After I finished my business and fashion degree in 2022, I noticed that many people had their wedding dresses gathering dust at the back of their cupboards, unsure of what to do with them.
I decided to visit my local op shop and bought a secondhand wedding dress. I experimented to see if I could create something new with it. This was very successful so I decided to source some more.
I asked the local community on social media whether they had any wedding dresses and materials they were willing to give away to create new garments. I had an overwhelming response and received many donations. Since then, my mum and I have been creating new bridal dresses and accessories from these materials. I am so happy to now share these pieces with you!

I am not only a fashion designer but an artist. Since I can remember all I wanted to do was draw and paint, this turned into my love of fashion and wanting to own my own business and design clothes. I love to design elegant, unique designs which are often inspired by my love of flowers and the environment. In 2022, I completed a Bachelor of Business (Management) / Bachelor of Design (Fashion). Since finishing my degree I have been developing sustainable gowns and accessories with the help of my mum.
My mum is also very creative and an artist, throughout my childhood she encouraged me to be creative and taught me how to paint and sew. She has always encouraged me to follow my dreams and this business is my dream.
