The fitting process:
Fittings are scheduled shortly after a booking is confirmed making sure that every brides experience is 100% organized and stress free.
The first and second fittings are concentrated on fitting the toile, a cotton mock up of the design. Design lines are determined and positioned for the most flattering results. The toile is fitted to the body and then used as a custom pattern when cutting the gown in fabric. Gowns evolve with each fitting and the opportunity to make changes or add to aspects of the design in its progression is a possibility as all gowns are hand crafted in our Sydney studio.
As proud business owners, it is not in our best interest to have you leave our store with anything but a huge smile on your face and an amazing and gorgeous gown.
