Custom Couture

What You’ll Love About Working with Custom Couture for Your Sydney Wedding:

• Strong technical expertise. Olivia brings training in couture construction, patternmaking and fit to every stage of the gown-making process.
• Creativity backed by craftsmanship. From intricate details to complex silhouettes, each design is developed with both artistry and precision.
• Made individually, never off the rack. Every couture gown is created around the client’s measurements, ideas and personal sense of style.

Olivia’s strength lies in taking an idea and turning it into a beautifully resolved couture piece. She works across sketching, draping, custom patternmaking, embellishment and construction, carefully balancing creativity with the technical demands of fit and structure. Complex design ideas are welcomed, with each element considered as part of the gown as a whole.

Before the final fabric is cut, Olivia develops a custom pattern and calico toile to establish the gown’s fit, proportions and defining details. The design then progresses through a series of fittings over approximately eight months, allowing the silhouette, internal structure and finishing to be refined with care. The result is a gown handcrafted specifically for the person who will wear it.
