FAQ's | Melbourne | Mel Rose Couture

Do I need to make an appointment?

How much time should I set aside for the appointment?

We allocate a time slot of 1hour for each appointment. This ensures their is adequate time for any consultations and fittings. If your fitting appointment requires more than the 1 hour we will let you know before hand.
Can I bring my friends and family to my appointment?

While Mel Rose Couture understands that you may wish to share your couture experience with your family and friends, we are a small studio unable to accommodate large parties. We ask that you only invite a maximum of 2 people (other than yourself) to the appointment. This ensures the appointment is focused on you and your dream gown.
How long will it take to make my gown?

We recommend clients first contact us 12 months before their event to ensure they can be accomadated. The construction of your gown will start 6 months before your event (or travel date), with several fittings throughout, and your final fitting scheduled for around 1-2 weeks before your wedding.
My event is less than 12 months away. Am i still able to have a couture gown made?

From time to time Mel Rose Couture may have vacancies for couture gowns. We suggest you get in contact with us as soon as you can to secure your booking.
I have a picture of a gown I really love. Can you copy it?

When searching for your dream gown we understand how easy it can be to fall in love with images of one or more gowns. However, making an exact copy of another designer's gown is not something we will do. We are happy for you to bring pictures along that show what styles and elements you are drawn to. Mel will then work with you on creating your Couture gown.
I love one of your collection gowns, but would want it in a different colour/fabric. Is that possible?"
