About

Overview & Vibe

Envious Bridal & Formal is a custom-made specialist in Subiaco, founded by Yen after her own search for a wedding dress. Every one of its 400-odd gowns is its own label, and the proposition is stated plainly: bespoke quality at an affordable price. The bridal side is a by-appointment studio; ball and formal dresses are sold online.

Dress Styles & Designers

153 wedding dresses, all Envious’ own label, tagged by style so a bride can shop by shape or fabric: A-line, ball gown, mermaid, sheath, lace, tulle, chiffon, satin, silk, off-the-shoulder, long sleeve, low back, backless, illusion and minimalist. Two categories are unusual enough to name — a Colour Wedding Dresses range and a set of black wedding dresses, alongside bohemian and beach collections and a mini-dress range. Bridesmaid and formal wear run to another 230-odd pieces.

Ideal For

The plus-size bride, and the bride who does not want white. The published size ladder runs AU XS/6 to 6XL/26 with the surcharge for each larger size stated up front rather than quoted on request, and a fully custom size is offered as a priced option. Between that, the colour and black ranges, and gowns this is an unusually accessible range on both size and budget.

The Need-to-Knows

Bridal and bridesmaid services are by appointment; ball and formal dresses are not available to try in store at all and are sold exclusively online. A custom gown runs a published six-step process — design consultation, fabric selection, in-production review, first fitting, adjustments, final fitting — on a typical timeline of four to eight months, with rush options depending on the design. Having the dress made to exact body measurements rather than a standard size is available for an additional charge. The store is candid that custom is not the right route if you want a gown.

Standout Feature

Size pricing is published, not negotiated. XL/16 adds 3XL/18 adds 4XL/20 adds 5XL/22 adds and 6XL/24 adds — and a custom size adds. Most bridal retailers make a plus-size bride ask what her size will.

    Dress Experience

    • Bridal and bridesmaid appointments are held at the Subiaco studio and must be booked; the store is not open for walk-ins, and ball and formal dresses cannot be tried on at all as they are sold exclusively online. A custom gown follows a published six-step process: design consultation, fabric selection, an in-production review, a first fitting, adjustments and alterations, then a final fitting. The typical custom timeline is four to eight months, with rush options depending on the design. Fabric, lace and colour are all chosen by the bride, and the gown can be made to her exact body measurements from the start rather than to a standard size, for an additional charge. The store is unusually direct about when custom is the wrong choice, stating it is not suitable for a bride who wants a gown.
