Our Haute Couture Services enable complete freedom of Design alongside Design Director Alison Davis. This bespoke Journey begins from conceptual sketch’s, which evolve through design & fit sessionsand are completed with final fittings, all crafted by expert artisans within our Sydney Atelier

Design Development

The initial design stage begins with a private Consultation alongside the Design Director Alison Davis. Each bride can try on our Couture Toile Samples, Ready To Wear Samples and can also browse our fabric options. This stage is about discovering silhouette's, texture, shape, and design.
If required, Alison is also able to source a specific fabrication upon request
price: $150

Bringing your Vision to Life

Once an initial Design is finalized we can begin crafting the toile. A ''toile'' is the chosen design, constructed in a calico fabrication. This enables our brides to visualize the chosen design, and further develop the design if needed. Toile Fitting Sessions are an extremely exciting time for both Bride & Designer, as Alison works intimately with each bride, to ensure the Vision is exactly as imagined. Haute Couture is an organic process where designs develop and take form over a period of fittings. It's a truly magical journey which brings every brides vision to life

Final Fittings

Our Haute Couture Gowns are all handcrafted within our Sydney based Atelier with all fittings conducted alongside Design Director Alison Davis. If required, Final Fittings can be scheduled as close as 2 weeks prior to the wedding date (to ensure a perfect fit for each bride) Every Gown is meticulously handled by Senior Couturiers and are constructed following haute couture techniques & finishes.
