Initial Idea
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 -

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)

I want the dress to look exactly like the first two pictures with a split like the 3rd picture, the train to be as long as picture 4 and the top back to look like the 5th picture. Color all white made for a dark skinned woman, see through, no colored lace or sheer.

I was skeptical because I had another company overseas make this dress before and it was terrible. But they did a awesome job with my wedding dress.
It was really hard to find my dress anywhere and I don't like the traditional styles. So I had this dress i wanted so bad and I sent them pictures and told them the custom changes I wanted and it is gorgeous and they got the size perfect and I didn't even have to try it on or have them measure me first before making it.
I have also been trying to lose weight and I gave them my measurements before I did and told them I wanted the dress to be fitted to me like a glove and omg it does. I still have space to lose weight in my hips and I can have it altered slightly in, a little once I get to my goal weight. It fits snug like I said.
It's perfect. The actual pattern is different than the dress I originally sent but that's because they aren't the actual dress designers but it still came out beautifully.
I have pictures of me trying it on and I will definitely add the pictures from my wedding day when it happens.
I'm so pumped. I'm going to have them make my daughters flower girl dresses and my reception dress as well and maybe my bridesmaid dresses as well.
It turned out perfect the reviews on this site are real. I am a real woman who didn't have thousands of dollars to spend on a dress and if that's you this is the place. They were nice, asked questions and made sure they had the right ideas to match your dreams. Now I'm going to dream up my reception dress and order that and my flower girl dresses from them.

Hello,
Can I get a quote for a custom dress? #1 - is the fabric style but with light grey /silver or white underneath instead of the peach color. I love how thick the bottom hem is and the length of the dress. #2 - is the same dress just another example, I love the bottom and how it drapes and the fullness of it. #3 - is how I'd like the top to look but with the other fabric. V-neck not too high but not too low. I want the bottom to start directly under the bust line. With 3/4 length sleeves but I have slightly shorter arms. The whole dress lined with the same fabric as the lower half under the silver. The back high, all the way to my neckline. Size 26 or custom to my measurements if possible. I am 5/4 with a 58in bust. My wedding is in Sept. so I was hoping to get the dress by August if possible. I appreciate your assistance and look forward to hearing back from you. -

I wanted to take a quick minute to review the dress I had made for my wedding. I was super nervous about being a larger woman and not being able to try anything on but it was absolutely perfect! Not only was the process super easy, but the dress also turned out gorgeous!! I couldn't have been happier!! Thank you

Initial Idea
A little less tulle, cut off fourth row of tulle at the bottom, longer rows, boning in the top, more open back, and no bow at the back (but ribbon to tie up back is fine!!). Thank you!!

Photo#1 This is the dress that I would like to have made. Complete with the rhinestone or crystal embellishment & especially the feathers!
Photo#2 I would like for the sweetheart bust to come higher into the armpit area like this ( I have a large chest ). I also like the shape of this dress as well. It has less defined pleats which is fine.
Photo#3 This is the color I want. A light baby/sky blue -

This dress was gorgeous!! I didn't realize that I never did a review last year, but we are back again for Sr Prom. She got so many compliments about her dress. It actually looks better than the inspiration pic we submitted. We're looking for LUNSS to do it again!!

Initial Idea
Hello! I would like a formal evening gown custom-made in the style of the vintage pictures I have included for reference, and my illustration. The color would be a dark midnight blue in a silk or satin-like material with a sheen. The length should be ankle length so that I can walk freely.
If possible, I would like weights to be placed along the bottom hem so that the dress falls nicely. I would also like the front to be padded with bra cups. No slit and no rhinestone embellishment. A hidden side zipper is preferable.
Measurements:
Back shoulder width: 15.5 inches
Bust: 32 inches
Under bust: 28.5 inches
Mid-shoulder to bust point: 8.5 inches
Waist: 27 inches
Hips: 36 inches
Height: 64 inches
Hollow to hem: 51 inches
Arm circumference: 10.5
Armscye: 15 inches -

The dress came out absolutely fantastic after taking some time with Tansy to make adjustments to my liking. Very pleased with the color chosen and the sheen of the fabric. The worksmanship has shown me that this dress will be durable! I am very pleased with Lunss Couture and plan to work on another custom dress with them in the future. :)

Hi,
Ever since I've seen the dress in photo number 6, I've been OBSESSED with it and finally learned she had it made with you guys. One of your customer service representatives emailed me back with a link to check out other gowns made by your team and after seeing them, I've selected these. I'll go one by one and explain what I'm looking for
1) Red is my favorite color and I'm thinking I can't go wrong with a red dress. I'm about the same complexion as the lady in photo 6 for reference.
2) I like the fullness of the bottom of this dress and I hope that the one I get can still be full if I have it designed as the bottom of the dress in Pic 6.
3) I love everything about the bodice of this dress but instead of blue, light blue and white, it'll be either green, light green and white or red, light red (not pink) and white.
4) I love how high the back goes on this dress. I'm plus sized so the height of the back of this dress helps conceal some areas. I also prefer a zipper closure with hook at the top for extra security.
5) I also love the over the shoulder element.
6) The dress that started it all. Again, Ms. Dauphine is more slender than I so I don't know if her exact design will work (especially since I have a large bust -- I'm not sure if there'sa built-in bra or how large you'dbe able to make it if there is). The skirt on this gown is gorgeous, though, and I'd love to have that.
7) I've been told I look nice in green so I added this solely because it's green. I'm torn between red and green but I'm leaning towards red.
8) The length of the back of the skirt of this dress is nice.
Tulle is the preferred fabric but it rains a lot in England so I hope that won't be a problem.
I must also add I'm VERY nervous about this. I own three dresses and I've only ever worn one of them, and that was three years ago. Also, all of this is done online so there's no brick and mortar store for me to go to if something is amiss. Fingers crossed this will be a very pleasant experience with a beautiful result. -

Review
I was soooooo nervous about ordering a custom made dress online from a place thousand of miles away. So nervous, in fact, that I paid for a sketch, went to a local tailor for measurements and ordered a mock-up dress. The dress fit perfectly, and even my tailor was impressed. I haven't gotten married yet so I don't have fancy pics of the dress, but I'll add them once I have some.
Some tips that may make the process easier:
1) If possible, go to a professional tailor. I went and had her take the measurements requested from Tansy.
2) Get a sketch (or draw one if you have the talent) if going custom. It's easier to help your designer make the changes necessary before the garment is constructed.
3) Be very open, clear and SPECIFIC about what you have in mind. Tansy was great with communication and we had many chats about what I wanted. Don't feel like you're being annoying in asking a bunch of questions about what you're paying for.
4) Again, if possible, purchase a mock-up or toile. This will be the dry run for the actual dress where they use scrap fabric to stitch a dress together to make sure the measurements are accurate. While the measurements were accurate, there were a couple of things my tailor and I thought would make the dress fit my body shape a little better, so I sent the mock-up back with the tailor's notes. I'm glad I did.
The only suggestion I'd make to Lunss is to have customers choose how the garment will be delivered. It came very tightly packed up into a ball, almost, and you'll have to be super careful when opening the package; the wrinkles came out eventually. If there was an option I would have paid more for the manner of shipping, i.e. in a box, instead of a ball of dress.
Finally, a MASSIVE shout out to Tansy. She was great and patient, and her guidance and advice made me feel more relaxed about this whole process.
