Frequently Asked Questions

The Collection gowns  are made to order to a standard size- whatever size you measure closest to at the time of your appointment. I recommend a booking lead time of 6-8 months, however, because I make these gowns in my workroom , I have the flexibility to work with shorter time frames if required. For custom made I recommend a minimum of 8 months due to a longer process of appointments and fittings. 

No, I have a beautiful light studio space where I stock a selection of handmade collection dresses for brides to try on, fabrics to choose from and endless designs to peruse. It is a creative hub, an intimate, comfortable setting where by you can feel at ease throughout your appointments with me.

Yes I do, we set a date and time, I send you a zoom link and off we go ! 

Your very first appointment will cost you nothing so please come along and enjoy a glass of bubbles and a chat ! 

Your very first appointment or consultation will last around 1 hour, fittings and alteration appointments thereafter usually last between 30 and 45 mins.

I advise that brides bring no more than 3 people to their appointments. Bringing those trusted few is best!

The custom made gowns start at $4800 , the price of your gown will depend on the style, fabric choice and amount of detail involved in the make up. 

The collection gowns start from $3800 and up. 

Yes, every custom made dress has a toile fitting, a toile is a prototype or mock up of the real dress in a substitute fabric, it ensures a better fit from the very beginning. It also enables the bride to make any small changes to the design before it is cut in the real fabric. 

The dresses I have in the studio are all a AUS/UK 10 (US 6) . The size ranges of the collection gowns are between AUS/UK 8 and UK 18. 

For custom made dresses, I ask for a design deposit of $100 to begin the process. Then it is 50% before the dress process begins, and the final 50% before dress collection. I offer flexible payment options as well so please don't hesitate to ask.
