Yes! You can order 3 sample dresses for $10 directly from our website — order samples here. This special promotional offer is best used when ordering 3 samples at once, as placing less or more than 3 will be charged differently on the site.
To reduce waste and our fashion footprint, size samples are often made from leftover or rejected fabric. This means samples are for fit and style purposes only and may not reflect the exact fabric or quality of your final order.
Important information:
Security: A copy of a driver’s licence must be emailed to us before samples are sent.

If the size or style you’d like is showing as sold out, please contact us — we often have extra samples available that are not listed online.
Our fabrics are hand-dyed in small batches. While every effort is made to match swatches, there can be up to a 10% variance between swatches and final dresses. Ordering all bridesmaids’ dresses together ensures consistency.
Yes, we strongly recommend placing one full order under a single order number so all dresses come from the same dye batch. If multiple orders are placed, let us know the order numbers so we can batch them together where possible.
No. Our dresses are Made to Order using standard sizes (NZ 6–24). They are not custom-made to individual measurements. For adjustments, we recommend ordering additional/extra fabric and using a local tailor.
Our dresses are true to NZ & international sizing, so we recommend ordering your usual size. If you’d like pattern measurements, we can provide them, but please note incorrect self-measuring has led to errors in the past.
No, we do not alter patterns. However, a local tailor can make adjustments at your cost. We recommend ordering additional fabric for alterations.
When placing your final order, you can also order additional fabric—for ties, pocket squares, or simply as a backup in case alterations are ever needed (for example, if a bridesmaid is pregnant at the time of the wedding). If you’d like to add additional fabric, we generally recommend 2 metres.
Matte: $30 NZD per metre
Satin: $40 NZD per metre
Width: 110cm
Fabric should be ordered with your dresses to ensure it comes from the same dye batch.
Some styles are lined, while others are not. Please check the product description for details. Lining can be added to any dress that does not automatically include it. For lighter colours, we recommend adding lining to avoid any risk of transparency.
We recommend a strapless bra and seamless nude underwear.
Bias cut fabric is cut at a 45-degree angle, giving it natural drape and a figure-flattering silhouette. It creates fluid movement and slight stretch. Only some of our designs use this technique.

Our satin fabric is made from viscose, celebrated for its breathability and beautiful drape. Unlike traditional satin, it won’t cling to the body or cause overheating. Our matte fabric is made from rayon, which shares the same qualities as viscose—soft, breathable, and naturally flowing. Both fabrics are composed of natural fibres, ensuring comfort and elegance for your event.
No. All fabrics are pre-washed and pre-shrunk before sewing.
Both fabrics are natural fibres with excellent drape and breathability. Satin has a firmer fit due to its dense weave, so if you’re between sizes we recommend sizing up. While the patterns are identical for both matte and satin, the satin can feel about a quarter size smaller and a little snugger. If your sample dress feels tight or you’re in between sizes, it’s usually safest to choose the next size up in satin.
Natural fibres may crease in transit. Dresses can be steamed or ironed on a cool setting (ironing usually gives the best finish). Steaming is safe but may leave water marks if overdone.

We try to match colours as closely as possible, but screens can display them differently. To be sure, we recommend ordering fabric swatches before placing your final order. Please note we cannot take responsibility if the colour you choose does not exactly match what you saw on your screen.
