Your Custom Wedding Dress Journey
Our custom wedding dress design process is a guided, online experience designed to help you create a one-of-a-kind gown with confidence.
From sharing your inspiration to receiving your finished dress, we walk you through each step with expert advice, clear timelines, and personalised support.
Share Your Inspiration
Send us photos of your dream dress or a similar style you love. If we have a comparable design, we’ll share it with you to help confirm key details.
Please include clear notes in the comments section when requesting your quote and answer a few short questions to help us provide accurate pricing.
We’ll likely ask a few further questions via email after you submit your enquiry to ensure we fully understand your vision, preferences, and timeline.
Quote & Sketch Approval
Once your request has been reviewed, we’ll send you a personalised quote based on your custom wedding dress design, fabrics, construction, and requirements.
We’ll also include any feasible timelines or additional information that may help with your decision making process.
To secure your order, a deposit is required, usually around one third of the total cost of your wedding dress. Payments can be made via bank transfer, Stripe, or PayPal.
If you’ve selected a sketch (highly recommended), our artist will begin creating your custom design concept. You’ll have the opportunity to review sketch drafts before finalising the overall look.
Confirm Your Design Brief
You’ll provide your measurements and preferences, including colour, fabric, train length, and any custom details, using our step-by-step guide.
You may choose a standard size or submit custom measurements. We strongly recommend careful measuring, and photos are welcome to help ensure accuracy. Please note that minor alterations may still be required for the perfect fit.
Once all details are confirmed, production begins and your next instalment will be invoiced. We’ll also share pattern photos and progress updates for your approval.
This custom wedding dress design process ensures every detail is considered before production begins, helping us achieve the best possible result.
We Create Your Dress
Your gown is handcrafted by our experienced dressmakers using professional techniques and strict quality control processes.
Each dress is checked carefully to ensure it aligns with your approved brief. Where needed, refinements are made before final completion.
Production typically takes 8–12 weeks, with rush orders available for an additional fee. Before shipping, we’ll share a photo of your finished dress for final approval and request the remaining balance.
We prioritise clear communication, realistic timelines, and quality craftsmanship, ensuring you feel confident at every stage of the process.
Packaging & Delivery
Your gown is carefully packaged and includes a complimentary wedding dress bag.
All orders are shipped with signed delivery for peace of mind, locally with Australia Post. DHL Express is available for urgent timelines at an additional cost.
Once shipped, you’ll receive an email confirmation with your tracking details.
