1. Billy Tjong
Billy Tjong’s works are known to have touches of elegance and femininity. In his bridal line, the designer provides custom-made and ready stock dresses, but either way, he advises his customers to contact him three to 12 months prior to the ceremony.
After the first meeting, the designer would begin to draw sketches, select the main and supporting materials, make the pattern and design the mock-up version of the dress on blacu fabric (fabric with rough fibers). Customers can also look for fabrics along with the designer.
Billy does not strictly limit how many fittings for his customers are required, but it usually takes one to five times, depending on their needs. Billy often receives requests to design a dress that highlights a certain body shape. Especially for mermaid style, a-line and ball gown wedding dresses. Prices for Billy’s wedding dresses depend on the materials.
