so converted in an A-line. Do you have a similar fabric?

I also like your dress, but could we adapt it with a V neck and fitted sleeves?
https://www.victoriasqueen.com/beaded-lace-sheer-summer-wedding-dress-4893.html

What would probably help me choose between the two is if you have some pictures of the fabrics (one similar to the first model and one for your dress)

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Irina

Hello Irina,

Thank you for choosing LUNSS high-end customization. ๐Ÿ˜Šโค

My name is Helen and I'm so excited to work with you to create a "Sparkly long Sleeve A-line Summer Wedding Dressโ€ for your BIG day!


Dress design

  • A fitted bodice with a V-neckline.
  • An open V-back design.
  • Sheer long sleeves.
  • A-line bottom skirt silhouette. With or without a train?
  • Please kindly let me if you need a hair veil as well?

Fabric

Our customer service told me that you like this luxury pearl beads and sequin fabric from our website?

Because it is heavy beaded, so this fabric are also quite heavy, also more draped texture due to the heavy weight.

Below is one of our dress made of this fabric, for your reference. ๐Ÿ˜Š

63a41047cb504

63a41039e81f0

Second fabric

The wedding dress you mentioned from our website is made this fabrics below.

This fabric is lighter. It has sequins on, still shimmering, but no beads.

You can also see that the cost and price of these two fabrics are more than 3 times different, because the materials are different.

Hi Helen,

Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly, I am also VERY excited to have my own customised wedding dress.

Dress design

  • A fitted bodice with a V-neckline - I would also add that I would like the bodice to not be sheer (so a bit more full, like in the attached photos) I don't want to worry about the tummy :)
  • An open V-back design - not very deep though, I will add a photo with an example, zipper ideally with some false buttons maybe? if possible

63a4304e48db9

  • Sheer long sleeves -yes
  • A-line bottom skirt silhouette. With or without a train? - I was thinking a court train
  • Please kindly let me if you need a hair veil as well? - no veil
  • Colour: I would prefer Ivory


Fabric

Could we use the luxury pearls sequin fabric in the bodice, it will give it more structure, look fuller and I love pearls :) it seems very special.

https://oneyard.shop/pearls-sequins-ripple-pattern-glitter-382.html

And could we use a similar fabric, but lighter in the skirt and sleeves? I found some examples, but would need your expertise to know which works best with the pearly one. I am open to other suggestions

https://oneyard.shop/curved-tree-root-pattern-sequin-mesh-562.html

https://oneyard.shop/curved-tree-root-pattern-sequin-mesh-562.html

I also have a question, in the attached photos (so the other design, not the one on your website - I will attach it again) it seems like her is more tulle rather than organza. Can we do that?

PS: these are pictures of a private person, I found on instagram, just FYI in case you want to use the photos :)
63a430e87e0a8

63a43105c8a1d

63a4313c98065


I would love to see a design like this one too and then decide, if possible. I love your first one!!! But I quite love this one too, with a few changes (A line, not such a deep back and not such a big train)

Thank you so much for all your support. I am very grateful to work with such a professional team


Irina

Hi Helen,

Another option for the fabric...looking forward to your recommendation.

avatar - HelenHan

Hello Irina,

Thanks for your clarification on your dress design. Great! ๐Ÿ‘

Bodice

  • No-transparent bodice. Lined with ivory lining. Sheer sleeves.
  • V-back as the design below with buttons.

63a53e6d83871 63a53e8825c70


Botton skirt silhouette

  • A fit-and-flare skirt or an A-line skirt, you have to decide.
  • I have made two sketches of different silhouettes for your reference. Hope it helps you to decide on the design of your dress. ๐Ÿ˜Š

63a5423c8f35f 63a542439b948


Fabrics

  • If referring to the above dress design and fabrics will not use organza. Will use beaded lace, mesh/tulle, and satin underneath.
  • In the original dress above, there is not just one kind of lace, at least two. There's another layer of lace under the beaded lace.
  • So I suggest using the following beads & Sequins lace, with a layer of similar pearls lace added underneath to complete the detail.

A layer of this pearled lace can be added underneath. We will see which one is a better match for the details.

Hi Helen,

Thank you so much for all your help and suggestions.

To confirm: I would prefer the A line bottom skirt, everything looks perfect. I think it's a glamourous, modern dress.

Thank you also for explaining fabrics and choices. It will be Ivory, correct?

Would the pearly details underneath be visible? Do you think overall it would look busy/too much?

How do I proceed to paying for it? I was thinking to send my measurements in May once I have stabilised my weight (I always loose a bit of weight in Spring/Summer). Can I pay now a deposit and the rest in May? What would you suggest?


Kind regards,

Irina

avatar - HelenHan

Hi Irina,


Silhouette: Okay, let's go with an A-line silhouette.


Dress color: Yes, the dress will be in White/Ivory color. Not silver.


Two layers of beads fabric: I will see if it is too busy or not when the fabric has arrived in the later process.


Order: Yes, please place your order when we still have the promotion. You can provide your measurements at your convenience, later in May.

After you place an order and pay a deposit, the order will never expire. You can also tell me if you have any changes before starting the production of your dress. ๐Ÿ˜Š

avatar - Irina Parsons

Hi Helen,


That is perfect. How can I place the order/pay the deposit.

Thank you so much, Helen!

I have just made the deposit and I am extremely happy. You guys have been incredible: great suggestions and options, designs, quick responses, professional ... I will make sure to recommend you to everyone and will definitely order more dresses in the future. I have looked at dresses for months and nothing was exactly what I need, so to be able to customise it so well it's very useful.

I will come back to this page around May to confirm measurements and final details.

Just to confirm, you will send a photo with the dress once finished, correct?

Kind regards,

Irina, a happy future bride :)

avatar - HelenHan

Hi Irina,

I have received your order. Thank you very much for your kind support. โค


Yes! I will arrange to start the production of your dress after I receive your custom measurements and confirmation of all the details.

And upload the photos of your dress for your approval when it is finished production. Then arrange the shipment of your order after getting your final approval. ๐Ÿ˜Š

So that's the basic procedure of this dress customization. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Measurements

Please provide your measurements according to the size requirements we need at your convenience. โค

https://www.lunss.com/how-to-measure

We accept both standard and custom sizes. If you choose a standard size, please refer to our size chart. If you choose a custom size, please refer to our measuring guide and provide the following data.

  • Height(barefoot)
  • Back Shoulder Width
  • Bust(fullest portion)
  • Under Bust
  • Mid-Shoulder to Bust Point
  • Waist(smallest portion of your waist)
  • Hips(fullest portion of your butt)
  • Hollow to Floor(barefoot)
  • Shoe Height
  • Wrist
  • Arm Circumference
  • Armscye
  • Sleeve Length
  • Train Length
avatar - Irina Parsons

Hello Helen,

Hope you are well.

As initially discussed, I am ready to send measurements and start production. The wedding is in less than 3 months so hopefully this gives enough time to make it and ship it.

Height(barefoot) 1.69 cm
Back Shoulder Width 42 cm
Bust(fullest portion) 109 cm
Under Bust 94 cm
Mid-Shoulder to Bust Point 30 cm
Waist(smallest portion of your waist) 93 cm
Hips(fullest portion of your butt) 115 cm
Hollow to Floor(barefoot) 139cm
Shoe Height 8cm
Wrist 18 cm
Arm Circumference 34 cm
Armscye 48 cm
Sleeve Length long - 56 cm
Train Length - court train

Please note I measured myself with a bra on, but as the back is V I will probably not wear a bra. However we can add cups to the dress I believe, to support the bust. Is that ok?

A summary of my dress design "Beaded Lace Wedding dress"; as discussed, same as the photos attached, with few changes:

Bodice:

No-transparent bodice. Lined with Ivory lining.

Sheer sleeves, with details like the photo;

Bust cups included (I am a cup C if it helps, but I added all measurements anyway)


V-back as the design discussed, with zipper

Bottom skirt/Silhouette:

A-line silhouette;

Court train; can we add a button to help put the train up? where would it sit? I wouldn't want to hold it the entire night

Colour: Ivory. no silver beading please, only white and maybe the linen can be Ivory under? I do not want a very white dress.

Fabric: Will use beaded lace, mesh/tulle, and satin underneath. As you mentioned, there are at least 2 layers of lace. So Beads & Sequins lace, with a layer of pearled lace underneath, to complete the detail

Any other questions, please let me know.

Will you be able to confirm how long will it take for the dress to be made and shiped?

Kind regards,

Irina

Sorry, forgot to tell you the estimated production and shipping time of your order.

The estimated production time is about a month. Shipping takes about 7-10 days to arrive at your place after it is shipped out. ๐Ÿ˜Š

avatar - Irina Parsons

Hi Helen,

Thank you very much for getting back to me so quickly! I am so excited :)

The fabric choice looks amazing - is it silver or white beads? I presume the arms will be only with the top layer (brancy beads). My vision for the dress is to be feminine, comfortable, airy almost - hence picking something that is tulle/chiffon.

Few more questions:

-I trust you to choose how deep the clivage is - I like hers (sexy, but not too deep)

-seems like she has shoulder pads - I don't think I would like them, unless you think its necessary

-she has a ribbon around the waist - I like it, do you plan to add it?

-the bustle on the train sounds great, will there be a button too, to attach it? Ideally there would be a button around waist area (at the back) so that it flows down nicely but I don't know if that actually works and if it's long enough for that - I hope I am making sense.

Can you please confirm how long will production take and how long to dispatch? Ideally I need to have it mid July maximum so that I can check if it needs alterations. If sooner even better.

Kind regards,

Irina

Just seen the message on production + dispatch, that means that the dress would be ready end of June and would reach me mid-July :) is that correct?

avatar - HelenHan

Hi Irina,

Thank you for your prompt response too. โค

1, Yes, a plunging V-neckline for your dress. Maybe we can raise the neckline by 1cm-2cm according to the original design.

mceclip0

2, No padding for the shoulder.

3, Yes, your dress will have a ribbon/belt at the waist too.

4, We will add a bustle according to the final length. The purpose is to keep the train off the ground.

5, Yes, you will receive the dress before mid-July. ๐Ÿ˜Š

6, The beads has ivory white. ๐Ÿ˜Š

avatar - Irina Parsons

Thank you very much, Helen!

I agree on the neckline, let's raise it with 1 cm ๐Ÿ˜‡

Looking forward to seeing the photos of the dress!!! I've seen that you can show me a short video on Tik Tok too - I have created an account especially for this so that I can see the dress โค๏ธIrinaCarto

Hi Irina,

Thanks for reaching out. I hope you are doing well. โค

That was an estimated production cycle before. Your order may be delayed for about 10 days to complete...Sorry for the delay, and thank you for your kind understanding.

I will definitely let you know as soon as it is ready. Thanks. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Best regards

Helen

avatar - Irina Parsons

Hi Helen,

Thank you for letting me know. Are we saying the dress is going to be ready around 10th of July?

Could you ship it faster in this case, to make sure it reaches me on time and I have enough time for any alterations?

Kind regards,

Irina

avatar - HelenHan

Hi Irina,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

That is just an estimate, it could be ahead of schedule.

I totally understand that you need to receive it before, in case there is any alteration needed. And yes, of course! I will arrange expedited shipping for your order after I receive your final approval/payment. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thank you very much for understanding, Helen. Looking forward to the photos. The video of the work in progress was beautiful.

By the way, I have changed my shipping address in my account, but on the order it still looks like my old address. Something that we need to make sure is changed before shipping.

Kind regards,

Hi Irina,

1, Thanks for let me know. I don't know that. Could you please share your updated delivery address to me here? I will note on your order, to make sure it will delivered to the right one. Thanks.

Because this dress is made of all beaded fabrics. So it has some weight.๐Ÿ˜Š

avatar - Irina Parsons

Hi Helen,

Have just looked at the photos and video! Gorgeous dress...thank you so much ๐Ÿ˜

A couple of questions as it's not visible in the photos:

-I believe we said we would add a ribon at the waist (just to give some definition to the waist

-did you manage to add a bustle to put the train up? and if yes, can you show me where it is, on one of the photos? great job for making it look so invisible ๐Ÿ˜„

Once these details are confirmed, I will be happy to approve it ๐Ÿคฉ

Also, the address to which it needs delivery is:

28 Sherman Road, Reading, RG1 2PJ, UK

Phone remains the same: +44 7825948578

Kind regards,

Irina

avatar - HelenHan

Hi Irina,

I'm very glad to hear that the dress reches your satisfaction. ๐Ÿ˜Š YES, it is a very gorgeous dress, especially with all of the luxury beads. ๐Ÿคฉ

1, No problem. I will ask our production to make a detachable satin waistband/ribbon to match with your dress. I think a detachable one will be more convenient. Or do you want it fixed to the dress?

mceclip0

2, Yes, I'll take a picture with the train folded up for your reference, before the shipping. ๐Ÿ˜Š

3, New shipping address received. I will forward it to our shipping department right now. ๐Ÿ˜Š

avatar - Irina Parsons

Hi Helen,

You are just amazing, thank you for responding so late (over there).

I agree with you, a satin detachable waistband is better - if I don't like it, I can take it off.

Thank you for the photos with the train folded up and for updating the address.

Let me know when I can complete the payment and how long do you estimate shipping will take :)

Kind regards,

Irina

avatar - HelenHan

Hi Irina,

You are welcome. It is my pleasure. โค

The shipping takes about 7 business days when it is shipped out to you. ๐Ÿ˜Š

avatar - Irina Parsons

Hi Helen,

I was wondering the whole day if the dress is too much or on the contrary...too basic because of the very classic shape? What do you think?

Do you think it would look better if something covered the bust, like in this video from tik tok. I cannot attach the link for some reason but it was added on 22/06.

Does it give a bridal feeling or a party feeling? because I do love the sparkle but I also want to feel like a bride (hope it makes sense)

mceclip0

Kind regards,

Irina

avatar - HelenHan

Hi Irina,

That will be very complicated if you want to modify it now because it is completely done already!

There are many different designs of wedding dresses, and each dress has its own characteristics. I think yours is a very bridal look!

1, The dress you see is made entirely of pleated tulle fabric, the bottom skirt is also tulle only. Just a little bit of beading fabric at the neckline there. It is a completely different kind of design... The fabrics, design, everything.๐Ÿ˜„

mceclip1 QQๅ›พ็‰‡20230705084719

2, If you want to make the changes, then this whole dress needs to be completely remade. It takes at least 15-20 days for the re-customization with expedited production even. The modification cost is at least 200 USD, which is only the workmanship and the fabrics, and there is no profit.

3, I advise you not to change it. This dress is really beautiful!

I have an idea. Because the cost of modifying a dress is also not cheap, I suggest you can make a new one with tulle (the dress you saw on our TikTok. It cost 400 USD. So buy a cost-effective one, and you can have 2 wedding dress changes to wear. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I will arrange expedited production for this second dress and send them together to you!

Do you want the train be folded up with buttons/clicks, or do you want it on your hand with a loop?

mceclip0mceclip1

avatar - Irina Parsons

Hi Helen,

I am sorry for having panicked yesterday. I love the dress, but started having doubts on whether it's too sparkly and if it looks like a wedding dress or a party dress. I think all brides want to have the perfect dress and worry that they might find a better one. I also feel like maybe I am too "big" as the dress looks big...so normal women insecurities.

Actually seeing the photos from your production factory (with natural light I presume) made me see it differently and it looks so beautiful and not as big. In the studio photos it looked a bit too silver, but in the production factory it actually looks white.

It's exactly like the original and I love it, thank you for creating such a wonderful dress. Apologies for the stressful moment.

The detachable ribon is a great touch, don't you think? Gives it more definition and even the neckline seems a bit more finished (maybe it's just the photos).

Regarding the train, I would prefer a button to hold it up, but can we do just one instead of in 3 places and maybe lift it higher, around the waisline? Not sure how it would look as I don't want the dress to look too short, but definitely just 1 button, not 3. I hope it makes sense.

All in all, I am very happy with the dress. Thank you for your patience and guidance.

Irina

avatar - HelenHan

Hi Irina,

Thanks for your reply.

  • Yes, it's even prettier with a belt! ๐Ÿ‘
  • We added some beads along the V neck and V back, to make it more detailed. Good eyes! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Bustle:

Let me explain to you why we wanted three buttons at that time: The reason is that your skirt has a long train and is made of beaded fabrics, so it is also heavy. If there's only one button for the folding, then it might not hold very well.

I came up with a compromise idea. We can fold it up a little higher, under your waist. And secure the train with two buttons side by side. It might be more secure. Please see below. I hope it is okay for you. ๐Ÿ˜Š

QQๅ›พ็‰‡20230705190739

Kind reminder:

I will arrange the shipment after receiving your final approval/final payment. Please complete the balance payment as soon as possible. Thanks. ๐Ÿ˜Š

avatar - Irina Parsons

Hi Helen,

Thank you for the reassurance :) the definition around the neckline and back makes it look so much better. hopefully they won't scratch the skin too much.

Yes it does make sense to need extra support because of the beads weight (I didn't consider that). It looks short at the back though, with it folded higher, and when you add actual curves it will lift it even higher...if it makes sense - the tummy/buttom will lift the dress higher.

So should we consider that too and add the 2 buttons lower? What do you think?

You have my full approval (obviously you will deliver once the train buttons are done I presume). Thank you once again for the beautiful dress and for the patience.

How do I make the payment?

Kind regards,

Irina

I figured it out :) done!

avatar - HelenHan

Hi

Thanks for your final approval. โค

Ok! We will add the 2 buttons a bit lower, and arrange the shipment of your dress when the bustle/buttons are done. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thanks for all of your precious support. Have a great day.

Helen

avatar - Irina Parsons

Thank you Helen! The goal is to have the back nicely on the ground, like the front, when the train is up.

If you can please let me know when it's been shipped, I would be very grateful.

Kind regards,

Irina

this is better length wise, but with the 2 buttons next to each other as you suggested, instead of the 3
