Custom Christening GownsI specialise in transforming wedding dresses into heirloom christening gowns. Send me a close up picture of your dress, plus any wedding pictures, as well as a general idea of what you want for a christening gown(traditional long gowns, or something more modern).
Each dress will have to be picked apart with care, lace and beading taken off and possibly washed, design details worked out before cutting out. I try to preserve as many original elements of the dress as possible, in order to convert it into something truly extraordinary. Much of the dress will be handsewn with couture techniques. There is also an option to add extra trims and embellishments like beading, applique and lace (this can be an extra $50-$120). I take between 10 to 20 hours to make each dress, sometimes more, at $25/hour depending on the style and the complexity of the wedding dress and christening gown. |
I also make bonnets ($50), headbands ($45), booties ($55), personalised stole ($40), maternity or photoshoot sashes ($50).
I can also do first communion gowns, or a special occasion dress for a photoshoot for an older child. If you have any ideas for other wedding keepsakes, like show cushions or hankies, we can work something out as well!
You will have to courier the dress to me in Adelaide. I will need a minimum of 6-8 weeks for each dress to be completed. Please book a spot early to ensure that the dress arrives in time for the christening. Courier fees back to you is $30 Australia-wide insured.

This beautiful bride had 3 dresses all worn at the wedding and reception that she wanted to transform into a christening gown. I used elements from all the dresses to create this stunning heirloom.

OMG OMG OMG Joyce my Christening Gown you expertly handcrafted from my wedding dress is nothing short of AMAZING! I have showed all the family and everyone is soooo impressed!. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. The gown shows the care, time, love and expertise you have put into the gown, booties and bonnet. It was beautifully packaged and very emotional when I opened it. It fits my daughter perfectly! I am in awe of you and your talents, and will treasure my coverted wedding dress - now heirloom christening gowns for my lifetime, and cannot wait to have any future children and grandchildren christened in the same gown. You will forever hold a place in my heart, and I will continue to recommend you and your amazing talents to everyone I know. I will be sending you some professional pics from the photoshoot when I get them back. xxx -Donna S.
