I wore the Catalan dress, with customizations to the color and neckline. Chrissy made the dress of my dreams - what a joy to finally be able to wear it on my big day! It was all-ar...
ound gorgeous, and I had guests coming up to me all night to tell me they'd never seen anything like it and that it was stunning.
Chrissy made my wedding dress, and she did an AMAZING job. The process was easy - I booked an appointment and tried on sample dresses to figure out a style I wanted. Chrissy then c...
reated the dress from scratch, with customizations and specific colors I requested. Chrissy is very nice and a joy to work with, and I got many compliments on my unique and beautiful dress. Highly recommend Chrissy and Wai-Ching St
P.s. in addition to gorgeous, high-quality dresses, she also makes amazing silk face masks.
Chrissy is wonderful to work with and her dresses are works of art! Trying on dresses in her studio was so much fun (they're all so beautiful!), and the ability to customize detail...
s of the dress and ensemble made it extra special. She communicated well, was easy to work with, and had everything done in plenty of time even though I contacted her only a couple of months before the wedding. I loved having a one-of-a-kind dress that felt so much like me, and also loved supporting a true artist.
Chrissy is a true artist! She designed two items for our wedding: my skirt (a custom design) and my wife’s dress (a modified Esther dress). Early on, we both tried on traditional...
white wedding gowns, and they just never felt right. We visited Chrissy’s cheerful, eclectic Seattle studio, which was full of sample gowns and fabric swatches for us to check out. It became clear that her designs were the right choice for both of us. Chrissy communicated well in person and by email. We both asked for multiple alterations, and she was thoroughly accommodating of our requests. The results (hand-dyed silk, comfortable fits, exquisite craftsmanship) were beyond anything we’d imagined! When we put on our clothes the morning of our wedding, we felt so beautiful and authentically “us”. It was truly special to think that no one had ever worn something quite like our skirt and dress before. We cannot recommend Wai-Ching Studio highly enough!
Chrissy crafted a dress for me that far exceeded my expectations. After exploring the styles on her website, I went to her studio to try on styles similar to the ones I liked from ...
her hundreds of samples. We then pieced together a custom dress from individual components and colors I chose from several samples. She made each detail custom: the types and tones of fabric in each panel, the start and end shades of dip dye, neckline and sleeve style, corset backing style, and much more. She even made a bow tie and cummerbund for my fiance that matched the silk pieces on the front panel of my dress. My only advice is to confirm each of your measurements with her; she took my measurements while I was in studio, but the sleeves were 2 inches too long and the dress was 4 inches too long, which she kindly fixed quickly for no charge. I got an incredible amount of compliments about my dress, and it was still cheaper than a similar quality off-the-rack noncustom dress!
I know every bride thinks this, but I had the most beautiful dress in the world. Chrissy personally designs your dress if you go the custom route, and you will not be sorry. They a...
re unique and just lovely. I still have guests come up and tell me how much the loved it!
Also, Chrissy was a dream to work with. When I had to return my dress as the colors were not quite what I was expecting, she took it back happily and altered free of charge. She also adjusted the sizing as it was a bit too big initially. I was very nervous about having to send it back (I got it one month before the wedding) but she had it shipped so I had the dress a week before the wedding (She is in WA, I'm in UT). Perfect!
If you're looking for a unique dress, you won't be sorry.
My dip-dye wedding dress was such a great fit for our wedding, and I got so many compliments on how "me" it was... All of Chrissy's designs are beautiful, and she worked with me to...
get the exact style and coloring I wanted... This dress was so fun, and worked beautifully with the spectrum of colors in my bridesmaid dresses.
I did a lot of research about ethical wedding dresses... and to ensure that your dress is not coming from sweatshop labor or harmful materials, you usually have to shell out a lot more.
Chrissy made both of our wedding dresses - we flew out to Seattle in March 2011 to meet with her and get measured and pin down the specifics. We got the dresses in July 2011 for ou...
r wedding in September 2011. They needed minor alterations, which is to be expected with a custom piece. The dresses were absolutely gorgeous - completely handmade and one of a kind. They were super light and perfect for our hot weather wedding. I would have liked a little more communication in the way of updates between March and July, but I tend to prefer updates in general. I would highly recommend Chrissy's work - it's beautiful and such an incredible value - a work of art really.
I was so impressed with the website, that I decided to go with Chrissy, before even meeting or emailing her. I wanted a dress which wasn't the typical wedding dress - something sp...
ecial I wasn't throwing money away just to wear once. The website has so many choices and it was difficult to narrow it down to just a few. After contacting Chrissy via email and speaking once over the phone, I decided to go in and try some dresses on.
I took my college-aged daughter with me - because I knew she would give me an honest opinion. I tried on the ones I really liked on the Internet, they were pretty yet didn't suit my simple style. I tried on ones which I thought were nice - the blue yowying - my daughter thought was pretty on me and when I tried on another color, she felt it was the dress to get.
Trusting her judgment, Chrissy took my measurements and told me to think about the colors and style I liked. A few months later, I contacted Chrissy and told her what I wanted. Within a few months, it was ready for my first fitting, I took my bridal party and a friend with me (my daughter was in class and couldn't go).
After trying the dress on and coming out of the dressing room, the ladies smiled and oohh/ahh. They thought the dress looked stunning on me. I was very happy.
I am so thankful. It has been such a beautiful and rewarding experience, the compliments I received from my hubby, my parents and all our friends of the dress I picked was amazing.
