VERITY TAYLOR

M Y   G O W N S

 

Each bespoke gown is designed in collaboration with the client and tailored to her precise measurements. Crafted from high quality fabrics and constructed using traditional couture techniques, each gown is finished in the highest  quality. As a designer, I endeavour to showcase women at their absolute best, making a statement of romanticism, femininity, and individual perfection. 

 

All of my gowns are handmade in my home studio.

The creation of a bespoke bridal gown is a collaborative and intricate process.  I recommend allowing 6 – 9 months for the creation of your gown.  In some situations, I will endeavour to cater to a shorter time frame.

 

Firstly, we will arrange an initial design consultation.  I ask that you bring no more than two members of your entourage to this meeting. During the consultation, we will focus on design concepts, experiment with different skirt and bodice silhouettes, and discuss fabrics and embellishments.  I will sketch some designs incorporating the elements discussed and together we will refine your gown.  Your gown will be individually priced, with the final quote being provided in the days following your consultation. 

 

A toile of the gown will be created in calico, which is used as a guide for fitting.  I ask that you bring along the shoes and undergarments you intend to wear on the day of your wedding to the toile fittings.  A toile may require 2 – 3 fittings to ensure the completed gown will fit you perfectly. 

 

Once we are both satisfied with the fit and silhouette of the toile, construction on the gown can begin.  A final fitting will take place before the gown is completed to make any further alterations.  The gown can then be finalised and collected.

All gowns are constructed from high quality fabrics and embellishments, and can take upwards of 40 hours to create.  Prices start from $4,500 with the final price determined by style, fabric, and embellishment.  After the initial consultation, I will email a quote for your unique gown outlining the design details. 

 

A 40% deposit is required before any construction can begin.  At this time you will also receive the finalised sketch of your gown.  The remaining 60% will be paid in instalments throughout the construction process.  The full payment is required prior to collection of the finalised gown.

 

Please note that any major changes to the design or fit of the gown may result in additional costs. 

 

Payments can be made via bank transfer or in cash.
