Party Time in the Factory

This time taking our usual walk in the factory feels like it is a party time. There seems to be many party dresses, homecoming dresses, club dress and cocktail dresses being made. Perhaps it is due to the cup day and horse races events that usually appear around in Spring. Likely it is due to the end of the year coming and every one is getting ready to welcome the New Year looking their best.

Party style dresses generally have many embellishments adorned on the dress to add the glitter and effects onto the dress. These are all all hand sown on and no doubt it is a time consuming process. Each dress looks is artistic in its own way. It is definitely exciting to watch the adornments being added onto the dress and seeing the dresses slowly transformed into a stunning dress.

This is a Party Dress made where the customer wanted it in this special peachy colour. The truth be told this dress looks good in any colour. From the greens to the oranges all the way to the reds, purples and yellows.

The customer who order this dress requested for special attention around the bust line and the waist line as she wanted a comfortable fit and to highlight the curve varations from the bust line to the waist line.

This dress is nearly completed and probably would be finished by the next day. Later this dress will be passed onto the quality control team to inspect the dress along with the order and ensure that it has met the dressOfLOVE standards. From there it will be shipped to the customer.

Buying Dresses Online using Cash Payments

Some customers have contacted us stating that they do not have Credit Cards or a Debit Card linked online to make purchases from the dressOfLOVE online store. And would like an alternative form to purchase dresses online.

As a result of this we have added a new payment method from our online store which is Western Union. This means that you have an option to pay for dresses without the need to have a Credit Card or Debit Card linked online for making purchases. Western Union is the easy way to send cash money form and supports a wide range of currencies and countries. In addition

Western Union also allows payments to be sent online through their website or alternatively via one of the many Western Union store outlets. This makes it convenient to send money if you do not have a Credit Card or Debit Card for purchases online.

Currently our online store supports multiple payment forms (in which you can select your preferred payment method upon checkout) which are:

1. Payments via Credit Card payments (via PayPal).
2. eCheques (via PayPal).
3. Directly from your bank account (account linked with PayPal).
4. PayPal funds. 
5. Wire Transfer to our bank account.
6. Cash & Wire Transfers via Western Union.

Let's take a Factory Walk!

As mentioned in our earlier blog post - we mentioned that we would write more blog posts featuring factory visits. After all it is one way for us to show case some of our products and show you what we have been doing.

It is always exciting seeing the process of products being custom made from the sourcing of the materials, seeing material being cut and then turned into the finished product.

What caught our attention today was this beautiful delicate Veil being made. This one caught our attention because of the lovely flowers being added onto the Veil. It was simple but the effect was impressive. We had to stop and take a closer look.

The flowers were being hand stitched onto the the Veil and great care was taken in order not to damage the Veil itself in the process. In this Veil the flowers were added in clusters of threes.

In general adornments onto Veils is not uncommon and it is a matter of personal preference as to what adornments should be used onto a Veil. Usually Veil adornments are subtle and chosen in such a way to complement the Wedding dress itself. 

This Veil was white in colour and has a borders to enhance the visual effects and highlighting where the Veil ends. This type of Veil comes in the choice of White or Ivory.

We wanted to stay longer to admire the Veil. However, the worker wanted to finish the Veil before lunch so we left the dress maker to complete the Veil.

Stay tuned for another factory visit soon...

We Listen to Customer Feedback

We are excited to write this article because it is a direct result of feedback that we have received over last month. It seems several visitors have suggested different ideas which are broken down into the following:

1. Show which items have free shipping. 
2. Have requested where the reviews or customer testimonials are located for viewing.
3. Asked us to clearly show which items are on discount or currently have a sale on. 

Your Feedback 
We have taken all the feedback suggested and  as a result have updated the way dressOfLOVE presents the information. In doing this we aim to make it easier to quickly source all the information easily.

Changes to the information presented is as follows:

1. Shipping:
   All items that have free shipping or free postage will have a green airplane displayed in the bottom right corner of the product listing. Be sure to read the dressOfLOVE terms and conditions on free shipping and free postage.
2. Reviews / Testimonials:
   We do not have a website page dedicated to customer reviews or customer testimonials. Instead we have opted that the reviews and customer testimonials should be attached to the product itself.
3. Discount / On Sale:
   All items "On Sale" will have the words written "On Sale!" before the price of the item. In addition the actual discount percentage will be shown in a red circle on the top right hand corner. This allows you to easily determine what the savings are during the sale period. After the sale period ends the price will revert to the usual price. We've had additional suggestions that we should clearly show how long the sale is in effect for and when it ends. We are currently working on this feature and hope to have an update in the near future.

Random Dress in the Factory

Let's face it. Taking a daily walk into the factory can be exciting. The buzz of seeing the dresses being made and materialising directly from the fabric, being cut, all the way to the to the end product. It is an exciting process. No doubt about it.

Today we have taken a random photo on one dress that we walked past because this dress caught our attention with the beautiful applique being added to the dress. It is a time consuming process to add the applique but it is an important step as this transforms a dress from a simple and plain in style to something that is stunningly elegant.

This is a Wedding Dress made using a Satin fabric. The customer wanted the Wedding Dress to be made in the colour Silver. Whilist this dress looks good in White, Ivory and Champagne colours. Other colours for this dress design is possible although much rare to see customers requesting for the unusual colours such as various pink colours.

The customer who ordered this requested specific alterations to be made for perfect fit around the hip area. Care has been taken to ensure that the customer's request has been met.

The dress will be completed over the next day and passed onto the quality control team to inspect the dress along with the order to ensure that the dress satisfies the dressOfLOVE standard.Once audit has been passed the dress can finally be shipped to the customer.

It is at this stage we feel the happiest knowing that we will be a part of the customer's Wedding Day by providing a beautiful custom made Wedding Dress to be worn on their most special and memorial day.
