d’Italia stocks a wide variety of fabrics in different colours to get your bridesmaid dresses custom made in Melbourne
Some brides in the past have had their bridal gown made with us, but have opted to have their bridesmaids’ dresses either bought or made cheaply with another source. A number of these brides have come back after their weddings and told us how they wished they had gone the extra mile to do the made of honour dresses and dresses for bridesmaids properly. They complain that the girls looked very ordinary in the wedding photos and there is this deep regret that they didn’t “do it properly”, which they will experience every time they look back at their treasured photos of “the day” …
Lets think about it logically… Firstly, it is virtually impossible to get a perfect fit anywhere for anyone when buying off the rack bridesmaids’ dresses. Secondly, it is very difficult to choose a style that will suit differing body shapes and sizes. Then try to find that “right” style in the colour you want in all the right sizes – when there are more than two bridesmaids in the wedding party you are guaranteed to find yourself up against a wall! This is why many, many brides opt to have their bridesmaids’ gowns custom made with us, where the only major decision is what colour and lengths the dresses will be and the rest is relatively easy.
Even if the styles are unknown, there are standard fabric lengths needed which simply depend on whether the dresses are floor length or shorter. Once you have come into our bridal shop and identified your colour and fabric, we will advise how much fabric you would need for custom made bridesmaids dresses. If you are happy with your choice, then it’s as simple as ordering the fabric to qualify you for a referral to one of our seamstresses. Once booked in with a dressmaker, all the guess-work is over – our seamstresses can help your maid of honour and bridesmaids’ find their ideal styles to flatter each of them optimally – or there are a number of basic styles which suit most body shapes altogether.
The girls will ALL look their ultimate best, as they will be able to have individual styles which fit them PERFECTLY in the EXACT colour you always wanted for your wedding theme.
