Appointments
Do I need to book an appointment?
Yes! Appointments are essential, please click here to complete our appointment request form.
What do I bring to my appointment?
It’s helpful to bring along some ideas of the style you’re looking for, but don’t worry if you’re not sure, our design service is here to help.
How many people can I bring?
We recommend only bringing a very close friend or family member, and sometimes just yourself can be best on the first fitting appointment. We can accommodate additional people upon request.
I’m not based on the South Coast, how can I make an appointment to start designing my dress?
Our head designer Dinah is often in Sydney and appointments can be arranged to meet her there in person. We also offer Zoom appointments and can walk you or a friend/ family member through the steps to take your exact body measurements.
The Dressmaking Process
What is the difference between made-to-order and made-to-measure?
Made-to-order means that a dress is made to your closest standard size and alterations are either made in-house or by a third-party seamstress. Made-to-measure means that we make a custom pattern specific to your exact measurements, this involves multiple dress fittings to ensure the perfect fit.
What are your current dress-making lead times?
We are a small company based on slow fashion and exquisite couture finishes. Our lead times are normally 16-20 weeks, this is subject to our current production schedule and will be confirmed during your first appointment. If your wedding is in less than 14 weeks we recommend discussing this with us before booking your first fitting. Rush service is available for an additional fee, but we are not always able to accommodate this due to our small team being at full production capacity.
Online Orders
Do you take online orders?
We are currently working on an exciting new range of veils and accessories that will be available for online purchase soon.
