Enquire 

I work with a limited number of clients at a time so that every commission receives my full attention.

Before we speak, I ask a few short questions to understand your occasion, your timeline, and what you're looking for. This helps us both assess whether the timing and the work are the right fit

Completing the enquiry form below takes a few minutes. From there I'll review your details and be in touch within two business days.

 

My calendar for 2026 is now largely committed. I am currently taking enquiries for commissions beginning from April 2027. If your event falls in late 2026 and you'd like to discuss whether timing is workable, you're welcome to reach out.

What's happens next

 

Once your enquiry is submitted I'll review the details you've shared and be in touch within two business days.

If we're well matched, the next step is a complimentary Pre-Design Conversation — a short call by phone or Zoom to confirm that the timing, scope, and process feel right for both of us.

 

From there, a Design Consultation is held in the studio. This is a paid appointment at $195, and it's where the real work begins — your brief, your direction, fabric exploration, and the foundations of your design. Included within that appointment is your Design Presentation, where I bring back the designs and fabric options developed from our conversation.

Nothing is rushed. Each stage happens in the right order and at the right pace.

Lead times

Special occasion — minimum 6 months

Bridal — minimum 10 months

The Process

If you'd like to understand how the work unfolds before you enquire, the process page walks you through it in full.

The Process →

From the time I spoke to Mel to initiate her services, to the exchange of the gowns she created, her service was impeccable. The value of her work is worth every cent, but most of all, the personalised experience she provided was priceless. My sister and I wore custom design dresses to my niece's wedding that captured the essence of elegance that could not be found in any store. Mel's craftmanship is uniquely exquisite, as is her service. We have booked in for another experience with Mel for Family Wedding # 2
