Can bridal shops modify a designer dress substantially??

I have made up my dream dress in my head but need it to come together, for example I want a mermaid style but want the train a particular design and length and I also want off the shoulder (more structured than just arm bands though). If I were to purchase a strapless dress from a botique would the alterations be allowed to modify the dress to this degree? And in saying this would matching lace be hard to get ?

Where is the best area in Melbourne to go shopping for wedding dresses?

Should I start with Armadale, Sydney Road, Moonee Ponds or somewhere else? I am only down in Melbourne for a week so would like to have it ordered on the day and be sent to me to have alterations done.
