When should you start looking for your wedding dress?

The best time to start looking for your wedding gown is twelve to eighteen months from your wedding.

When is the perfect time to buy?

We suggest booking your gown at least six months from your wedding date.

Can you do rush orders?

On occasions we are able to accomodate rush orders. If your wedding is under four months away and you would like to order our gown, please contact us before purchasing.

What sizes do your dresses come in?

All One Day and CHOSEN gowns are available in an extended size range.

What if I am in between sizes?

If you are in between sizes it is best to choose the size each measurement fits into. You can then have the gown altered if needed.

Will I need alterations?

All standard size gowns will require alterations. This could be from minor: hem, handloop, bustle to major alterations: reconstructing bodice, take in at SS, take in through CB etc. Major alterations will also be determined by the bride depending on how many amendments they wish to make to the gown visually.

What does a (Chosen) fitting involve and how much does it cost?

Our alteration cost is $120 per hour. We advise brides to budget $1000 and that we cannot specify a number of hours alterations could take as this can only be determined by the dressmaker once everything is pinned and agreed on by the bride to alter/change. An alteration appointment involves working closely with the dressmaker and client co-ordinator to get the fit of a standard size gown as close as possible to the body. Our client co-ordinator will advise on veils, jewellery, undergarments, how to store gown, recommended dry cleaner. The appointment is between 45-60 minutes long and requires decided wedding shoes.

How do I decide what size to order?

Please refer to our size chart.

Do I need to make an appointment to view your gowns?

If you would like to try gowns from our CHOSEN or ONE DAY ranges you will need to make an appointment for a private consultation.

What is the price range of your gowns?

We have a few different process to choose from which all fall into different price ranges. Our ready to wear range, CHOSEN are made to a standard Australian dress size and are priced between $3,000 – $7,000. If you wanted a customised experience, we offer our ONE DAY made to measure service with 2-4 fittings to ensure your gown fits you perfectly. You will be able to customise your gown to suit your style, this may involve adding sleeves, changing fabric or changing neck/backlines. These gowns range from $7,000 – $10,000. We also offer a Bespoke design service, where you will work closely with Kyha & her design team to create & design a one of a kind wedding gown. We source all fabrics for you and create a truly unique dress made especially for you. This service starts at $10,000.

How long does it take to make a dress?

A Chosen gown will be completed 6 weeks prior to the wedding date if it isn’t a rush order. It is at this stage where alterations will commence. We allow 4 weeks for the alterations to be completed having the final pick up to be 2 weeks prior to the wedding date.

Where are your gowns made?

Elements of the process are completed all over the world including fabrics from France, Italy and Japan. We also works closely with India to produce Bespoke Designed beaded fabrics. Every gown design is developed in Melbourne, Australia by Founder and Creative Designer Kyha. Thoughtfully designed and carefully placed within the collection, each gown moves through an extensive design and development process. Our team have worked to develop trustworthy relationships with all their suppliers to ensure each garment and all products are made ethically and to the highest quality. All garments are hand finished and quality checked in our South Melbourne studio.

How do I clean my gown?

After the wedding we will recommend a specialist bridal dry cleaner (Syndals) and provide a 50% off voucher. We advise to not clean anything yourself as water and products can leave watermarks and damages to the gown if not cleaned correctly. There is a care label in each gown that states our recommendation of how the gown is to be cleaned.

I don’t live in Australia, where can I try your gowns?

Our ready to wear brand CHOSEN is stocked at a number of boutiques internationally. You can find a full list of stockists here. ONE DAY BRIDAL is available exclusively at our South Melbourne boutique. We have a small range of ONE DAY gowns available at The Loft, Hong Kong.
