The “Asti Alicia” Approach
At Asti Alicia, every wedding dress begins with the person wearing it.
Rather than choosing from a standard collection, we work with you to develop a design that reflects your personal style, your proportions and the feeling you want your wedding day to have.
As an independent Melbourne fashion designer and dressmaker, Asti is involved throughout the entire process. From the initial design and fabric selection through to pattern making, construction and fittings. This allows each gown to be thoughtfully developed and refined along the way, rather than simply off the rack and altered to fit.
Our approach is particularly suited to brides who want something personal and a little different from what they might find in a traditional bridal boutique.
Our most FAQ is “Will I need alterations?”
No.
Alterations can be the curveball that tarnishes your wedding dress experience, sometimes costing more than the dress itself.
Our dressmaking process is made completely custom to your measurements and the process includes ensuring your garment fits you perfectly at pickup.

“The whole process was a dream! For someone being nervous and not 100% sure exactly what they wanted, you nailed it and were so accommodating, understanding and honestly created the dress of my dreams. You provided a very calm environment, which made the whole process a whole lot less stressful and fun. Honestly could not fault anything.”
