Bridal Case · 001
Krystal came to us from the USA with a Le Spose di Giò dress as inspiration, looking for a custom version with Mikado silk bands, sheer tulle draping, a tiered skirt, and a buttoned back. We made it in Vietnam, reviewed it with her on video, then shipped it to the USA.
01
Bride Vision
On 8 April 2026 Krystal wrote from the USA: could we make a custom dress from her photos? The photos were of a draped look in the direction of a Le Spose di Giò Spring 2026 gown. We used them as a brief and made a VI Dressmakers custom dress — not the designer original.
The hard part was the top. It had to look sheer like the reference, without going too thin at the waist and hip. The Mikado bands had to stay crisp against the tulle tiers.
”I want to ask about a custom dress if it would be possible.”
02
Design Direction
The first message already had two dress photos. That was enough for one working sketch: sleeveless illusion neckline, a band at the bodice, drape at the waist, buttons and a keyhole at the back, tulle and Mikado tiers on the skirt. Krystal asked for Mikado silk in the same chat. Vi confirmed it, then we ordered.
03
Process
8 April 2026
Krystal sent the photos and asked if a custom version was possible.
Fabric
Mikado silk confirmed on WhatsApp, then ordered with tulle for the drape.
During making
We sent photos on WhatsApp while the drape and skirt were still on the form. She asked to straighten the top sides, make the top drape thinner and more see-through, and keep two layers around the middle and hip.
12 June 2026
We sent a video of the finished dress. After she wrote that it looked perfect, we packed one 2kg FedEx parcel for the USA.
30 June 2026
She wrote that it arrived in the mail.
