Emily Alice Bespoke

Emily Alice Bespoke Bridal and event dresses, made in NZ. You choose your style elements, we make to your measurements. How do I order? How long will it take?

We have a downloadable form that is on our home page. I have made it interactive so you can fill it in on a device (using Adobe Acrobat), or feel free to print out and fill in by hand. Email through your completed form to [email protected]
Once I receive the form, I will send you through an invoice for your order. It takes a minimum 50% deposit to lock in your order and then the rest is

due once your order is made. Dresses take 8-10 weeks from order confirmation. If you need your order sooner, please get in touch and I will see what is possible. Sizing

Orders are made to your body measurements: these are added to your order form.
*You can measure yourself: with a tape measure, measure round your bust, waist (smallest part) and hip (the largest part which is usually round your bottom) with the tape measure flat against your body (no slack in the tape measure but not pulling too tight)
*You can also check your local tailor as they may be able to take your measurements for you. Fabrics & Colours

Some fabrics I offer are always available: these are marked with a star: *
Other fabrics are subject to availability, don't miss out! If you have a special fabric or colour request for one of our core designs, please email and I can see what is available. Tailoring

My designs are semi-fitted as they are made to your given bust/waist/hip measurements. If you would like me to fully tailor your dress to you, I can do this at my Christchurch studio during the week. This will require in-person fittings and will have an extra cost of $500 (as this requires more time, pattern-work and 1-2 mock-ups). If you are unable to travel to my studio, you are more than welcome to take your new dress to a local tailor
*No liability for any issues or repair if any alterations are made by a third party. Custom Made

Full custom designs are available. I only take on a small number of these, so I recommend getting in touch early. Check out my custom portfolio to see other designs I have made. Shipping

Orders are shipped via NZ Post with tracking, the link will be sent to you. Once a parcel is with NZ Post, it lies in their hands. If there are any delays or issues, please get in touch with NZ Post first. Payment Info

Payment to be made by bank transfer. Ensure your name and invoice number are on your payment information so I can match it to your order. Orders are sent out once payment balance is cleared.

Scrap Scrunchies: a way to give back, help reduce fabric offcut waste and look cute ♥️🩶

$10 a scrunchie and $3 from each will be donated to charity. Every purchase donation will go to Pet Refuge till the end of March.

Currently I have 3 styles, but more will be available over time.
Looking at the poll results, the majority of you love a mystery bag, and a few wanted the option to choose. So I shall offer both.

To order scrunchies: DM or email me, you can choose the style or go for mystery. Pick up available, or postage from $6.

Presenting: the .wood bow dress!

This one was a big project, but one I have wanted to do for a while now.
48 pattern pieces that cut out into 187 fabric pieces to stitch together, systemically into this absolute beauty.
It's a lesson in patience and care, but I enjoyed every moment and have already got two more planned and ready to cut out!!! ✂️🧵👗

A cheeky little project for myself, in-between the clientwork: a blue linen sunhat ☀️
The fusing wasn't quite holding the front edge out enough, so I fed through lightweight garden wire along the outer edge to hold away from my face. Unofficial tip of the industry!
Swipe to see the fun lining I added, and I stitched it all cleanly so it's reversible!
