Fiona Mauchan Bridal Couture
Beauty in Cape Town

Your wedding dress may be the most important dress you will ever wear, so it should celebrate your personal style and beauty. For brides-to-be my demi-couture approach to bridal wear offers the luxury and indulgence of a hand crafted couture garment, but with the ease and convenience of buying a ready-to-wear wedding dress.
Follow me on my blog as I create unique and stylish one-off wedding dresses and bridal gowns from my studio in Cape Town. Finding a one-of-a-kind hand crafted wedding dress does not necessarily require commitment to the process of a custom made dress. If you fall in love with one of my designs I will fit and alter it to your personal specifications and will not reproduce it again for any other bride.

Her passion for home crafts inspired me to experiment with different techniques and materials, from lace making to book-binding, all of which have added to my skills as a dressmaker. Now, with 6 years experience working in Contemporary Art galleries my approach to bridal wear instinctively incorporates this visual language, sophistication and spirit of experimentation. After your consultation a mood board with three custom designs options will be sent to you by email. The mock will be constructed from an inexpensive fabric that best mimics the nature of the final fabric to be used. We will not only need these to cut the hem of your dress, but it is probably a good idea wear your shoes in! My collection offers the luxury and indulgence of a hand crafted couture garment, but with the ease and convenience of buying a ready-to-wear wedding dress. It is a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down for most occasions and is perfect for your engagement shoot or bridal shower! Having your wedding dress custom made is a special process which allows you the client the opportunity of being involved in the design. Together, with my guidance and vision, we will create a dress inspired by your ideas. If you have purchased a dress off-the-rack or online it will almost certainly require professional alterations to achieve a better fit. Cost: The cost of alterations varies greatly depending on the style of the dress and the extent of the alterations. The remaining amount is due before collection of the finished garment.
