As a seamstress, I can definitely attest that $229 is a steal! Fabric alone, even very cheap fabric, would be at least $100 for a skirt that puffy! I like your design, but I do wish the skirt was a bit longer. I think most of us associate midi length with tea length, but they are in fact different. I think they gave you a true 1950s tea length. Overall, your design was so cute and very lirika mitoshi!

can you make this a series? this is so fun and they did so well! it would be funny to do like a roulette dress or like have your family members chose different parts of if!

Gorgeous! Just a heads up, a whole inch of wiggle room will mean that you’ll need to get your dress resized when it arrives. 1/4 of an inch for wiggle room will likely be all you need. ❤️

As a seamstress, this dress for ~$200 is *~chefs kiss~*. The seams for such a slippery fabric in the bodice and collar look perfect. And that they picked a soft tulle is more expensive but obviously made you really happy. They really did 👌🏽.

The dress is spot on to what you were looking for, I’m definitely impressed with how close it was to what you asked for with the price

They gave you exactly what you wanted. Honestly I'm not a person that wears green but wow. This is absolutely beautiful. Only a little over $200 is an amazing price. They definitely did amazing. Would love to see more custom dresses. One really extravagant.

Mia, there’s a British wedding dress designer called Sassi Holford - I think you’d totally love her designs! Whimsical and romantic, and so well made! 👰🏻‍♀️ 💒

wow this price is amazing for a fully self designed dress. Just imagine how many hours of work went into this. From getting the first draft and writing back and forth with the customer and then actually making the dress yourself. I absolutely love the idea of this website. And Mia you did a great job of designing too of course 😍😂

I love how the dress turned out, but I also think it would be really cool if she did this again but designed a wedding dress. She would have her own custom wedding dress and, of course, would look fantastic in it!!!

Past Mia not knowing that she'll be the one having her wedding next 😂🥰

That is beautiful! It looks exactly like what I pictured when you described your design! Tea length is about 4” below the knee, historically speaking. But modern standards make it longer…more mid to low shin. What a great deal! I would love to see you do this again! Maybe a wedding dress!

My jaw literally dropped when you put it on! Epic! They did an amazing job based on what you sent them. And frankly, I may have to steal the design for my own sewing at some point ;)

Design a wedding dress from them next!!!! This dress is adorable and they did a 100% amazing job with doing what you asked for. Amazing!

Mia: "First things first: height" Momma Maples: "Hi!!!" I love Momma M so much. She's so hilarious and pure. Always so happy just to be here.

I'm really impressed for how well it matched your request and still was just $200, you can spend that much easily in a store for a similar off the rack dress.

Mia you are not allowed to retire this dress. It is absolutely gorgeous! You look so cute and elegant all at once.

You’re right about it being too short for tea length. Tea length is like between calf and ankle.

As a seamstress, I absolutely love how it turned out! The quality of the work is great, but I wouldn't call the fabric quality great, at least not by just looking. Personally, I don't love shiny satin; it usually looks cheaper. Maybe that fabric texture was what you desired, though. I would just steer away from the shiny stuff. My advice to you or anyone considering this, go to your local fabric store and touch the fabrics. Take pic of the bolt ends so you know what kind of fabric to ask for.

Someone's probably already said this but I think it would be amazing to see you design a wedding dress using this service!! Wedding dresses can be suuuper expensive especially for custom designs, so i would be super curious to see what sort of wedding dress would be possible through this service and what the price and quality would be like xx

OMG!! This is such a cool idea. The dress you designed is gorgeous. It was a bit short for what I think a tea length would be but honestly looked great on you!! Have fun at your event.

My sister's wedding is coming up (hopefully) next October. This looks like a really neat way for the three of us bridesmaids to get the same colour dress (burgundy/wine red) but still get a dress that compliments our shapes and styles, since my sister said she doesn't want our dresses to be matching in style, only in colour (which is really cool considering the three of us are quite diverse in our body shapes lol). And the price seems super reasonable for a custom - I wouldn't normally spend over $100 on a dress off the rack, but for the amount of material and the quality and the hours of labour, it seems a very fair price! (Also, a tea-length is typically considered falling 3-4 inches below the knee OR as long as 3-4 inches above the ankle, so it does look like that one is a little short)

Omg love your dress and that you designed something unique and different! ❤️

Honestly I was worried when you were designing the dress as I just didn't understand the design (I knew what you were going for, but I couldn't understand why you were going for it) and I was worried that a green mesh would make skin look duller, but I was more than blown away by the finished dress. You look absolutely stunning in it! The collar doesn't feel weird at all and looks really sharp, especially with the ends of the sleeves tying it together. If I was a fan of mesh sleeves irl, I'd probably buy this dress!!

the price is so reasonable considering people spend $300+ on prom dresses, not even custom designed or tailored! And it looked stunning, just like what you asked for

It looks so cute!!! I totally agree too that $229 for a custom dress that you design is REALLY good!

Personally, the design would not be flattering on me, BUT it actually looks adorable on you!! And the company did an AMAZING job at making what you designed!! I really want to try this!!!

Oooo it's so green!!! It's like a St Patrick's day dress. I kinda wanna see more, pretty interested in trying this site out myself. Also I'm actually blown away, the dress was half as expensive as I thought it was gonna be.

It's GORGEOUS! Those sleeves! The skirt! The collar! Everything! Love love!!!!

It’s definitely shorter than tea length, but it looks great with that length. I think that price is really cheap for what you got. They did an amazing job and made exactly what you asked for.

I’d be super curious to see how they do with custom beading/embellishments, especially if the snaps seem to already be pulling after barely one use

It’s really beautiful and would really pop with your hair styled up or the sides back. That collar shouldn’t compete with your hair. Love it!!!

It's so pretty! You did a great job with your design, it's definitely "you" and adorable with the collar and mesh details - gorgeous too in that color especially. I think they hit the nail on the head with your design, photos, and sketch. Nice job all the way around. I think the price was great for a custom dress and would use the site myself!

This would be so fun for you to design your wedding dress as well. Personally when I get married, I want a more elaborate dress and every video I’ve seen from companies like this, the person does just a simple design. I would be interested to see a more elaborate design come to life from a company like this.

I love how it turned out! It’s different, but a good kind of different. Maybe try to design your ideal wedding dress next! 😉

Mia! That design is not random, it's fun it's classic, it's so pretty! I don't like how you were second-guessing your vision... I'd love a dress like that, any day. You did a great job. You're going to get so many compliments on it, you'll see. It's fun, it's classy, it's a great looking dress!

Mia! Thank you so much! It’s been over a year ago since I’ve had this app in my favorites hoping one day to use it. Now it’s finally time! I’m getting my dream wedding dress custom made. Mia really I couldn’t do this without you. If I hadn’t watched your video a year ago I would be so lost. I’m so ecstatic. I’m doing this!

I love the concept, and it’s kind of a perfect idea for a bridesmaids dress. I actually think the lilac and white combo in your mock-up would have been killer on you.

love the dress, Mia. For me, I would change the basic buttons into green pearl buttons just to add a little detail. But that's just me my preference. hehe.

When you were holding it I was like “oh idk about this one” but then you put it on and my jaw dropped!!! It’s SO cute!!!!!

That's so cool!!! I never thought about doing a custom dress and that price is not bad at all!!! I would've expected it to be much more, That dress is really pretty!! Love the color too.

the dress came out so good, Mia! I would definitely want to see more videos like this, but with more elaborate design with more elements like sequins 👀

I'm honestly so surprised with how it turned out ! That dress is simply beautiful and I would 100% wear it to a wedding :)

Mia!!! This dress is freaking adorable and suits you so well. The green is so different and fun. Goes well with your skin tone!

I just saw a show explaining tea length is a broad term bcuz it means below the knee/above ankle. To b more specific, the term Ballerina is used 4 dresses between mid calf and ankle, which is the lower zone of tea length. Keep designing! I hope this will be helpful for future projects.😊

Okay, I love this. The color, shear fabric, collar, and skirt volume it spot on. I do have two critiques. First is the buttons(snaps,) I'm not sure if you discussed this or not in the designing process but they are low quality and something more decorative would have suited the design better. You could easily fix the button issue by replacing the snaps with eyehooks, metal snaps or by adding actual buttons to the front whether they are ornamental or functunal. Second, you were right, the length is too short, it really should be another couple of inches longer to be tea length. That being said even though it's a touch short it still looks amazing on you. I adore a dress with sleeves, if I ever need a custom dress made I will definitely try this website out. I would love to see you do this again for another wedding maybe...

Mia!!! You should do a video where your mom and fiancé play “who knows Mia best”. I’m betting your mom does!!

i'd love to see this as a series!! it'd be so fun to watch. Also, the dress looks SO good. I would love a dress like that.

I'm in my last year of becoming a seamstress and a fashion designer and I learned that you should keep 2 fingers flat between body and measuring tape while measuring any kind of girth/ circumference so you can move the tape around, this will make sure you can move in the outfit and you won't feel squeezed in at the end. Also while measuring bust and waist make sure to take a deep breath (the measuring tape will loosen up a bit) and use that measure so you can breath in your outfit. And if you like a specific length, hold your tape at your waist (in the middle of your body, same line with your belly button) and let a friend or family member read it, because if you look down/ bend over to read the measure the tape will move downwards and the result will be shorter than expected. I hope this is a little bit helpful for everyone who orders custom dresses or outfits online. :) and for Mia, because the measuring could be a reason why her beautiful designed dress was a little too tight in the end.

I am OBSESSED with that color green. Everything I own is practically that color. That is ADORABLE. I may be biased because I love the color but that dress is so freaking cute. All of it.

MIA. You should do this for your wedding dress! You should go out and try on a ton, figure out the types of things u like, and have them make u a dress perfect for YOU!

You and they did a GREAT job!! The dress is gorgeous and you should definitely wear it to the wedding! Maybe with the next one do a pale blue with the mesh over the bodice and then a tea length skirt that goes from pale blue to a dark blue at the bottom. I would do a long sleeve with a neckline that goes just below your neck with a long mesh sleeve and with the back being only the mesh down to where it meets the skirt, but in a V shape (instead of the mesh covering the entire back. I would also have them add some blue crystals not only on the top layer of the mesh skirt, but also on the 2nd layer of mesh. 😀 That would be my dream dress!

It is spot on! Perfect to what you wanted. If it were mine i think the only thing i would change would be the thule skirt, I would want it to be the same fabric as the top. Everything else, the color, the lenght, just everything else would be the same for me. I like it a lot!

You should do another one but have your subscribers vote on each aspect of the dress through Instagram polls so we can kind of design a dress together

The poofiness makes the hem fall a bit higher than you'd expect. This is where just providing measurements and not being there in person for a consult canbe problematic. For formal dresses if you want to shorten the hem without chopping it off (e.g. it's a wedding dress that you want to hand down to your daughter but she might grow up taller than you) the most common method to "raise" the hem is to add ruffles or a crinoline under the dress if the design permits. If you want to lengthen the hem of a poofy dress but have no matching fabric to add to the dress you remove some of the poof.

I actually really love that dress! Reminds me of the dresses from the 50's and 60's. That green was actually the color or close to the color of my Bridesmaids dresses.

I was looking into doing this for my wedding dress but I was skeptical on how well it would turn out. This is spot on for what you told them.

In the beginning of every video she says it’s going to be an exciting video... she’s always right

I honestly absolutely adore this dress. You did a great job designing, and they did an awesome job making it. Absolutely gorgeous

You should do a wedding dress on based off what you are looking for in a wedding dress. I watch your wedding dress shopping video and how you were trying to add sleeves and changing up the top and bottoms to match what you imagined. Designing a wedding dress with this website to see if you could built your own and see your inspiration that your thinking of :) (obviously doesn’t need to be your actual wedding dress)

Love the new camera focus/lighting/ in the new studio. Good background setting!

Honestly, the result is super cute! It's exactly what you ordered and looks great, albeit maybe a bit short. But it's not a big issue, it's still really nice looking. I would love to see something elaborate from this brand, like something with appliques like sequins or rhinestones. I wonder how they'd go about making that and if it'd be really expensive. Just curious, really. Either way, the dress looks nice and isn't really that expensive for a custom design!

Why is this kind of content really excites me and I want mooooore! PLEASE! It's so fun and so exciting to watch. ❤❤❤

I got ads for sumissura for such a long time about a custom pantsuit, would love to see your review of them! This is such a cute dress for Christmas

I feel like this dress fits you so well, not just the way it looks but also personality wise? I love it!

The dress has “work zoom meeting at 2pm and Christmas ball at 8pm” vibes 😂 Love it though!!

Mia!! It looks amazing !! 😍🥰 you're gonna look so good at the wedding ! And you can have fun dancing in it

Your dress is amazing! I love it! Fantastic design choice which was well executed (especially from an amateur sketch)!

The dress is so beautiful! One thing that might make it cuter depending on your taste is to add decorative buttons to the strip of fabric under the collar. Personally I feel like pearls would be cute.

Honestly, the price is not bad at all when you think about the process to make it! And it came out looking amazing!!

It's so cool!!!! You look amazing in that type of green. So beautiful

Tea length is right below the knees. This really looks spot on. And OMG its gorgeous Mia!

I feel like this could be a good site for designing an actual wedding dress. 😍

That would be an amazing Christmas party dress. It's adorable.

OMg I loooooove it , the design is too cute, I love the length... I don't know what tea length is but it looks great! If you could do this more Please Do!!!

Okay, Mia, it is so nice the only thing it’s missing is a little bit of detailing on the top!!!

This is so cool!! I’d never heard of this brand before! I’d love to see you design something a little more detailed/fancy like a wedding dress. I’m also interested to know how the dress you design effects the price. Like, would this be a good way to have a unique and fairly inexpensive wedding dress that’s good quality? Thank you for sharing Mia! ❤️❤️❤️

The dress looks so cool! You should totally test out more websites where you can design your own dress and do to some more complicated designs too! 😉 Honestly this would be so cool for designing your own wedding dress. Kinda fun :D

I like your design 😍 but if it was me I would have it in a lilac and the skirt an little less poofy and a bit longer ( tea length is a bit longer from what you got by the way) because purple REALLY suits you! Overall its lovely but if I was to choose a green for you I'd go a bit darker like a forest green or emerald green? X

it's one of ma favorite videos honestly, u should make one every now and then

MIA!!! This is honestly one of my favorite dresses you’ve shown on your channel and you designed it! It’s unique and quite flattering with an unconventional color choice. I would love to see more dress designs!

I’d like to see how they’d do a wedding dress but I guess we’ll have to wait until after her wedding now!

Omg this dress came out so cute !!! the top part is by far my favorite!!! ♥️

Thank you so much Mia! Getting the perfect dress for a good price is so hard, now I know where I will be getting my wedding dress from, as my idea is so specific that it would be hard to find a dress that fits all my wishes! And they ship worldwide for free if it's over 149$ I think! I am so happyyyyyy

They did a great job based on what you sent and described. The length is definitely questionable as a "tea" length, it should be a bit longer. The picture of the dress's topv overlay seemed a bit more softer and less structured than how yours came out Cute style none the less.

I LOVE the design. I don't think I've ever seen these elements together before, but they definitely work. Beautiful!!

The dress looks so cute! I really love the unique design you came up with! and they did a great job!

I love the dress! I'd instantly wear them to anywhere I'd go, the colour is my favourite and the style is beautiful, you designed it really well Mia.

Oh my goodness, I started the chapter of Doctors without Borders at my university in undergrad and it's so cool to see that you're donating to it in this video! It's truly an amazing organization and I wish more people knew about it!

It looks great, what the heck! They made it exact to the style and design you wanted and yes, you should always give yourself extra allowance for fitting because we fluctuate. I'd be interested in working with them for a dress although I don't know how well dresses suit my short stature 😂

Absolutely stunning! Such a unique dress. I love the color, the mesh, and the collar! I love everything about it.

That dress is so cute! I think the length is right even though it may not be tea length. You look great in it 👏

I’d love to see this again! Definitely a longer version where we get to see the design process and submitting the design!! And one where instagram helps pick the design!!

I LOVE the design of this!! The wedding dress I fell in love with has a collar and pockets. This dress is gorgeous! 😍

thanks for donating to Doctors Without Borders, it's a really valid organisation (and really famous too, they do tons of stuff!)

It looks like they have your dress on the website now! 😍✨ At least it looks like the same dress to my eyes! 👀 It’s called: Shirt Collar Green Satin Tulle Tea-length Cocktail Dress. It’s in the cocktail dress section of the website ✨

The dress Mia designed is absolutely stunning. Would love to see more designer dresses

They did a really good job and I think they captured your exact image... I think that you'd like it more in a lighter color like a sage green or even that pastel purple since the concept is a little "out there" for you but overall amazing job and a good price for something entirely customized.

One thing to judge when ordering or buying a piece is how the seams in the bust dont pucker.. in ur dress the seams on the princess bust line fall impeccably flat and dont pucker at the joint of mesh and satin.. that's good quality work.. the collar points look nice and pointy.. quality work.. worth the money

This color looks so good on you!!😍 i love your design aswelll

Please do a part 2!!!😀 I love these kinds of videos
