I’m a dressmaker specialising in bespoke bridal gowns, handcrafted from sketch to final fitting. Each dress is designed to reflect your style, your story, and the beauty of your day. With timeless design, luxurious fabrics, and thoughtful detail, I’m here to help bring your dream dress to life.
The initial consultation takes place by appointment at my home studio. Here your vision begins to take shape. We’ll explore your ideas, try on sample gowns, and look at a range of exquisite fabrics. You will receive a design sketch and a quote to consider as we move towards creating your custom wedding dress.
Brides typically have 4-5 fittings to ensure the perfect fit. After taking your measurements, I draft a custom pattern and create a mock-up to refine the style and fit. During the fittings, you’ll also select fabrics, lace, and any intricate details to make the dress truly yours. Each fitting brings us closer to crafting a gown that’s perfectly tailored to your vision and body.
By the final fitting, I ensure that every detail of your ensemble is flawless. We’ll check that your accessories—veil, jewellery, and shoes—perfectly complement your dress. The length and overall fit are given a final check to ensure everything is just right. Once complete, your bespoke gown is beautifully packaged and ready for collection, perfectly prepared for your special day.
With 20 years of experience in designing bespoke dresses, I’ve dedicated my career to mastering couture techniques and working with the finest fabrics to create timeless, classic designs. My journey began in South Africa, where I first honed my skills, and later continued in my atelier in Oxfordshire, England, refining my approach to bespoke craftsmanship. Now, from my workshop in Sydney, I offer an intimate, relaxed environment where each dress is designed exclusively for the client I'm working with. This personal setting allows for a collaborative and deeply customised experience, ensuring every detail reflects your unique vision.
I would love to hear from you!
Please give me a call to make an appointment.
Consultations and fittings take place on Saturdays between 9am and 4pm.
