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.

Clothing alteration - crop (hem) sweaters.
$20
Melbourne VIC, Australia
18th May 2025
I’ve got three or four sweaters (jumpers/windcheaters) that I would like cropped and re-hemmed. It’s probably fairly straightforward and I’m happy to pin/mark the length I would like them cropped and re-hemmed to. I am also happy to drop things off and pick them up - ideally in the inner north/northern suburbs or the west. I can add photos if required. I’d like to know the price per item as this will dictate how many I get done at once. I’ve put $20 meaning the price per item but this is negotiable.
