New York Fashion Week
This September, eight looks from our Sydney atelier walked the runway in New York: scarlet velvet strung with pearls, black Chantilly lace over tiered silk and sculpted ivory silk for the bride. Every look can now be ordered from our Bridal and Evening Couture Collections.
“Years of dreaming. Months of creating. Weeks of preparing. Every stitch tells a story.”

Two ways to your gown
Have a bespoke gown designed for you from a blank page, or choose one from our couture collections and have it made to your specific body measurements.
Bespoke
A gown designed with Catherine from a blank page, only for you. Allow six to twelve months.

Every bespoke gown is designed, cut and sewn by hand in our Dulwich Hill atelier, to your measurements.
Consultation
Over champagne (or coffee) we talk about your occasion, your style and how you want to feel. I listen first, then the sketching begins.
Sketch and fabric
I hand-draw your design and we choose the silks, laces and embellishment together, sourced from around the world.
Toile and fittings
Your pattern is cut to your measurements and refined over three to five fittings as the gown comes to life.
The day
Your gown is finished two weeks before the day. I also offer a personal wedding morning dressing service, helping you into your gown and ensuring every detail is perfect.
“No woman needs to settle for anything ordinary. You deserve to stand out.”
I’ve been designing since I was five years old, playing with my mother’s dressmaking tools. More than thirty years later the joy is the same: that moment at your final fitting when you see yourself in a gown made only for you.
