How d'Italia Designs Your Custom Made Wedding Dress

Book

The first step is to book an appointment with us so we can start designing your one-of-a-kind gown. We will get to know you, your style, and what you envision for your dress. We’ll go over some initial sketches to narrow down your preferences as well as fabrics so you can get a clear idea of the overall look and feel of your dress. We will help you select the perfect fabric for your gown and finalise your gown’s design elements.

Create

Our dressmakers will first construct your gown using test garments (a cheaper fabric called toile). We’ll construct the body of your dress and find your perfect fit. Once all the elements are approved by you, we’ll start your dress using your chosen fabrics. Fine touches such as beading and embroidery are added at this stage. We’ll also have you regularly come in for fittings to ensure everything is perfect.

Finalise

We recommend scheduling your final fitting 1-2 weeks before your wedding day. This way you can make sure you’re happy with your gown from the fit to the finish.

We want your vision for the perfect gown to come to life and help you feel beautiful and confident on your special day.

FAQ

How long does it take to make a wedding dress?

The length of time it takes to make a wedding dress depends on the complexity of the design. For best results, we always advise brides to enlist our bespoke couture service 12-18 months prior to their wedding date.

What is the difference between couture and made-to-order?

At d’Italia, we offer both couture and made-to-order options. Our couture service is completely bespoke – meaning that your gown will be designed from scratch based on your body measurements, with you involved in every step of the process. On the other hand, our made-to-order service offers a selection of pre-designed ready-to-wear gowns in a range of standardised sizes.

How much does a wedding dress cost?

The price of a wedding dress depends on the design, fabric and level of detail involved. At d’Italia, we want to give brides the chance to enjoy a couture experience at a fraction of the cost of designer labels.

Why should I opt for a bespoke couture wedding dress?

Couture wedding dresses are designed specifically for each individual bride, taking into account her unique style, body shape and budget. Made-to-order gowns, on the other hand, are pre-designed and may not fit your specific size and shape as well as couture options. A bespoke wedding dress also allows the bride the freedom to pick the colour, fabric, silhouette she likes and is not bound with what’s available off the rack. When you have a clear vision for your perfect gown and a unique personal style, working with a couture wedding dress designer to bring your vision to life is the best way to ensure that you end up with a one-of-a-kind gown that you love.

What are the benefits of working with a Melbourne-based couture wedding dress designer?

There are many benefits to working with a local Melbourne couture wedding dress designer rather than opting for a pre-made gown or having your gown made overseas. Firstly, it allows you to have regular fittings and consultations with your designer so that they can get a clear understanding of your style, vision and body shape. This is especially important for brides who are not confident with buying a dress off the rack and altering it after or who have a very specific idea in mind and can’t find it in the shops.

You can do anything from replicating a famous designer dress, combining your favourite fashion elements to getting the perfect fit. Whether you’re a plus sized, athletic or petite bride, we can help you create your desired look, giving you a beautiful dress that compliments your body shape and highlights your best features.
