Hundreds of crystal strands, hand-set onto the body of the dress over seven working days, for a bride in the United States.
Seven days for the beading alone
Hundreds of crystal strands were set onto the body of the dress, and it took seven days of continuous work. This is the part that cannot be shortened: set them quickly and they sit unevenly, and the moment the bride walks under the lights, the thick patches and the thin ones show.
Made to measure, entirely online
The bride lives in the United States, so everything was done through messages and video calls. LAM’S sent an illustrated measuring guide, measured together with her on screen, drafted a pattern from those measurements and sewed to them — nothing taken from a stock block.
Before it was packed
When the dress was finished, LAM’S photographed it unretouched and sent the pictures for her to see before packing. It was folded in layers, padded against creasing, wrapped against moisture, and she had a tracking number for the journey.
Why the crystals cannot be rushed
Work like this is one reason we do not take rush orders for brides abroad; the schedule is counted back from the wedding date. The pattern is cut for your measurements alone, never from a stock shape, and the dress is sewn exactly to them with no extra fabric left for later alterations — which is why measuring is the most important step. When the dress is finished, before it is packed, we photograph it and send you those pictures: the finished dress, not stages of production. It is folded in layers with anti-crease padding, wrapped against moisture and sent with a carrier chosen for that route, with a tracking number.
