Design consultation

If we've spoken and agreed to move forward, this is where the ideas start.The Design Consultation is a paid in-studio appointment at $195, held at the Bulleen studio by appointment only. We meet for 60 minutes to build your brief together — your occasion, your instincts, the details that matter to you, the silhouette that works for your body and the event. From here I develop your design direction and begin sourcing fabric options.The $195 investment includes your Design Presentation — a follow-up appointment where I bring back the designs and fabric selections developed from our conversation. Every design and fabric option I bring back has been chosen with your brief in mind.This is the foundation the entire commission is built on.

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
