In the final of Miss Charm, the foreign MC and 2014 Miss Costa Rica, Karina Ramos, also chose two designs of Tuan to wear on the red carpet and at the main event.We have worked constantly in the past two months to handle the big number of orders. Many of them are custom-made and it took 10-15 days to complete, Tuan said. I had to stop taking new orders after Lunar New Year to focus on completing the old ones. Despite the pressure, everyone put in the work with the best effort in order to contribute to the success of Miss Charm.
