Frequently Asked Questions

HOW MUCH DOES A CUSTOM MADE GOWN COST?

Our wedding gowns start at $1200 and can go up to $3000+, including two fitting sessions and alterations. Prices vary depending on fabric choice, beading and style. We usually offer a quote based on a provided image. We strive to be able to make gowns that fit your needs and budget. We also offer a package deal, for $3500, which includes a wedding gown and three bridesmaid dresses*.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF MAKING A MADE TO MEASURE GOWN?

  1. Gather images from the internet or magazines to show the style of gown you like.
  2. Make an appointment with us and River, our designer and seamstress will help you make changes based on your thoughts, images and preferences. She will create a sketch of your gown for you to approve.
  3. We have a large selection of fabrics and laces for you to choose from including luxurious silk and French lace. We also have a range of colours to choose from. Alternatively, you can bring in your own fabric and we can make your dress from the material that you bring in.
  4. Once your design had been finalised, the dress making process begins, this process can take up to 10 weeks depending on the design of your gown.
  5. Once the dress has been completed we organise for you to come in for your first fitting.
  6. We take this opportunity to make any alterations that you may need. The price of your gown includes two fitting & alteration sessions to make sure that the gown will fit you perfectly.
