Deva’s Custom Wedding Dress

Have you ever wondered what ‘off-the-rack’ means?

It is a gown that is available to purchase as is with no changes, sometimes you have the option of adding length. An ‘off-the-rack’ bridal store will take your measurements and then order the gown in the size closest to your measurements. ‘Off-the-rack’ gowns are usually purchased somewhere between 6 months to 18 months before your wedding, when the gown arrives (sometimes as close as one month before your wedding) you will then need to organise alterations so the gown fits you. Alterations are an additional cost which can range from $500 to $1,500.

Deva’s Story

Deva opted for a custom wedding dress after looking at a few dress shops in Perth and even travelling to Melbourne to see what was available. Deva was after a wedding dress with sleeves which can be hard to find ‘off-the-rack’.

When we met with Deva we designed a custom wedding dress with a soft tulle skirt that was light and easy to move around in, we then sourced a unique lace for Deva’s bodice with lace sleeves ensuring this was a one-off design!

Deva and Alex were all smiles on their wedding day, with the odd tear during their heartfelt ceremony. They married at the Sunken Gardens at UWA before moving on to Perth City Farm, where I believe they partied on until the wee hours.
