FAQ

Not at all – the dressmakers' experience makes them an excellent source for suggestions. Customers only need have a basic idea of what they are after, (which is worked out with d'Italia's consultants) as the dressmakers' studios have many fashion books and pictures to help fine-tune their ideas, plus they all store images of past creations on their computers. It is usual for them to work off the design sketches from d'Italia, and then in the process of fittings, the design is fine tuned on the body. The dressmakers make their own patterns, regardless of whether they are making something from a sketch, from a photo or copying an existing garment - so it is completely unnecessary to take patterns to them.

A design is often best left to develop on the body, which is actually what couture is. It is easy for d'Italia's consultants to calculate know how much fabric is required for a basic design, after which you may request for a referral to a dressmaker. After the making of the garment has commenced, there are many stages where the design can be tweaked along the way - so you will end up with a completely unique and individual style, custom-made for you! Although this requires a fair amount of faith in the dressmaker's talents, it is the most creative way to make something amazing. After having "settled in" with a seamstress by having had a number of garments made by her in the past, many regular customers eventually trust their dressmaker to help them create styles individually for them. A personal relationship develops between customer and dressmaker - one based on familiarity and understanding...

Shuchi at Ditalia was so helpful with helping me select beautiful quality fabrics and putting me in touch with the dressmaker to create my dream gown. Such beautiful quality and helped me create my custom gown.

My dress was custom made from my own design. The couturier was Eva Tomala and she was brilliant. She spent many months perfecting the corset and when my dress came to life, it brought tears to my eyes. She made me feel like such a beautiful bride. I loved every detail of my dress and watching the process to get it made.

The d’Italia team made the process of creating my very own bespoke party dress to wear on the evening of my wedding an absolute dream turned into reality. It was great to make a contribution to my dress and see the journey of its creation from start to finish. Selecting my very own fabrics was a special and memorable process, as was being paired with my dressmaker, Eva. Eva and the team were meticulous and ensured the process was very enjoyable. The end result was a dress that represented elegance, glamour and fun - exactly what I wanted! Thank you d’Italia for creating the dress of my dreams, I will always look back on memories of the day with a very big smile.

I honestly couldn’t recommend this team more highly! The entire process of creating my wedding dress was an absolute dream from start to finish. I had the opportunity to design my dress exactly how I envisioned it, and they brought it to life perfectly, even within a really tight time frame. The service was unreal: so warm, professional, and genuinely supportive every step of the way. I felt completely looked after and heard, and I’m beyond grateful for their care and talent.

Jenna was absolutely beautiful in helping me find my dream dress! I tried a few other places prior to visiting D’Italia, and was so impressed with the quality of the material and selection of ready to wear dresses, with the opportunities to adjust anything you needed. I ended up trying on the Harper dress and fell in love! The process was so smooth, and it arrived with plenty of time before my wedding date even though I had left it last minute. Thank you so much to Jenna and the team, you made my experience wonderful. Highly recommend

Recommendations for choosing dresses

I’m a 30-year-old bride-to-be, and I’m feeling overwhelmed with choosing the perfect wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses for my big day. Any tips or recommendations for finding styles that suit different body types? Would love to hear your advice!

d'Italia

Hi There,

As a designer here at d'Italia Couture, I completely understand how overwhelming it can feel to find the perfect dresses for both you and your bridal party. Here are some tips to make the process smoother and more enjoyable:

For Your Wedding Dress:

  1. Start with Inspiration: Create a mood board with styles you’re drawn to. Think about silhouettes, necklines, fabrics, and even small details that stand out to you.
  2. Know Your Silhouette: Focus on what makes you feel confident! 
  3. Consider Comfort: You’ll be wearing the dress for hours, so make sure it feels good to move in, not just looks good.
  4. Try Different Styles: Even if you think a particular silhouette won’t suit you, give it a shot—you might be surprised!

For Bridesmaid Dresses:

  1. Go for Versatility: Mismatched dresses in complementary shades or fabrics are a popular and flattering choice. Let your bridesmaids choose styles that suit their body types while staying within a consistent color palette.
  2. Think Universal Fabrics: Chiffon or crepe fabrics tend to drape beautifully on different figures.
  3. Opt for Adjustable Details: Wrap dresses, dresses with adjustable straps, or convertible designs offer a custom fit for everyone.
  4. Get Their Input: Your bridesmaids will appreciate being part of the decision-making process!

What length dress for a 4pm wedding for mother of the groom?

My son is getting married at 4pm, wondering what is an appropriate length dress to wear for this time of day?

d'Italia

Hi There, 

For a 4 PM wedding, a midi or tea-length dress is perfect for a more semi-formal afternoon celebration. If the event leans formal or extends into the evening, a floor-length gown or an elegant cocktail dress would also work beautifully.

How many wedding dress appointments will I need?

Hi there. Wondering how many wedding dress appointments I should be factoring into my planning, including fittings and pickup? And how long they normally go for? Thanks.

d'Italia

Hi There,

For our ready-to-wear gowns, you’ll typically need three appointments: one for your initial try-on once the dress arrives and two for alterations to ensure the perfect fit. Each of these appointments usually takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on what’s needed.

If you decide to go the custom route, the process involves 4-6 fittings on average, depending on the complexity of the gown. These appointments can take slightly longer, around 40-90 minutes, as we fine-tune every detail to create your dream dress.
