Creating the perfect wedding dress is not just about the craft, experience, technique or fabrics. It's more about getting to know you. Who you are. What you've dreamed about since a little girl. What makes you feel like you on your special day and what makes you believe that you are truly beautiful.

Bernadette is highly skilled at what she does and you know right away you can trust her to create the perfect wedding dress for you. I felt honoured because Bernadette made my sister's wedding dress and a few years later we came back to her and asked her if she would be willing to re-design the same dress for my wedding. She said yes right away and all it took was a few pictures of styles I liked and she was able to bring it to life! I loved my dress and felt like a princess in it. Thank you Bernadette!

Wow, where to begin?! I first met Bernadette 9 years ago when she made my sister’s wedding dress and knew instantly that I wanted her to make mine when it was time. From the very first visit Bernadette listened to what I wanted and created a masterpiece that was nothing short of amazing. Her keen eye for detail made my dreams a reality. Thank you Bernadette for making my dream gown x

Bernadette created not only one but two perfect gowns for me with the gorgeous fabrics that she chooses from france! I could not recommend her enough! She made the process so easy and was so accommodating and gave great advice! I got so many compliments on the night for both the dresses! They both fit perfectly and the construction was perfect!

The dress that Bernadette created for me can only be described as a work of art! The whole process of working with Bernadette (especially through Melbourne lockdown) was very special. I felt and looked beautiful - thank you Bernadette for making my husband's jaw drop - and making my flowergirls believe I was a princess!

As someone who hates dressing up, hates being centre of attention and is stressfully fussy, wedding dress shopping was not a fun time for me. It wasn’t until I put on one of Bernadette’s dresses that I felt it was possible to find something that I could picture myself wearing. Even then, I told Bernadette I like the top of one dress, bottom of another dress and the material of a third, to which she replied ‘of course’!
You can’t possibly doubt her talent and knowledge, so I had complete confidence in her and valued her guidance. And she delivered! The dress was exactly what I had envisioned

I can't thankyou enough for everything you did to create a one of a kind master piece. The dress was incredible and I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt on such a perfect, romantic day and the best day of my life.
You were kind, caring and understanding to my needs and the design turned out even more spectacular than I could have imagined. I was speechless when I saw the final design. My husband said it was the most beautiful dress he had ever seen and he was so impressed, he couldn't stop looking at me!
My guests and people that saw photos afterwards were commenting on how incredibly stunning

Right from the moment I first met with Bernadette in her beautiful store - I knew she had to be the one to create my vision for my wedding. Her attention to detail and masterful skills in creating the perfect fit are second to none. In addition to this - Bernadette was such an absolute pleasure to deal with and made the whole process so much more fun and exciting.
After such an amazing experience dealing with Bernadette for my wedding garments - I knew she was the best person to create a couture one-of-a-kind christening gown for my son. I wanted a timeless heirloom piece that could be passed

Absolutely wonderful experience with Bernadette. Very personal and accommodating, even for the most difficult-indecisive clients - me :)
Bernadette made sure that I was 100% happy with the outcome. The dress was such an important part of the day for me and I am so happy that I went with Bernadette. I couldn't be happier with my experience with Bernadette.
Thank you so much!

My time spent with Bernadette and her gorgeous daughters was one of the best parts of my wedding preparations. My gown was sublime. It made me feel the best I've ever felt in my life, beautiful and confident. My mother also had a great experience, me being her only daughter, this was a once in a lifetime event for her, and she still sends messages of thanks and love to Bernadette and her team. So much love. Couldn't recommend Bernadette's work and service more highly.
