Bespoke Gowns
A dress that’s perfectly ‘you’
CUSTOM DESIGN for the bride who’s got her heart set on a bespoke wedding dress. Together we design your one-off gown.
Our initial consultation* includes all of the Bridal Styling aspects.
- Your figure, body shape and proportions
- Ideal styles for your figure
- Your inspirations and how we can translate those into your perfect wedding dress
Once we move into the Design phase (normally 2-3 weeks) I begin to create your unique Story Board and illustrated Bridal Gown designs.
My exclusive "Paper Doll System" creates a virtual image of you in your Custom JRW Designs.
We collaborate over the design until it’s exactly as you imagined it would be.
Once the dress design is perfect for you, we take measurements and select the best fabrics for your style and theme.
Then you sit back and cherish the experience as your once in a lifetime dress comes to life.
*Includes
An illustrated Custom Design (or two) of your ideal gown.
For our Couture Custom brides we offer two high-end labels. The PEARL LABEL ($4000 - 6000) and the DIAMOND LABEL ($6000 upwards).
-JRW COLLECTIONS-
Made to Measure
In September 2021 we launched our debut Separates Collection, with the emphasis being on sustainability and versatility for your wedding outfit.
The entire Collection is 'mix and match', giving you the choice of your favourite bodice to your perfect skirt.
The Separates Collection also allows you to 'change it up' if you're planning a smaller wedding now and a bigger one later! Or if you love the idea of wearing the bodice with your fav pair of jeans for many years after the BIG day!
The Collection is named after woman that have inspired me and is now available through our Alkimos Home Studio or at our Perth stockist Bridal by Aubrey Rose.
(Prices range from $2140 - $3300)

“I approached Joanne because I needed help to capture the kind of dress that would match my style and body type. We brainstormed a few ideas together and she was able to come up with a clearer idea via a comprehensive Mood board. This allowed me to visualize what could fit best. My interaction was very easy and friendly with her and I would recommend her services to anyone who is looking to find “the" dress." - Elisabeth.

ILLUSTRATIONS
As a creative soul, one of my joys is when I am designing or illustrating.
This passion has inspired me to offer an illustration service to brides.
This is proving to be a perfect gift from your Mum or bridesmaids on the Big Day, alternatively as a Wedding Day gift voucher.
"Robyn absolutely loves her illustration and has it in their front hallway...thank you for all you did to make Robyn's day so special." - Sharon, Mother-of-the-bride.
