The Bespoke Dress by Mia La Vida
Good Things Take Time…
…that you, your love story and your wedding deserve. A bespoke wedding dress allows you to revel in the moment and enjoy the excitement leading up to your big day. No need to order something last minute, hoping it fits or looks a little different in person. We place you at the heart of the process by offering multiple consultations, inviting you to see iterations, touch fabrics and compare swatches. This way, you’ll know exactly how you’ll feel in your dream design, like Villy, one of our recent clients.
“I’m so happy with the dress Tanya made—it’s honestly better than anything I could have imagined. She was so patient and really took the time to work with me to make sure everything was just right.” – Villy, 2025 bride
Fabrics and Fits You Can Trust
We work with a handful of trusted suppliers to source our fabrics and embellishments. Silk, whisper-soft tulle, fine lace and fluffy feathers are just some of the details that we hand-select to ensure outstanding quality. The final finishing touches are also handled with the same level of care and attention: sequins are always laid flat and close for ample shine and buttons are always self-covered for a seamless look.
“From the very beginning, Tanya was able to capture the style and effect I wanted. She was helpful and extremely knowledgeable, and I felt able to trust her ideas completely. I have recommended her to so many people. I’ll definitely continue to do so!” – Celeste, 2025 bride
One Size Doesn’t Fit All
The fit can easily make or break a garment, so we meticulously tailor the pattern to flatter and highlight your every curve. Through repeat fittings, we build a special confidence that prioritises you over trends or overproduction – so we can get to know you, and what you feel the most incredible in. More embellishments to highlight your collarbone? Concealed pockets? A corset that hugs your waist flawlessly? A soft ivory over crisp white to match your skin tone? We’ve got it, down to the most subtle accents.
“I met with several other studios before choosing Tanya. She was very patient with any tweaking and altering from me (being a bossy bride), and every meeting was a delight. The final dress was everything that I wanted, a structured design which wasn’t straight forward but created by them perfectly with my ideal chosen material and a bespoke veil.” – Lily, 2025 bride
