Janice will guide you step by step through the process of making your dream dress from scratch to the finished look. She is definitely worth her weight in tulle!

Realising that she didn’t love her own wedding dress was more than enough reason for her to make beautiful gowns for her brides. She’s London trained and has over 20 years experience as a bridal dressmaker and to inspire her design expertise even further, she arranged a visit to a Paris bridal couture studio in 2017, that lifted her passion for making bridal gowns to an even higher level. 

• During the one hour consultation, we discuss your ideas, such as silhouette, fabrics and finishes while also considering your budget. 
• Some people choose to bring their mum or a bridesmaid for support, but remember, this is YOUR dream dress and will be designed with your vision in mind.
• An original sketch is made of the dress, which will be sent to you in a document with notes of what we discussed during the session.
• If you choose to go ahead, we’ll arrange our next date for taking your measurements.

You would be encouraged to first go shopping to try on different styles in bridal boutiques. This will give you a good idea of what shape suits you best. Then you are ready to come in for a consult. There wouldn’t be any obligation if after the consult, you decided not to have your dress made, it is entirely your choice.

The price range for made-to-measure gowns vary so much, depending on the style, the fabric and decorative details.

Price ranges are Premium $3000-$6999 and Classic $1900- $2999 for the whole service, which includes materials, fittings, and general ongoing alterations. 

This is why we have a consultation to provide you with a more accurate cost. If you are working within a budget range, knowing beforehand how much you want to spend on your dress gives Janice something tangible to work with when meeting to discuss your dress.

Don’t worry that’s what the consult is for. We can have a discussion and you will be asked all the right questions to point you in the right direction and together we can figure out designing a dress that you will absolutely love. 

If you’re still unsure of the decision you made in the first free consultation and want to have another consult with… say, your mum or a trusted friend, the second consult is priced at $220 (inc GST) and will be deducted from the total price of your final payment. 

• When you’ve decided to go ahead, we’ll book your next consult to take your measurements.
• At this stage a deposit of 50% is required to begin the process. Janice only works with 12 brides per year so this deposit secures your place.
