         “I just wanted to send you all some pictures and say thank you again. Your shop was recommended to me by Lainie and I couldn’t have been happier. You were the one and only shop I went to for my gown and I picked it out on my first time visiting you all. I live in Fort Lauderdale and let me say, the 50+ minute drive down to Coral Gables was worth it every time. Marta was amazing. She let me pick dresses that I thought I’d like as well as she picked out ones she thought would look good on me. I felt sexy and beautiful all in one gown, thanks to you all and EVERYONE at your shop. The seamstress made the dress fit me like a glove when I came back after losing 15 lbs.
         &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
         At our reception, one of my husband’s friends asked if his wife could borrow my dress because it was so awesome it made him want to marry his wife all over again. I felt like a million bucks getting such a compliment from a guy, no less! 
         &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
         Seriously, you girls are all amazing at what you do. I have told every single engaged person I know to go to your shop. If my husband and I renew our vows in the future, I will be sure to come visit you all again. Thank you times a million!!! You girls are amazing.

      <title>Adding Custom Long Sleeves to a Wedding Dress</title>

         When bride Jasmin came to us she had a very clear vision of what she wanted her dream dress to be like; she wanted something modern, bold, couture, and if at all possible, with a detachable overskirt. The only stipulation for this modern bride, however, was that her faith and culture required her to stick to certain traits for modesty, and for her that meant that long sleeves and a higher neckline were mandatory.
         &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
         Tricky, but definitely not our first rodeo!
         &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
         After shopping with us on two different occasions we found a dress which checked off all the things she wanted in her dress, as Butterfly by Crystal Design is a figure-hugging, beaded lace beauty with a large, dramatic detachable overskirt. But Butterfly would never get Mom’s seal of approval with her sheer, illusion neckline, unlined bodice, and short cap sleeves.
         &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
         We discussed the modifications we could do to the dress with them both; apart from ordering Butterfly in ivory, we confirmed that we could absolutely build up the neckline, add long sleeves, and line the dress fully to get rid of any sheer portions along the bodice. With Mom’s objections neutralized she gave her support and Jasmin was able to say “yes!” to her dream, custom gown. 
         &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
         Fast-forward a few months and we began work on her new ivory Butterfly sample. Our experienced seamstress, Ana, began by trying the dress on Jasmin and discussing exactly what Jasmin wanted her dress to look like in the end, down to the placement of the appliques individually.  Below, you’ll be able to see how we transformed her dress from this off-the-shoulder illusion gown…
        &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
         Into her perfect long-sleeve, modest-neckline ivory beauty that she absolutely ROCKED on her wedding day!
        &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/86af566a/dms3rep/multi/modest-long-sleeve-dress-1024x694.png" alt="A bride in a white, long-sleeved wedding dress and veil holds a bouquet. The dress hangs on a mannequin." title=""/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
         The first step was to deconstruct the original illusion neckline and begin laying down the base for her sleeves, which was a matching ivory fabric with a little stretch so she would be comfortable and able to move her arms without restrictions. Once the foundation was built for both the neckline, the back, and both sleeves it was just a matter of applying the lace and tweaking the fit until it was absolutely perfectly tailored to Jasmin.

         The results were seamless and amazing! You would never know that this dress never came with this sleeves from the designer, and that’s exactly what Jasmin wanted and what we were able to achieve.
