Milva Carucci Designs

Milva Carucci Designs Since those early years the business has grown and taken a slightly different approach. So in late 2015, Milva Carucci Designs transpired!

With over 25 years experience, Milva prides herself in timeless, classic and feminine silhouettes presented to clients in either ready to wear collection or custom made garments perfect for racewear, standout occasion outfits or wardrobe staples. Owner and operator Milva Carucci brought her passion for dressmaking to life by opening the doors to first what was an alterations business Alterations b

y MC several years ago. Based in the charming country town of Mareeba, FNQ, Milva experienced first hand the pure frustrating and inconvenience of not finding something to build her wardrobe or something suitable for a special event. So by offering alterations, tailoring and mending services the FNQ was slowly rekindling those loved- well worn favourites and having well-fitted new additions of clothing that was both stylish and flattering. Through word-of-mouth referrals and Milva's dedication to providing a flexible and customised service to suit her clients' needs, including on the day bridal party repairs and emergency alterations, she was being approached by women all over the state to 'make them something special' for an upcoming event. Racewear, Mother's of the bride, bridesmaids, workwear, one off staple wardrobe items, it was becoming apparent that Milva's attention to detail, knowledge and pure love of providing women with a custom piece of amazingness to step into was a sort after affair! Together with Milva's creative and artistic flair for fashion and creating that custom made piece and over 25 years of experience, women will now be able to buy seasonal one-off ready to wear pieces, in addition to custom orders. So if you have an event coming up and no idea where to start with an outfit, fabric or design, contact Milva for a friendly 'fashion chat' and treat yourself to an amazing outfit that people will be commenting on for years to come!

Although Lindy and I haven’t worked together directly, she has discovered MCD through a few preloved designs.

She contacted me with such excitement before wearing her latest two and then went on to place Top 10 in FOTF in one of them, Cairns Jockey Club Carnival of Colour Race Day.

While I don’t promote preloved sales, I love seeing my designs worn and appreciated again, a beautiful reminder of the lasting value of investing in MCD.

Congratulations Lindy Launer, you looked wonderful!

They say double the trouble… but there was no trouble here, with this stylish couple taking on FOTF fiercely at every race meet they attend!

Warra Race Day brought more than double the success for Lee-Anne and Rob.

Lee-Anne Jane McDonald-Eagle looked beautifully on point in her MCD custom made dress, crafted from a standout fabric she sourced internationally. Her attention to detail continuethrough to Rob’s matching vest and lapel, bringing their colour palette together perfectly.

Their efforts were rewarded with Lee-Anne sashed Best Millinery and Best Dressed Couple, while Rob placing Runner-Up Best Dressed Gentleman.

Congratulations, Lee-Anne and Rob. You never disappoint and always present yourselves so admirably!

This young lady certainly knows her way around the racing industry.

Fashion is one of her many passions, and she certainly knows how to make her presence felt on the FOTF stage, winning numerous sashes throughout Qld and interstate.

Horse racing is also very much in her blood, having grown up surrounded by the industry, with her family involved as both horse owners and trainers. Her keen eye and knowledge have placed her in the spotlight as the mounting yard caller, sharing her race tips with Cairns Jockey Club over the past few years.

Dannielle is another client who loves the MCD custom made process and seeing her vision come to life. Her stunning dress, created from fabric she sourced, was perfect for the Carnival of Colour, bright, fun and full of personality, just like her.

Congratulations Dannielle Atkinson on another year and a job so beautifully done. I’m sure many racegoers walked away as winners thanks to your knowledgeable tips!

Thank you for your continued trust, support and appreciation of MCD.

Susan looked absolutely striking in her MCD custom made dress, crafted from a beautiful silk featuring a distinct and colourful stripe.

Susan found this stunning fabric herself and knew exactly the style she wanted. With such a bold stripe and vibrant colour palette, careful pattern placement was key to showcasing the fabric and creating the striking finished look.

Susan is no stranger to the FOTF centre stage and is certainly one lady who never goes unnoticed. She looked right at home at the Cairns Jockey Club Carnival of Colour Race Day.

Thank you Susan Lamari, for always trusting me with the custom made process and for bringing your MCD dresses to life so perfectly and beautifully.

Maria is another beautiful client who shares a love for both custom made fashion and competing in FOTF.

With her keen eye for detail and a clear understanding of the colours and styles she feels most confident in, it certainly showed in her stunning outfit for the Cairns Jockey Club Carnival of Colour Race Day.

Maria Barry sourced the beautiful fabric, and together, her custom MCD style was born.

Thank you, Maria, for trusting me with your vision and bringing your dress to life so beautifully.

Amy’s love for FOTF fashion has taken her near, far and even overseas, collecting a few well-deserved sashes along the way.

She understands the creativity and thought that go into a custom made design and the joy of wearing something created especially for her.

For the Cairns Jockey Club Red Beret Carnival of Colour race day, Amy chose a stunning embroidered organza that had caught her eye from a previous MCD creation. Together, we made it her own with a vibrant red underlay and a style filled with colour, movement and fun.

Amy certainly stood out beautifully among a fierce line-up on the day.

Thank you, Amy Byrnes for your continued support of the MCD label, your appreciation and trust, and for always bringing every outfit to life so beautifully.

What a weekend of fashion, fun and a carnival of colour! ❤️🌈

MCD was certainly on show throughout the Cairns Jockey Club Red Beret Cairns Cup Race Weekend, with so many of my beautiful clients taking centre stage in their custom made creations.

The Gordon Gin High Tea started the weekend on a high, with my stunning client Susan Lamari looking perfectly on point and taking home Runner-Up Best Millinery.

The wins kept coming on race day, with clients placing in the Top 10 and the wonderful Tina Cahill, taking out Best Dressed Lady of the Day! Tina was a standout in her vibrant MCD custom made top and skirt, a style she has truly come to love.

My beautiful clients Amy Byrnes Maria Barry & Dannielle Atkinson , no strangers to MCD custom made, all looked incredible, while Lindy Launer rocking her much loved preloved dresses.

Congratulations, Ladies. You should all be every bit as proud as I am. Knowing the confidence and joy my creations bring you is the greatest reward.❤️

My only regret is that I wasn’t there in person this year, but you all made me feel as though I was right there beside you. ❤️
