A custom made wedding dress is a gown designed exclusively for you, tailored to your style, vision and body measurements. Unlike off-the-rack dresses, which are pre-designed in standard sizes and styles, a custom dress is created from the ground up with you in mind.

When you choose a custom dress, every detail—from fabric and silhouette to embellishments and fit—is carefully considered to reflect your personality and wedding aesthetic.

The process is collaborative: you work directly with our design team to bring your dream dress to life, ensuring it complements your body, your style and your preferences.

In contrast, off-the-rack dresses are ready-made, limiting any changes to minor adjustments and often requiring compromises on fit, style, or fabric.

A custom gown ensures your dress is one-of-a-kind and truly yours—a dress that no one else will have.

Yes, absolutely. We can create a customized version inspired by a design you love. To begin, submit the Request A Quote form and provide:

• High-resolution front and back images of the dress
• Any specific elements you want included (lace appliqués, beading, sleeves, neckline changes, etc.)

If you do decide to proceed, our designers will review these details to recreate the essence of your inspiration and desired modifications.

Final pricing is based on the specific design. Factors influencing cost include:

1. Intricacy & Detail
More complex designs, hand-beading, layered lace, and structural elements increase labour and craftsmanship time.

2. Time-frame
Shorter timelines or urgent orders require additional resources and labour.

3. Fabrics & Materials
Premium materials such as silks, luxury laces, or beaded fabrics vary in price.

4. Pattern-Making
Custom patterns created specifically for your measurements and silhouette require additional time.

We always aim to provide transparent cost breakdowns so you have a clear understanding of what you are investing in.

To receive an accurate quote, simply complete our Request A Quote form and attach your inspiration photos.

Absolutely. Our goal is to transform your ideas into a beautiful real life gown.

We can work from:

• Photos you have collected
• Your Pinterest inspo boards
• Your conceptual ideas or sketches
• Specific design elements you love (neckline, sparkles, sleeves, train, etc)

To help you visualize your gown before committing, we offer custom digital sketches that merge all your design requests into one cohesive illustration.

Please note: Digital sketches incur an additional fee as they require dedicated designer time.

Custom bridal gowns require care, precision, and time. Our typical timeline is:

• Standard designs: 4–8 months
• Intricate or heavily beaded designs: 10–14 months
• Alterations after completion: Allow 1–3 months

We recommend ordering your custom dress 6–9 months before your wedding to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience.

If your wedding is less than 3 months away, we may still be able to assist (dependent on design complexity). Rush orders require pre-approval and will incur rush fees.

We source fabrics specifically for each bride, rather than keeping a large stock. This allows us to match your preferred texture, colour, and quality more precisely.

We do have selected fabric samples in store.

We can assist in sourcing fabric options for you.

Please note:

• If you require fabric samples, an additional cost incurs for the fabric and shipping.

Yes. We work with brides Australia-wide and internationally.

We provide seamless remote assistance via email, phone, and online platforms, and we have extensive experience guiding brides through the custom process even if they cannot visit our studio.

Design changes depend on the stage of production and the complexity of the modification.

Changes may incur additional fees when they require:

• Reworking the gown’s structure
• Adjusting beading or embellishments
• Remaking pattern pieces
• Repositioning lace appliqués or decorative details

We always discuss fees transparently before proceeding with any changes. Our goal is to support your vision while maintaining the craftsmanship quality of your gown.

Yes. We send mid-production photos for your review and approval, including:

• Mock up silhouette
• Lace placement mock-ups (if applicable)
• Key design elements
• Overall structure progress

Once your dress is complete, we will also send you final photos for approval.

Alterations are not included, as every bride’s body and fit needs are different.

Your gown is created to the closest standard size based on your measurements, but minor or moderate alterations may still be required for the perfect fit. These alterations are charged separately.

Yes. To begin your order, a 50% deposit is required. The remaining balance is due at your first fitting.

If you require alternative arrangements, we are happy to discuss a payment plan that suits your situation.

Once production begins, custom gowns cannot be cancelled, exchanged, or refunded for any reason, as each dress is made specifically to your individual requirements.

We encourage brides to be fully confident in their design before signing the agreement.

Our standard pattern sizes range from AUS 6–18 (XS–3XL). Custom sizing is also available.

Please note:
Custom-made does not automatically mean made-to-measure.
Your gown is made in the closest standard size based on your measurements to reduce the amount of alteration work required, though minor/some adjustments may still be necessary.
