Brittney Paige Couture is a made-to-measure bridal studio on Hobart’s Eastern Shore. Its brief is a rebuke to the rack: “to work with clients to achieve something you can’t just pick up off a rack in a store, to create something one of a kind.”
No labels stocked — every gown is Brittney’s own, cut to the bride. Her published client work runs from a stretch-satin gown with a pearl and crystal embroidered back to a pale pink tea-length dress with hand-sewn Swarovski crystals, and a house piece in velvet flocked Australian leather with satin-backed crepe. She also makes and sells her own veils, in nine published lengths from a 33cm mini to a 400cm royal.
The bride who has looked and not found it. It is also, unusually, the right studio for an heirloom: one published commission took a grandmother’s gown that had already been worn by the bride’s mother, and — because the bride was much taller — remade it entirely, using the original lace for a new bodice over a Duchess satin skirt, with enough fabric left to make her daughter a matching flower girl dress. Four generations, one gown.
Book six months ahead for custom work; rush orders are possible for a fee if the studio’s workload allows. Alterations need a minimum of six weeks before the event, and she takes them on any gown — bridal, bridesmaid, mother of the bride or groom, debutante — up to a full dress re-make. Quotes are obligation-free with no upfront fee for a first consultation, and enquiries are answered within 12 hours. By appointment, with online booking for Tasmanian clients.
The training behind it. Top marks in Fashion Design and Technology at Gordon TAFE in 2015, then internships with Alex Perry and Linda Britten. In 2016 the Paris American Academy in Paris, learning traditional couture technique and the Madame Grès draping method; then six months with Phillipa Lepley in Chelsea, London. Back in Melbourne she worked as a cutter for a renowned bridal designer and rose to assistant production manager, and in 2019 returned to Paris specifically to study corsetry and bustiers. That is an unusual CV — and gowns.
