Hi all,
I'm looking for a good custom made dress for my wife
It doesn't have to be crazy, but I want something good quality
Made to her sizes, colour and style
Can I please get some recommendations
Signed a lost guy
EDIT: please I'm just asking from people that have used custom dress services
I mean measure her, like a lot of custom dress places ask
Pregnancy?
is she going to get bigger
Time to cut down those cheap Dominos.
Make the dots smaller or just use less of them on each piece?
Sharing your location might help.
Rural, outside of act by 3hr
Perfect, thank you!
Wagga Wagga? I hardly know her
Do you know her taste in clothing? I can see a disaster waiting to happen here.
Yes I do lol
Can someone provide some real feedback into places they have used with good results 🤷‍♂️
In that case, you can take her to an alterations place and ask them to measure her up accurately and pay for that service. Usually the ones run out of their house/garage are happy to do this. Take the measurements to any dress maker, including Alibaba ones, and they'll whip up something nice to your budget. Once it arrives, you go back to that alternations place to tailor final bits. That's what a lot of people do.
Thank you very much for the information đź¤

Nothing has been good on the telly. I am looking forward to this developing story.
Duckie is lol
My mother is a dress maker. I'd suggest your wife find a dress maker in her area. If I were you the only input I would have is paying. Leave it all up to your wife!
Or better yet, pay the price the dress maker charges regardless of race.
Can you please send me your mother's website so I can compare?

LOL, you're asking him for his mum's details after you've just told everybody that you're looking for somebody to exploit.
Does that seem a bit weird to you?
Yeah true, but I want to pay indian wages not Aussie wages
Advertise (discreetly) for a dressmaker who is prepared to be exploited and otherwise to not be valued for their skills, abilities, time or just being a human being?
Travel to India and see if there is anybody you could exploit there?
Do you have a local TAFE or Uni offering design courses that may have students that could help you out as part of their course work?
Google & DYI - they teach kids to sew in home economics at school. Surely there's a you tube clip or udemy course out there. See how that works out for you.
Some posh boutiques offer free or low cost alteration services for their really expensive garments that they sell. Sure, you're paying a squillion for the garments, but hey, the alterations are at Indian wages… try bridal wear type stores, school prom formal stores.
school prom
We don't need that kind of seppo talk here.
@Muppet Detector: Couldn’t see “social” on the website. “Social” was what we called the school dance. There were a lot of ethnic slurs bandied around in my day but social wasn’t one of them.
@try2bhelpful: You upvoted the post with the derogatory term for American.

In my day it was a school formal, but my kids all had school proms. Never heard the term social, myself.
@Muppet Detector: It is rhyming slang. It stands for Septic Tank - Yank. Given American’s are by no stretch of the imagination a particular ethnicity then you are barking up the wrong tree.
@try2bhelpful: It's a derogatory term classified as an ethnic slur. See link or google definition. No barking at any trees here.
Even referring to them as Septic Tanks sounds lovely, eh?
But you do you.
@Muppet Detector: It is cockney rhyming slang. If you have an issue with it then go talk to the cockneys. Google and Wiki aren’t the defining elements of what constitutes an ethnic slur. I suspect in a court of law you wouldn’t get a conviction for defamation or hate crimes for using it.
@try2bhelpful: That's because "social" is not a slur, you haven't done anything wrong.
They probably thought they were talking to ten percent (both of your names begin with t, so confusing!) and then just back peddled rather than admit they'd made a mistake (which I can understand, if Muppet had to admit to all the mistakes they made on here they'd overtake JV on comment count alone).
@tenpercent: Yeah, like you've never had a Coke, been to a McDonalds or KFC or used any other number of things that we import from USA.

Where do you think the Internet, telephones, GPS, personal computers, rubber for tyres, sewing machines and sew so on, originated?
Hypocrite.
Prolly never used Google either. /s
EDIT: a couple more USA inventions that I bet you've never used either:- ballpoint pen, email, microwave oven, jeans & viagra.
Seems a bit vague to me .. has she looked at just picking a dress off the rack she likes and just getting it tailored?
It will be present, but she's knows about it since I measured her
Take her on a holiday to Hoi An!
But make sure she can swim :)

A Custom Made Dress for My Wife
Customs are more interested in enforcing laws on imported and exported goods, collecting duties and taxes, and ensuring public safety by screening for illegal or harmful items.
They rarely make dresses.
Unless they want to dress her down for doing something illegal.
A Custom Made Dress for My Wife
Seems like a fair trade but I already have a wife.
If the OP wants to wear the dress himself, he may need to seek out more discreet service providers though there are apparently stores and services that cater respectfully to trans gender requirements, fetishes such as cross dressing or fancy dress costume type stores.
The best has to be local, where she can get measured. But since you live rural, you might have to drive at least twice. Or fly.
Sadly in Oz there are not many tailors anymore, except wedding gowns and men suit. Even if you might find one, they will ve expensive, and the design would be simple.
You might get better results from your local FB group.
What most people do nowadays is to buy readymade, and go to a good alteration person.
It'd be more stylish….
What do you mean sizes? For example, is she going to get bigger for a while then smaller again?
