Thank you thank you thank you

I cannot thank Shuchi & Eva from d'Italia enough. 6 months into engaging a local dressmaker I was let down when he said he couldn't proceed due to personal reasons and left me with material but no dress or even a complete design. A friend suggested d'Italia and from the moment I phoned and spoke to Shuchi she put my mind at rest and had everything planned within half an hour. An appointment the next day, material ordered and sourced at the first appointment, a dressmaker contacted and booked in and an appointment for her 2 days later and the designer at d'Italia was on hand to draw the design to suit my body and discuss variations.
I left with a bag with my design to take to the dressmaker and more importantly absolute confidence that I had struck it lucky when I met Shuchi. She assured me from the first point of contact that d'Italia and the team would make sure that they would do everything in their power to ensure my dress was ready in time. I only had 12 weeks to get my dress made. Nothing about the process with Shuchi was difficult. d'Italia had a huge range of material for me to choose from and with guidance from Shuchi the choice was perfect for my dress. The dressmaker that Shuchi suggested for me was so delightful and talented. Eva Tomala you are a magician with your hands and experience in making a design come to life. You will also now be my friend for life! Yes we are catching up for lunch. Again so re-assuring and you made everything so easy with my dress, my hobby's suit and the bridal party alterations. All within a 12 week timeframe. The team was so accommodating and professional and I would recommend to all future brides.

Shuchi and the team at D’italia were incredible! I had tried quite a few dresses on prior to visiting D’italia and always walked away feeling disappointed! I had seen the ‘Scarlett’ gown from the moment I started looking at wedding dresses but wanted to try others on rather than going straight to the first dress I saw, as soon as I tried the Scarlett gown on I knew it was the one! The whole process was seamless and I couldn’t recommend the team at D’Italia high enough! Eva the dressmaker was a delight to work with also! My wedding day was complete because of my Scarlett gown and I have never received so many compliments in my life!! Thank you ladies so much xx

The d’Italia team made the process of creating my very own bespoke party dress to wear on the evening of my wedding an absolute dream turned into reality. It was great to make a contribution to my dress and see the journey of its creation from start to finish. Selecting my very own fabrics was a special and memorable process, as was being paired with my dressmaker, Eva. Eva and the team were meticulous and ensured the process was very enjoyable. The end result was a dress that represented elegance, glamour and fun - exactly what I wanted! Thank you d’Italia for creating the dress of my dreams, I will always look back on memories of the day with a very big smile.

Together with my Mother, we purchased fabric from D’italia for my daughter’s wedding in Italy last month. The wedding had been postponed several times since 2020.
I discovered D’Italia on social media and went to the boutique November 2020. My initial impression was that D’italia would create the two outfits I had photos of; it was the reason I went to D’italia. I was very happy with the service provided in purchasing fabrics and measurements being taken. Pala was very helpful and grasped the idea of the look desired of the two outfits. I was then told dressmakers would be sourced to which I said to Pala that I thought D’italia would be creating the outfits. I was told they were too busy; two separate dressmakers at opposite ends of where my mother and I live were sourced. I was told by Pala the dates we could expect to go for initial appointment and also the pickup date of outfit - about two to three weeks prior to our departure date from Australia to Italy on 13th May, 2022.
My Mother was fortunate to be allocated a wonderful lady and dressmaker Elka, everything went to plan- initial measurements and discussion appointment and three further for trying the outfit which was beautiful.

Sadly, I was allocated Vicki. Nothing went to
plan and she was very unreliable. Much anxiety on my part and stress of not having my outfit at the twelve days prior to departure. I should have acted on my first instinct when I went for first fitting and only one section of the outfit was prepared “in a mock fabric”! From then until 12 days prior to departure I did not have one fitting. In despair I contacted D’italia (I should have done so much earlier I know that now) Pala was very understanding thankfully.
The week prior to departure I had no outfit and was forced to make other arrangements. What upset me more were the lies, totally unjustified.
I was grateful a kind person and dressmaker upon hearing of my plight - came to my rescue. I collected my outfit late evening prior to departure the following day. It was a valuable lesson learnt and sadly it did impact on me greatly until I was at the wedding and felt wonderful in my outfit. I highly recommend D’italia; whether their fabric is expensive or not, I don’t know except that I loved the fabrics chosen. Please future customers just be aware of the dressmaker you are allocated.

My wedding dress experience with D'Italia was truly the best part of planning our wedding day. Thanks to D'Italia, I really felt like a confident and beautiful bride.
Before I had met D'Italia and I started looking for my wedding dress I had browsed boutiques and had consultations with Melbourne designers however my dream dress seemed unobtainable due to various factors (i.e. different vision to the designer, quality of fabrics, price, etc).
Then I had an appointment with D'Italia and all of that changed. I took in all of my inspiration images and selected fabrics that I loved from their exquisite range of handmade laces and real silks. Then my consultant Shuchi sketched my dream dress. She knew exactly what I wanted! Subsequently I met one of D'Italia's couturiers and the process of creating my gown begun. It was the most beautiful process and I am so grateful to have had this once in a lifetime experience. The quality of skill, craftsmanship and service that I received was the real couture experience, just like having a couture gown made in Paris.
My dress was truly made for me, and it is made out of the best fabrics and the best skill you can find. I have never felt so special in my life. Thank you D'Italia for making my dream dress come true and adding to the magic of my wedding day.

I was so thrilled to meet with the team at d'Italia after an internet search and a recommendation from a colleague. The team at d'Italia really helped my vision come to life. I had tried on so many dresses and then knew in my mind what I wanted but to have it come to life in the store and then with the dress maker was magic! The team could see how my dress fit with our venue and the overall style of our vintage glamour vibe. I got a stunning result and at a great price too. Thankyou d'Italia

My whole experience with Ditalia was fantastic! They were able to find the exact fabric I was looking for and understood the style i was trying to achieve. I was nervous in the beginning about whether my dress would turn out how I imagined, but after meeting my dressmaker I was totally at ease. I knew I would would leave with my dream dress, which I did! My wedding dress was EXACTLY how I had pictured in my mind, I honestly couldn't have been happier.
Highly recommend to all future brides who are looking for genuine couture wedding dresses at affordable prices!!

I had the most amazing experience with d'Italia. After months of trying on dresses and speaking with designers, I was beginnging to fear that I would have to compromise on my dream dress, but then I cam across d'Italia and `my luck changed.
From the moment I walked in to d'Italia, I knew I was in the right place. The staff in store are so lovely and helpful. Not only did the reassure me my dream dress was achieveable, they even had the exact lace I was after. Ithen met my couture designer Dragana and I was blown away with her work. Dragana not only worked with me to bring my dream to life, she listed to me and involved me in the process and none of my crazy ideas were too hard for her accomplish. Dragana was able to pull all of my ideas together and the final product was better than I could have ever imagined.
I highly highly recommend d'Italia, I know you will be as impressed as I was

What an amazing and personal experience. Being able to ask questions about not only my taste and thoughts and dreams, but being able to make decisions one at a time that speak to who I am as a person and what I love was so special. Pala was awesome in giving the right balance of advice and space to make my own mind up. And Mary was the most wonderful person in making both my and my mum's dress and is now a life-long friend.
Thank you D'Italia, please keep blessing other brides in your service :D
