After already providing me with the perfect wedding dress for the ceremony, Shirley and her team managed to whip up a second dress for me for the afterparty which was equally perfect as the first. Shirley was extremely helpful and responsive and the dresses feel high quality. I want to get married again just so I could wear the dresses again. π
Hello
Thank you for choosing LUNSS for your high-end customization. This is Shirley at your service. It's my pleasure to assist you in customizing this sparkly wedding dress. π
Deep V back as picture 1, front as picture 2, and add a thigh-high slit as the picture 3, no problem!
I just wanted to confirm if the sparkly mesh overlay and the plunging neck dress underneath are one piece or a two-piece set.
Fabric recommendation:
Price & Order
The estimated price of this dress is $$$, all-inclusive!
The price includes the following services.
I will ask for your measurements after receiving your reply. We look forward to working with you soon:)
Best regards from
Shirley
Hi Shirley,
Thanks so much for all the info, I am OBSESSED with the fabric, it's so pretty!
To your question: I would love it, if the dress would work as two pieces but for the sake of the wedding and the sparkling dress not accidentally slipping off during it, I think it would make sense if it were stitched to the straps of the slip dress, if that makes sense? Then after the wedding I could open up the stitches and use them as two separate parts, do you know what I mean?
And I just realized, the slip dress also has a very deep plunging neckline in the front so maybe we could have it less deep so my boobs will not fall out? π I would like to keep the deep V but not all the way down to my waist.
Best,
Joëlle
I think the dress in the pictures, they probably sewed the slip dress to the glittery fabric at the waist band too so the slip dress would not open up too wide in the front. What do you think? Maybe it does make more sense to sew the slip dress to the glittery fabric permanently actually... Let me know what you think.
Ow and I'm guessing, the dress would have a little zipper or something in the back below the V cut to put on? Is it possible to hide that zipper as best as possible so it doesn't destroy the aesthetic of the dress?
And you know what, now that I look at it again, I don't like the leg slit anymore. I think it would disturb the movement and the beautiful pattern of the glitter dress. Can we skip the leg slit?
Okay, sorry Shirley for the back and forth, I should have thought this through before replying. π
So, can we keep the deep V neck in the front and sew the slip dress to the glittery dress at the waist and at the shoulder straps? And no leg slit. And a hidden zipper in the back, if that works. Otherwise let me know if it would be better on the side.
And the satin slip dress should also follow the same shape as the glittery part, so fitted top and A-line skirt. And can you make sure that the satin slip dress is not made from polyester? If possible I'd prefer it to be silk satin.
Hello
So sorry for my delayed reply.

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.
Thanks so much, Shirley! Do you know what your satin recommendation is made of? I am less concerned about the effect and more about me sweating in the dress... Is it a cotton satin?
I'll take my exact measurements and send them to you.
Thanks again and best,
Joëlle

I consulted with the dressmaker, and if the inner dress and glitter overlay are fixed together, we recommend using linen fabric for the inner dress.
https://oneyard.shop/soft-and-skin-friendly-linen-fabric-321.html
This fabric is soft, it's a linen material, and we often use it as a lining for dresses. If you agree, you can place your order at any time.
Best regards
Shirley
Hi Shirley,
I would love a linen inlay but would the linen not dull the sparkle of the overlay? Or do you think it would not be visible like that?
Thanks for your help,
Joëlle
Hi Joëlle
Please don't worry, the linen fabric will not affect the effect of the glitter fabric. Please feel free to place your order.
Regards
Shirley
Hmm, I'm just unsure of it fitting as nicely as satin or silk would... also with the way linen tends to crease etc. Is the satin inlay not possible?
https://oneyard.shop/pure-white-monolayer-linen-lining-fabric-1719.html
Rest assured, this fabric was recommended by our dressmaker. As you can see, it's not the type of material that wrinkles easily. It has a lovely drape and feels wonderful to the touch.
Okay sure, then I trust you. π I'll place the order. Looking forward to this, so exciting! And thanks so much for your patience, Shirley!
You are very welcome!π
We will arrange for the factory to start making your dress as soon as possible. Once the dress is finished, we will send you photos for your confirmation before shipping it out.
Best regards
Shirley
Ow but can you make sure they use the Ivory colour, not the stark white?
Thanks Shirley!
Yes, dear, not stark white, unless a customer specifically requests 'pure white,' our wedding dresses are typically ivory or off-white. Rest assured. π
Ah amazing, thank you so much! π
You are welcome!
Hi Shirley,
I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to quickly check in in regards to the process of my dress. Do you know where in the process the dressmaker currently is?
Thanks and best,
Joëlle
Hello Joëlle
Hope you are doing well too!
Your dress has been cut and is now waiting to be sewn. I believe I can send you photos for confirmation by next week at the latest. Thank you so much for your patience!
Best regards
Shirley
Ohhh, amazing news! Can't wait. :)
Thanks so much, Shirley, it looks amazing!
I was just wondering about the sleeves: In the inspiration they're quite long and loosely flowing (if you check the pictures above) while this dress looks like it's got rather short sleeves. Could you send me the measurements of the sleeves from the shoulder seam to the wrist elastic? And would it even be possible to alter the sleeves still?
Best,
Joëlle
Hello
It's possible the different fabric is causing the dress to look different. We are making it according to the measurements you provided, so please don't worry. I will have the dressmaker take pictures of the sleeve measurements for you shortly. π
The sleeve length you provided was 50.8 cm, but we made it 55.5 cm. Please rest assured, the sleeves will not be short. π
Thanks for that Shirley. Could you make it longer then please? Just to be on the safe side. :)
The sleeve length is already quite long, and we don't recommend making it any longer. If you'd like, we can send you an extra yard of fabric for future use. How does that sound? π
What is your measurement from your shoulder to your wrist?
Looking at the first picture, this style of sleeve can be pulled up, so it doesn't necessarily need to be very long—just a suitable length. What do you think?
I tried measuring it again (it's not so easy by myself π ) and it would probably be around those 55cm to the wrist. I just want the arms to be nice and flowy and not stretch the fabric only to have the elastic at my wrist... I'd rather have the arms a bit too long than too short.
Okay, we'll remake the sleeves for you, making them 5cm longer.
Thank you so much, Shirley, I really appreciate it!
You are welcome! We will send you photos next week after we've finished it.π
Hello
We've adjusted the sleeves for you; this length should be sufficient. Upon receiving your approval and the final payment, we will arrange for shipment as soon as possible.
Best regards
Shirley
Hi Shirley, thanks so much! I will transfer it right now.
Best,
Joëlle
Hello Joëlle
Thanks for your approval! We're arranging the shipment ASAP:) π
Best regards
Shirley
Dear Shirley,
I just tried the dress and it is absolute perfection, thank you all so so much, it is amazing!
I will tag you once I post it on social media, would you mind giving me your username for tiktok / instagram?
Have a great day,
Joëlle
Hello
Thank you very much for your kind review! Please don't forget to share photos with us when you wear this dress on your wedding day. Our entire team will be greatly encouraged by them. Thank you! β€οΈ
Have a nice day!
Kind regards
Shirley
Thank you so much for your kind review! If you have any custom needs in the future, please feel free to contact us.ππ¨β€οΈπ¨
Thank you, Shirley! And I will definitely update my review after the wedding with pictures of the dress. π
That's great! We'll patiently await your photos. I hope you have a wonderful day!πΉπΉπΉ
Hi Shirley,
Sorry, I have one more question: Can I steam or iron this dress somehow? Or what would you suggest? I don't want to steam off all the sparkle. :)
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hello
Hope you are doing well. We consulted the fabric supplier, and they said it is fine to iron it at a low temperature. π
Hi Shirley,
Happy New Year! :) I hope you are having a beautiful celebration!
I was wondering if you also do men's wedding suits? Or only dresses? Or do you have a recommendation of where we could get my fiancé's suit tailor-made?
Thanks in advance!
Hi
I’m sorry, but we do not offer custom suits. I apologize that I don't have any specific shops to recommend, but you might want to search for men's suits on Amazon to see if any styles catch your eye.
Those are ready-to-wear suits, so you need to pick the right size. You can also check the customer reviews on the platform to help you choose a style you like. Thank you for your New Year's wishes! I wish you a very happy and wonderful life as well.
Best regards
Shirley
Thanks so much, Shirley, that's totally fine, I just thought I would check. But I will leave that up to him then to find out. π
If I would want to maybe order another dress, a different one, could I also message you here directly or do I need to set up a new order? I am thinking of ordering an afterparty dress. :)
Hello dear
Since our shop is currently not accepting custom orders through the website, you won't be able to submit a request on the new page. Instead, we suggest you send the photos of your desired designs here. We will provide a quote and create a custom payment link for you.
May I ask what your latest required delivery date is? We are currently handling a high volume of orders, and our production time is longer than usual.
Waiting for your reply.
Best regards
Shirley
Hi Shirley,
Oh, that's so nice of you, thank you!
Latest delivery date would be mid-May, would that be possible still?
I have a ChatGPT mockup of my dress idea, let me know if this is even possible. π The tulle could also be a bit more even like a tutu out to the side.
Thank you so much for looking into it.
Best,
Joëlle
Hi
The design you sent is beautiful, but we recommend making it a full corset like the image on the right below. Regarding the skirt—would you like it to be more voluminous/fluffy? Do you have any reference photos for the style you prefer?
Also, what do you think of this back design?
.webp "unnamed (17)")
The estimated quote for this dress is $385. We can expedite the production to ensure you receive it by mid-May. Let us know your thoughts!
I will send you some lace options for you to choose from later.
Best regards
Shirley
Hi Shirley,
Sorry, I needed a few days to think it over but yes, I love it, let's do it! π
I think the back looks fantastic!
In regards to the tulle skirt: I think if we would just add one more layer of tulle it would already look a bit for fluffly and less flat, what do you think?
And do you think the delicate cut-outs in the front of the corset are absolutely not doable? It just looks so pretty.
Have a great day,
Joëlle
Ow and for the sleeves, I need to adjust my initial measurement, as I would like the sleeves to be on the longer side and also based on the previous dress, maybe we could go with 65cm there.
Hello Joëlle
1. No problem at all. We can add more layers of netting to the underskirt to give it more volume and make it fluffier.
2. We are so glad to hear that you love the back design! Additionally, we highly recommend using this lace for the bodice and sleeves.
(same lace dress for your reference:))
3. Regarding the cut-out design on the neckline, I apologize that we cannot replicate the effect exactly. We have previously made a neckline in this style—what do you think of it? Do you like it?
4. Also, please confirm if you would like the corset to be semi-transparent (as shown in the photo) or fully opaque.
Kind regards
Shirley
Hi Shirley,
Thanks so much for all the additional info. Find my replies below:
Thank youuu!
Hi
1 & 2 & 3, perfectοΌ
4, We’re happy to show you more details of the form-fitting dress we made previously. And you're right—the semi-transparent effect will be very subtle and perfect for your summer wedding.
Regarding your concern about the boning: if you're worried there are too many, we suggest leaving the back without any. We can keep just 6 bones in total for the front and sides. What do you think?
5, Yes, hollow between the collarbones:)
Kind regards
Shirley
Hi Shirley,
The boning looks fine to me like that, thank you! I just want to be able to dance the night away in it and not having bones poking at me. π
Here's the measurement from hollow to hemline: 80cm
Thank you for reconfirming the design details and measurements. I have set up the quote for you on the right side of this page. You can now add it to your cart to proceed with the payment. Once confirmed, we will arrange for the factory to begin your custom production immediately, ensuring you receive the dress by mid-May.π
Thanks, Shirley, I just paid.
With a height of 1.65cm a hemline of 80cm from hollow seems fine, right? For a short party dress?
Thank you for the payment. Given your height of 165cm, a hollow-to-hem length of 80cm is definitely sufficient. It will provide a very elegant and balanced length for this design.π
Hi, we have reached the stage of adding the lace to your dress. Would you prefer the lace to be dense, similar to the inspiration photo, or more sparse, like the previous dress we made for you? Looking forward to your prompt reply.
We have finished your this short wedding dress. Our dressmaker added lace based on his professional experience, and the dress looks absolutely beautiful. πWe look forward to your reply soon. To ensure you receive it on time, we will arrange shipment if we do not hear back from you within 48 hours.
Hi Shirley,
Apologies, somehow it didn't notify me of your previous message but the dress looks absolutely fantastic!! Thank you all so much!
That sounds perfect, I can't wait to try it on.
Best,
Joëlle
No worries, we will arrange shipment for you tomorrow. πWe are really looking forward to you sharing your wedding photos with us after your big day. β€οΈ
Hi Shirley,
The dress just arrived and is absolutely BREATHTAKING, I am OBSESSED with it!
Thank you so so much, I will definitely post some pictures in the review afer the celebration – which is already so soon. π
Please extend my thanks also to the dressmaker and everyone else involved.
Have a great day,
Joëlle
