About

Overview & Vibe

Kerry Armatas is a dressmaker's studio on Springvale Road in Melbourne's south-east, where gowns are cut and made rather than pulled off a rack. Kerry has 27 years in the trade and works in couture sewing techniques; the studio counts 754 gowns made to date.

Dress Styles & Designers

Everything is made for the client. The studio works from silks and Italian lace through to simpler classic fabrics, and covers the whole wedding party — bridal gowns, bridesmaids, mother of the bride and groom, flower girls, debutante and school-formal dresses. Its own line is “from unique couture gowns to simple, classic styles”.

Ideal For

A bride who has a picture in her head and no shop that stocks it, and a bride who is hard to fit — the studio describes its custom work as “from plus-size to petites”. It also alters gowns bought elsewhere, so it is worth knowing about even if you buy your dress somewhere else.

The Need-to-Knows

Everything runs by appointment, and the hours are unusually generous — Monday to Thursday 9am to 8pm, Friday 9am to 1pm, Saturday 9am to 3pm, with after-hours available. Allow up to six months: the studio warns that design time depends on the fabrics your gown needs. No prices are published, so ask for a quote at the first consultation. There are samples in the studio to look at while you settle on colour and style.

Standout Feature

A design consultation built around what you bring in. The studio invites you to arrive with ideas, images and photographs and works from those, rather than starting from a catalogue.
