OVERVIEW

In a world of ever-increasing number of outlets for Gown purchasing, there’s no better experience as wonderful and exciting than having your Gown especially made to measure and fitted perfectly for your body shape and unique style with a personal one on one consult where the focus is the Bride, her party and her needs in a very relaxed atmosphere, without the sales pressure one may experience when going into a retail outlet.

I look forward to every Gown I create and love to see the clients' big smile when they see the finished product. Their happiness is most important to me, it’s a truly memorable moment.

When meeting a client in my studio it’s a very relaxed atmosphere, without the sales pressure one may experience when going into a retail outlet, the focus is on the bride and bridal party.

During the first consultation all of your requirements are discussed, I always encourage brides to bring with them any drawings, pictures or other inspiration pieces or photo cuttings. We create a list of the bride’s preferences. From this, designs are sketched, fabrics swatches and colours are shown to the client to ensure the bride has a clear picture of the end result, in the course of this initial consultation an accurate, personalised quote can be calculated.

Prices are competitive and affordable with the highest quality of finish and construction where each gown is made with love.

She was absolutely phenomenal. She went over and beyond the brief. She is so passionate about what she does and you can tell that she really loves what she does. Her communication was outstanding and you won't be disappointed if you choose her!

Margarida is the most amazing wedding dress designer and sewer! After finding her on FB, rated as one of the best wedding dress sewers/designers I drove the 1 hour journey each way to her house/studio. She even delivered the dress to me in Perth the day before my wedding :-)

How expensive are wedding dresses in Australia?

A range is fine, looking at my budget and not sure what to allocate to the dress

Margarida Couture

Hello,

Congratulations on your engagement, it's a very exciting time in anyone's life, getting married. :)

There's a lot of lovely Gowns that can be purchased between $1200.00- $3000.00. Try going to different bridal stores, have a look at price tags, let the sales assistant know that you're just pricing. Have a look at different styles and try them on, ask the price, ask lots of questions such as process time if you choose a dress from their store, consultation Fees, alteration costs, then you'll have a better idea of what you should allocate for your dress.

Please don't hesitate to contact if you have any other questions, i would be happy to assist you in your search for the dress of your dreams, my services include Free consultations, Fabric sourcing and much more.

Best wishes for your dress search.

How to wedding dress shop?

Any tips for booking apppointments and tips for finding the right dress will be greatly appreciated

Margarida Couture

Hi There,

Congratulations on your engagement, you must be very excited and looking forward to planning your big day. :)

Before booking an appointment with any Store or Designer, firstly I recommend writing a list of what you would like on your wedding dress, do you want a strapless sweetheart style, mermaid, Fishtail gown with spaghetti straps and so on, look through Instagram or the net of a favourite Designer get ideas and write them down on the list. Once you got your List, go to different Bridal stores and try the style that has most of your preferences and don't be afraid to try anything you see that takes your fancy, sometimes what we think we want may not look right, so try on as many styles as you need to. If you don't feel quite sure with the dress you pick, leave it for the time being until you feel it's the right one, it's your big day and you'll want to feel fantastic wearing it.

Also you may want to wear a Strapless Bra or have one ready in your bag before trying on dresses incase you'll need it.

I'm a Dressmaker and Designer and would be more than happy to assist you with styles best suited to your personality, my services include Fabric sourcing at wholesale prices, one on one Free consultations or if you're interstate I can give you a run down on Design Process, I'd be happy to create a custom Gown adding everything on your list so that you get exactly what you envision.

Most important of all is to enjoy the experience .

If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to contact.

Best wishes on your dress hunting. xx

How does a dress fitting work? What do I need to do?

And where do I start?

Margarida Couture

After a Free consult to discuss the Gown, Fabrics, colour, the measurements are then taken, from there a toile is made up(Calico or Cotton fabric) and the first fitting is arranged where the client comes in to try on the Calico and any alteratioms are done. Then the real gown is cut and sewn together ready for the first Free gown fitting, when the client is happy with the look, feel and fit of the gown it is then finished and ready for a pre-final trial. The next appointment will be the Final dress where the client can take the dress home.

If the case is that the client is wanting to lose weight another pre-fitting is arranged after the client is happy with her weight. If oyu have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you and have a wonderful day. :)
