A wedding dress that is completely yours.
Looking for a bespoke wedding dress designed and made in Christchurch? From the first spark of inspiration to the final stitch, the bespoke process is an intimate, exciting experience tailored just for you.
First sketch to final stitch.
Five fittings are woven through the journey, each one refining the fit until your dress embodies perfection.
01
Consultation & Design
We begin with you — your day, your style, your dreams. Together we collaborate on your dress design, take your measurements and refine every detail, from silhouette to fabric, appliqué and beading.
02
The Mock Dress
A toile — a mock dress made to your measurements — lets you step inside your gown-to-be and witness the metamorphosis of your dream dress before a single cut is made in your final fabric.
03
Fittings & Refinement
Your gown takes shape with meticulous attention: main fit changes, hemming and the fine adjustments that make a bespoke dress feel like a second skin.
04
The Final Fitting
With your shoes and undergarments, we perfect the very last details — so on the day, all that's left to do is feel extraordinary.
6–8 months
The Timeline
The minimum time we ask for a bespoke gown — intricate fabrics, appliqué and beading deserve time to be done beautifully.
$3,800 – $5,000
The Investment · NZD
A typical bespoke gown. A 50% deposit secures your date, with the balance settled before you collect your dress.
Heirlooms
Always Welcome
Grandma's vintage lace or a treasured brooch — we lovingly weave family heirlooms into veils and gowns, honouring their history.
Gowns to inspire.
If something speaks to you, it can be made for you — or become the starting point for something entirely new.
Reception & transformation dresses.
Yes — we make reception dresses too, including transformation gowns with detachable sections that turn a traditional wedding dress into the perfect reception look. Ask about it at your consultation.
