Melinda reached out to Jillian Joy to recreate a Filipiniana dress worn by her mother for her 1-year anniversary reception. We went with the same black colour as her mom’s dress, mimicked the lace applique placement, and added a chic leg slit. She also wore the popular Jillian Joy ready-to-wear long sleeve terno wrap top with her traditional wedding gown for her ceremony!

“I am in LOVE with the custom terno dress that Jillian created for me! I wanted to recreate my mom’s Filipiniana dress from her pageant days for my wedding reception. I was very impressed with the designs that Jillian came up with since I only had one blurry photo as a reference. From the consultation to shipping out the dress, Jillian was very professional, responsive, and great to work with. While waiting for my custom terno, I couldn’t help but order a ready to wear, long sleeve terno from Jillian too. I was so happy to elevate my traditional wedding gown with the long sleeve terno and then rock the custom terno for my dinner reception. I highly recommend both her “ready to wear” and “made to order” ternos!”
