25.01.2022 Ever wondered what goes into a custom designed and made wedding dress? Here is an insight into Lea’s custom gown from first fitting, to final fitting, to her big day. Lea’s experience does differ to the normal bride as we went into fittings without a clear direction and wanted to play around with design ideas during the fitting stages as there were a number of elements we wanted to explore. Going through a range of fittings in calico we were able to messily drape design conc...epts and get a grasp on what design elements would work best for Lea and her style. The end product - a fitted gown with an open back, an off the shoulder neckline with a draped feature on one arm and a large billowy sleeve on the other. Lea’s dress incorporated 3 different laces, pearls, feathers and a lot of hand appliqué to get the desired finish and overall soft feel for her gown. It is not always a picture perfect process, and generally looks quite messy, but it is all worth it for the final product fit perfectly and styled to the clients body. A stunning dress on an equally stunning bride. Thank you Lea, what a pleasure it was to work on this dress with you. Take a look at how this design developed from start to finish. "I’m sure all brides can relate - planning a wedding can be quite stressful. When it came to my dress, this was the one thing I knew I didn’t have to worry about, even whilst living interstate. I knew I was in good hands and I just knew it would be perfect. From the bottom of my heart - thank you so much, Matilda, for creating my masterpiece of a dress and helping to make me feel so beautiful on my special day! Lea Palmer

25.01.2022 Congratulations Mr & Mrs Booth. Loved working with Karli on her custom wedding dress, doesn’t she look splendid.

24.01.2022 Still obsessing over Amy in her custom midi length wedding dress. Just perfection. #matildaalegria #matildaalegriabride

23.01.2022 Fun fact about Sarah’s wedding dress - She actually did not see what her dress looked like till only 3 days out from her wedding. She had just returned from a month long holiday and had left with only her final toile fitting having taken place, which was rather ill fitting at that time. Sarah had no sneak peeks while away and no idea about beading placement or finishing’s. Luckily, she loved it. Could you hold out seeing your wedding dress till 3 days before?

22.01.2022 Introducing Mrs Palmer. I have no words. This photo says it all. #matildaalegria

21.01.2022 Well how exciting is this!! Although social distancing measures must still apply, this is such an exciting step for brides and grooms in the Territory. For the Matilda Alegria studio, this means design consultations can be done in person again, and very soon fittings can take place. Woohoo.... So, if you’re searching for your dress be sure to get in touch to book in a design consult. Cannot wait to get back to working with clients and designing their dresses. Big love to all.

19.01.2022 We have a love for this dress and this bride like you couldn’t imagine. What an honour it was designing this non traditional wedding dress for Sarah. Matilda opt for a more boho meets Morocco design - Complete with silk, meters of soft tulle, Swarovski crystals and beads, this dress sure sounds like a traditional gown, but the design, colour palette and placement of the beads bring a very distinctive edge unlike any other. Thank you Sarah, for taking a chance on this design ... and wearing it with such pride. Image: Photography by Hels

18.01.2022 Welcome 2020. Seeing as it is the start of the new year we thought best to reintroduce the woman behind the brand Matilda Alegria. Matilda is a trained fashion designer who specialises in custom one off designs for clients. With a back catalogue of some impressive wedding dresses, ball gowns, tailored staples and more she certainly understands woman's bodies in all shapes and sizes. Not only does Matilda design, she is also skilled in the areas of pattern drafting and tail...oring. This means each custom design is drafted, fit and construct right here in Darwin in her studio. Talk about local, right?! Matilda is available for design consultations be sure to get in touch to book one in. Or if you have any questions you want to ask Matilda, hit us up in the comments.

13.01.2022 Sorry I’ve been MIA. To be completely honest, I’ve been enjoying a forced break thanks to Corona and decide to take it easy. BUT, I am still here, just haven’t been active online. I am available to meet with any brides looking to get their dream dresses custom designed and made. So any future brides looking be sure to get in touch for a free non obligatory design consultation. Matilda x... P.S. this is a little sneak peek. Keep those eyes peeled #matildaalegria #matildaalegriabride

12.01.2022 First look at an asymmetrical design for a special bride you’ll see more of soon. #sneakpeek #matildaalegria #matildaalegriabride

11.01.2022 A work in progress shot of a hand appliquéd bodice for a recent bride. Placement is everything and we love the finished design. #matildaalegria #matildaalegriabride

08.01.2022 Needless to say, 2020 was a different year, which lead to an extremely quiet season in the Matilda Alegria studio. In all honesty though, I whole heartedly enjoyed having a forced break and made the most of having a dry season off for a change. The break has been good, but I am now so excited to be getting into the 2021 season. I am working with some beautiful brides on some incredible designs. Cannot wait to share them with you. Are you getting hitched? Be sure to touch base... to chat about your custom designed and made dress. And because I don’t have much new content to share, here is a pic of myself over the festive season wearing my own ready to wear design with a @requiemtrend belt. Here’s cheers to a thriving year ahead #matildaalegria #matildaalegriabride

08.01.2022 Like most (if not all) girls, I have dreamt of my wedding day for as long as I can remember. Being a quirky lover of fashion, a huge part of that dream, has always been the special dress that I would be wearing to marry the love of my life. And I am blessed to have had Matilda bring my dream to life. ~ Lea Palmer Obsessed with this image of Lea is her custom Matilda Alegria wedding gown. Doesn’t she just look spectacularly happy. @leaa_x #matildaalegria #matildaalegriabride

07.01.2022 Love a close up detail dress shot. And this ticks all the boxes clean simple lines fit to perfection. Karli, you are a dream.

05.01.2022 Oh my, won’t you look at this gorgeous bride - Mrs Karli Booth. My dress was honestly everything I wanted and more, you really made our day special! Karli Booth. Thank you Karli, and congratulations on your nuptials.... P.S THAT BACK!! Absolute perfection.

05.01.2022 BEHIND THE SCENES || Take a look at the progress of Sarah’s wedding dress from start to finish. From fittings, to bead placement, to the finished product, each aspect as pivotal as the next.

05.01.2022 I am a big fan of both simple and detailed wedding gowns, it really depends on the wearer. Too often brides think they need to go detailed, but sometimes simple can speak volumes on the right person... like Elle here in her custom wedding dress. Just perfection. #matildaalegria #matildaalegriabride

03.01.2022 One year ago today. Happy anniversary to these two legends. Sarah in her boho meets Morocco custom Matilda Alegria wedding dress.

We love that you can take your wedding day to really express you and your personality. ... #matildaalegria #matildaalegriabride

01.01.2022 Oh Kayla, you are a dream. Kayla was one of the unlucky 2020 couples who had to postpone their wedding due to COVID, but despite this they were able to pull of an amazing surprise wedding in January 2021. And wow she looks incredible. Thank you so much for going on this very long, windy, and last minute dress journey with me. I am still so in love with my dress! It was absolutely perfect! @beach_st_weddings ... #matildaalegria #matildaalegriabride
