Kim Jose
July 2021
Kim first submitted a custom terno inquiry at the beginning of the year, but moving forward with a concrete design kept getting pushed back due to all of the closures and restrictions during the pandemic. The studio finally opened for in person appointments at the beginning of July, and we were able to work quickly to create her dream terno dress for her reception at the end of July. Kim’s custom terno was made with a beautiful beaded fabric, fully lined in ivory and had scalloped edge details along the bottom of the butterfly sleeves as well as at the front, square shaped neckline.
“Working with Jillian is absolute magic and a joy. She made my dream terno dress when I could barely express what I wanted - and she did it all in under one month. I wish I had met Jillian earlier in my wedding planning process. I’ve always known I wanted to incorporate my Filipino culture and heritage on my wedding day, and Jillian brought that and more to the table. The nod to my culture, the beautiful beaded fabric, and the fit made me feel like I was in a Filipino romcom and the baddest bride in town. While it was designed for my wedding reception, I will forever cherish this piece of art and will proudly wear it anytime I get the chance to!”
