FAQ

Do you have a showroom?

Yes - We now operate exclusively through our private showroom in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand. Appointments are one hour long and give you and your bridal party exclusive access to our full collection with personalised styling guidance.

Appointments are available on selected days and times — book your showroom appointment here or contact us on 021 984 910 for availability outside the online calendar.


Can I order sample dresses if my bridesmaids can’t visit in person?

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.

  • Payment: All sample orders must be paid by credit card.

  • Returns: Samples must be returned within 7 days of receipt. Late returns will be charged at full retail price.

  • Responsibility: If samples are lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair, you will be liable for replacement.

  • Courier: All samples are sent with “Signature Required,” and returns must be sent via track & trace with signature.

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.


What if the fabric colour varies?

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.


Do I need to order all bridesmaids’ dresses at once?

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.


Do you need my measurements?

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.


Can I get dress measurements?

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.


Can you alter patterns (e.g., thicker straps, shorter hem)?

No, we do not alter patterns. However, a local tailor can make adjustments at your cost. We recommend ordering additional fabric for alterations.


Can I order Additional fabric?

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.


Are the dresses lined?

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.


What underwear should I wear?

We recommend a strapless bra and seamless nude underwear.


What does “cut on the bias” mean?

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.

What fabrics are your dresses made from?

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.


Do your dresses shrink?

No. All fabrics are pre-washed and pre-shrunk before sewing.


Matte vs Satin – which should I choose?

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.


Creasing & Care

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.


Can I buy fabric swatches?

Our fabric samples are FREE.  Order your FREE fabric samples here → Fabric Swatches


What sizes are available?

We make sizes NZ 6–24. For bridesmaids outside this range, we can supply additional fabric for local tailoring.


Can I return or exchange dresses?

No. All dresses are Made to Order and cannot be refunded or exchanged for sizing issues. We recommend ordering additional fabric for alterations if needed.


Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we regularly ship worldwide. Please note you are responsible for any customs duties or taxes in your country.


I have a Pregnant Bridesmaid

We have you covered! many of our styles work beautifully for pregnancy, and we recommend sizing up and ordering extra fabric for flexibility. Some of our most popular bump-friendly styles include the Drawstring Dress, Last Kiss Dress, Feels Dress, All That Matters Dress, Slow It Down Dress, and Rebel Grace Dress.


Do you keep stock in your showroom?

No. Our collection is made to order, but we may occasionally have samples or styles for sale. Contact us to check current availability.


Styles for curvy bridesmaids?

For curvier bridesmaids, we recommend styles that drape beautifully and offer flattering, comfortable fits such as the Slow It Down Dress, Rebel Grace Dress, Sunset Wrap Dress, Pull Me Closer Dress, Feels Dress, Roxanne Dress, and Last Kiss Dress, with the option of ordering extra fabric to make any alterations simple.


How long will my order take?

Standard: 8–14 weeks
Express: NZD $100 fee, faster delivery available


Can you provide matching ties?

We can supply fabric for ties. Minimum 1 metre order (40cm fabric required per tie). For best colour consistency, order fabric with your dresses.


Are website colours accurate?

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.


Where are your dresses made?

All designs are created in New Zealand and handmade in Indonesia by our skilled team.


Discounts

We do not offer discounts on made-to-order dresses. Our pricing is already set as competitively as possible.


Do you rent dresses?

No, we do not rent. Once purchased, you are free to resell or rent them yourself.


Should my bridesmaid size down if she plans to lose weight?

No. Always order her actual current size. Dresses can be taken in later, but cannot be let out if ordered too small.


How much fabric is needed for a local tailor to make a dress?

We recommend a minimum of 3 metres, but always check with your tailor first.
