Yes, bridemaid dresses have a lot to do with setting the colour theme of the wedding.
A lot of brides have asked me how to pick the right colour for bridesmaid dresses. Well, it’s hard to give one answer that fits all. Some colours are going to be popular every year such as dark red, royal blue, black, charcoal, midnight blue, etc.
Here are a few things for your reference if you don’t have a specific colour in mind:
* Consider colour options according to different seasons of the year
Spring – baby pink/ light green/sage green / soft yellow / lalic / forest green
Summer - blue (sky blue, baby blue, royal blue) / turquoise /coral / fushia pink /
Autumn – gold / choclate / dark brown / burgundy / purple / latte / champagne / burnt orange
Winter – blue (royal blue, midnight blue) / dark red / silver / dark puple / grey / charcoal
However, there is no rule as such when it comes to colour, it’s a very personal choice so feel free to go with what looks good to you and to your bridesmaids.
* The other good way to keep up with the colour trend is to get ideas from magazines and watch out for celebrity weddings, they have the highest paid designers to help.
* Mix colours – be brave, and have fun, but also be VERY careful

Ok ladies, now you’ve got a special event to go to and want to posh up for it.
A lot of ladies asked me if they should buy the dress or hire it as our hiring prices are normally half of the buying prices.
I would normally ask: would you wear it again to another function in the next 6 months? If you get at least 2 wears out of it then it’s worth buying. It’s always good to have a formal dress in your wardrobe so that you are prepared if you get invited to an event / party unexpectedly. Sometimes it’s hard to find something you like and fits well when you are in a hurry.
However, a lot of the times, you might not want to wear the same dress again for all sort of reasons, perhaps because change of shape, taste, theme of the party/event, or perhaps your friends have all seen you in that dress already you just really want to wear something different.
So, the answer is, if the dress you are thinking of hiring is a dress that you can see yourself wear again easily in the next 6 months then buy it, otherwise you might just hire one and the money you save can get you another hired dress next time
As a general guide, our cooktail dresses (Simply Elegant range) are $200.00 each to buy, $100.00 to hire, full length gowns (A Touch of Class rang) are $270.00 each to buy, $135.00 to hire (alteration costs are extra).
Oh well, at least you’ve got options! Please don’t leave it till last minute and hoping you can just go to the mall to buy a dress that you really like, in the right colour, within your budge, and fits perfectly :)

Yesterday one of my customers said she had a disaster with her evening gown that she was going to wear for a special event this Saturday evening.
The gown she purchased was too long, so she thought her mum could do the hemming for her as she has an overlocker and sewing machine at home and she knows basic sewing. Then she told her mum the dress is 5cm too long, so her mum hemmed the dress up exactly 5cm evenly. However, when she put it on after hemming, the back is too short for a full length gown!
She came to see me and asked what I can do about it. The option for her was either wear flat shoes then I could hem the rest of the dress level at the back, or re-hem the dress to a cocktail length. She decided to go for a cocktail length as she had bought very nice shoes to go with the dress,and it worked out very well. However, that was plan B:) She could have worn it for the night in full length, then hemmed it up later for a different look for another special occasion.
So I would like to share with you all, when doing hemming for dresses, the pinning must be done while the dress is on with heels, as some people have bigger bust while some have fuller bum and some have a very arched back. So when it comes to hemming, it doesn’t necessarily mean just evenly cut the length off! My suggestion is, it’s best to leave the alterations to the professionals

Posted in Flower Girl Dresses at 12:51 pm by Administrator
Today one of my customers said she wasn’t sure what colour her flower girl should wear, the same colour as her wedding dress, or the same colour as bridesmaid dresses?
Colour is a very personal choice, however, from experience, the following “rules” work well so I thought I’d share with her:
* If your flower girl is of a younger age, she can wear the same colour as your wedding dress and work in the bridesmaid dress colour by adding a sash at the waist, or a clip on flower or bow that is made of the same colour and fabric of bridesmaid dress, or even a hair piece.
* If your flower girl is in her teens (junior bridesmaid), she can wear the same colour as your bridesmaids and work the wedding dress colour in (white, ivory, etc).
And don’t make your flower girl wear something that is not suitable for her age
