Melbourne CBD VIC 3000, Australia
18th May 2025
I'm looking to get a custom dress made for my wedding in May next year. Attached are references for the style I'm keen to create, which is heavily inspired by Danielle Frankel's Simone dress: https://www.daniellefrankelstudio.com/products/simone "Raised cowl neck, bias cut silk wool long sleeve gown with 5 inch slit at wrist. Open back with scarf draped accent. Fully lined with side zip closure." I'm seeking quotes at the moment and would love to understand how much custom making something like this style would cost and what the process looks like.
