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?
Dinah is in Sydney weekly and appointments can be arranged to meet her there in person. We also offer Zoom appointments.
The Dressmaking Process
Our made-to-measure?
Our made-to-measure dresses involve measuring your body and adjusting an existing design and pattern to suit your body shape. A calico toile is made to fit the design to your body. An in-person fitting is required to check the fit before continuing. When Dinah is satisfied with the fit the real fabric is then cut and your dress begins the making process.
We are a small business based on slow fashion principles. Our lead times are a minimum of 16-20 weeks.
