My art in real life

It's something amazing a special when you get to experience your ideas first hand. It's even better when you can find the right people to make it come to life. Lunss did this for me, especially Shirley. I'm glad she was able to work with me on my designs and tweak things I wasn't happy with. The dress fit nicely when I put it on and I know I will be making more dresses in the future.

This dress is an off the shoulder, v-dip, black asymmetrical cocktail dress with a removable black sheer skirt. The dress has green floral aplique embroidery with hints of raspberry color near the center of the flowers. The sheer skirt has matching apliques embroidery along the front opening of the skirt and near the bottom edge. The sleeves of the dress are shortz sheer and flows, not puffy. Made of similar material as the removable skirt.

Hello, I have designed this dress and in my drawing I forgot to include hidden pockets into the design as well. Please note sleek, hidden pockets for design as well. Also, fabric of cocktail dress I would like to be firm with good structure, but still a little stretchy so it fits to my form well.

Okay! I like the the sleeves. Tulle is a good option for detachable over skirt. I agree that spandex is probably a good choice. I choose #5 applique choice. Where should lost my measurements?

This message is fine for list of measurements?

avatar - Shirley

Hello

Thank you for your quick response.

Black tulle, spandex, and #5 lace applique, all noted!

mceclip0

As to the bottom skirt, could you confirm if the sketch of the legs represents a sheer tulle skirt connected to an irregular skirt? Or does it represent an overskirt?

mceclip1

You can send us your measurements in any format you prefer, as long as the details are clear.

Best regards

Shirley

*Forgive me if I'm a little off. I did these measurements by myself.

For clarification around the legs, the sketch around the legs represents part of the over skirt.

Oh and zipper back is my preference. Thank you

avatar - Shirley

Hello

Thank you for providing us with your custom measurements. They look great!

Invisiblack back, noted!

Please confirm the bottom skirt is like this picture:

mceclip1

And which overskirt do you prefer?

mceclip2

The difference is the placement of the tulle at the waist. Do you want the skirt to be gathered more towards the center, or would you prefer it to sit on the sides of the hips?

Also, just to confirm, is the tulle fixed to the dress and not detachable?

Waiting for your reply.

Best regards

Shirley

For the skirt: the shape is a bit off. The asymmetry should be a bit more dramatic, and the cut on the blue skirt is too straight when it should be more curved like the picture. Resembling a sort of flower petal. Like a sharp tulip.

I like style 3 for the tulle, but a bit thinner and delicate. Not so thick amd heavy looking.

Lastly, the over skirt should be detachable to give the choice of having cocktail look or formal look. A 2 in 1 look. Do not permanently fix tulle over skirt to dress, please.

avatar - Shirley

mceclip0

Okay, we will make the overskirt detachable, not too thick.

mceclip1

How about the right bottom skirt?

Or you can send me some real skirt pictures for reference.

avatar - MikkaBarnes

Yea. The right bottom skirt is more accurate. Thank you.

Hi. I was also wondering if there was a way to make it where the dress accentuates the curve in my waist a bit more. I have a natural hourglass shape but the curve isn't that dramatic. I wondering if there is just a way to make the dress make my waist look a bit smaller compared to my hips. Like how a corset does except within the dress. I'm not sure how that is to be done, but if you have any ideas, please let me know.

avatar - Shirley

Hello

We usually add invisible boning to the dress to provide more support and cinch the waist. However, we recommend a lace-up back because it will be easier for you to adjust the fit yourself once you receive it.

What do you think?

My only concern is that it will be more difficult to put on and take off with the lacing.

Since the material is spandex it won't be too difficult to take off and tighten?

A dress with a lace-up back might require a friend to help you with the ties.😊 If that seems like too much trouble, you could choose one with a zipper back instead. Yes, the dress has some stretch.

avatar - MikkaBarnes

The zipper back is better for me. I don't have anyone to help me lace it up.

avatar - Shirley

Okay, I see:) We will make a zipper back for your dress. We will contact you to get your confirmation before we sew the lace onto the dress.

avatar - MikkaBarnes

Okay. Thank you

Could I confirm the sleeve details with you? The cuffs have elastic, right?And the overall design is a puff sleeve?

avatar - MikkaBarnes

I was thinking something more drapey like this, but off the shoulder and a bit longer.

Screenshot_20250913_072857_Pinterest

The off the shoulder part kind of like this except not so wide and a lite less poofy.

I would like it to look more delicate and drapey with a curve. The off the shoulder part should not look so stiff and more like it's draping and laying delicately on the form, like my design.

avatar - Shirley

Hello

mceclip0

Is this the sleeve combination you'd like? However, for the short sleeves below, we might need to make them as separate pieces that go over your arms. If we sew them together with the off-shoulder straps, it might affect the overall look.

Kind regards

Shirley

avatar - MikkaBarnes

Yes that is the sleeve combination, please. It's okay with what you have to do. We'll get as close to the look as possible.

avatar - Shirley

Okay!! 😊

Hello

mceclip0

Based on the design you requested and the specific measurements you provided, we have created a mock-up. Please review the images I sent above(we will add pleated detail later).

Due to the practicalities of physical tailoring and cutting, we need to connect the sleeves and neckline in this specific manner. Therefore, there may be a slight difference compared to the sketch; we appreciate your understanding. If you accept this design, we will immediately begin cutting the actual fabric to produce your dress.

Best regards

Shirley

Hello. The top is good. Can you make the dress pieces longer. The dress seems too short where it might not cover the private areas. I would like more coverage. Also I would like to have the asymmetry a bit more dramatic. I tried to draw it our with the picture, but even a bit longer than my image.

avatar - Shirley

We cut the dress according to the hollow to short hemline and long hemline measurements you provided. If you feel this length is too short, we can add some length for you, just as shown in your new sketch. Would that be acceptable?

avatar - MikkaBarnes

Yes, please. If you could add some length and make the asymmetry more dramatic. Everything else is good. Thank you.

avatar - Shirley

Understood. We will ensure the seamstress extends the length of the bottom skirt to provide additional coverage, and also makes the asymmetry on the sides more dramatic. We appreciate your confidence in us.
