Couture Creations by Courtney

• Custom made wedding gown. Designed with the client from inspiration images, patterned to her measurements, built as a mock-up for fitting, then made in the chosen fabrics over a third and fourth appointment.
• Custom made bridesmaid dress. Made to measure to the client's design.
• Custom made special occasion wear — price quoted on enquiry. Price depends on style of dress, fabric and embellishments; no-obligation quotes are offered.
• Custom made costumes — price quoted on enquiry. Costumes for dance, film and television, including aerial and circus performance costume.

• The studio is open by appointment only and undertakes to respond to requests within 24 hours.
• It is located in North Geelong; the exact address is sent when a consultation is booked.
• Bridal alterations can be booked up to six months in advance, but the first alterations appointment should be around four to six weeks before the wedding date.
• Custom work should be booked around six months in advance to avoid disappointment, though rush orders can be done for a small fee.
• For a first custom appointment, bring inspiration images and ideas, and any fabric already purchased.
• For a first alterations appointment, bring the garment and everything intended to be worn with it — for a wedding gown that means shapewear, veil and shoes, so the hem can be judged correctly.
• At the first alterations appointment the garment is tried on and all alterations marked; the work is complete by the second appointment.
• The custom process runs to roughly four appointments: design, mock-up fitting, then construction in the chosen fabrics.

• Couture Creations by Courtney — The studio's own label, previously trading as Miss Nee Creations.

• Embrace Bridal Boutique — Not stocked. The Geelong boutique that approached Courtney to be its recommended alterations specialist.

• Couture Creations by Courtney is a made-to-measure and alterations studio in North Geelong, Victoria, run by Courtney Mason and previously trading as Miss Nee Creations. Raised in country south-west Victoria, she discovered sewing in secondary school textiles and designed a Year 12 gown inspired by the endangered Mission Blue Butterfly, hand-dyed, embellished and wired to represent the butterfly's wings and habitat, which took top marks and won the 2012 Student Spotlight Design Awards. She completed an Advanced Diploma of Applied Fashion Design and Technology at The Gordon, graduating in 2015 as Most Outstanding Student, then moved to Melbourne to work in a dance and costume fabric store, which led to a Costume Assistant role on the television series Wentworth and subsequent work across several Australian film and television costume departments. She launched her own business to make garments for clients alongside costume work, and in June 2019 attended the Paris American Academy's summer school to refine couture technique, corsetry and bustiers. On returning she was approached by Embrace Bridal Boutique to be their recommended alterations specialist. The studio makes custom bridal, debutante, formal and special occasion wear and costumes for dance, film and television, and the majority of its alterations work is bridal and bridesmaid gowns. Custom wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses. It works by appointment only from North Geelong, sending the exact address on booking, and undertakes to respond to enquiries within 24 hours.
