Wedding Season, here we come!

From the wedding dress to the flower girls dress your designer Amanda Garrett can make all your dress dreams come true.  

The best part of what I do is the final fitting, seeing the look on my clients face when she puts the dress on and sees that it is exactly everything she wanted and more.  From beginning to end the whole process is personal and exciting. Getting to know each clients wants and needs is very important and I take extra care so that your experience will be just as special as you are.

"..I told her what I wanted and she did it. It was the exact replica of what I expected. The entire experience was so beautiful and professional. I absolutely loved my dress when it was finished and it fit me so perfectly.  I recommend Amanda to make any dress if you want to feel like a princess. Thank you Amanda, I would have never thought I ever could have had a more perfect dress." - Tanya Ellis

Dress Making Report: 1970's Secret Garden Shoot

As those of you who follow me know, I love my collaboration shoots! It's great to be able to get a team of incredible creatives together and bring to life moments like these. THIS dress was so much fun to create. From finding this perfect lace, which challenged me because I had never worked with it before. It had quite a stretch to it and with the beautiful lines it has, patience and a good eye really needed to be used for this one. I wanted to do a 1970's piece because I think it is so wonderful to create from different eras, so be prepared to see some other staple pieces from specific times. The sleeves, neckline and hemline make this dress exactly what it is meant to be, timeless. Take a gander at what our amazing team did together and with only 15 minutes of light on the day of the shoot.

Dress Making Report: A Spring Photoshoot

Last month I created a simply elegant bohemian wedding dress for a Spring Photoshoot with Michelle Liane Photography. 

My favourite thing about these collaboration shoots, is that I am given a rough idea and can run with it. Being creative is one of the best things life can offer, the joy I feel when it all comes together is just the greatest thing!

Working with so many other amazing creatives is so worth while. You will see that the beauty that comes from each of us illuminates through the moments that were captured in the shoot.

Photo Shoot: Deconstructed Wedding Dress

Have you ever taken something apart and put it back together again in a different way, or just the way it was before?(Pretty amazing if you can)  This is something I love to do with dresses, especially wedding dresses.



A.M.E.G. Designs can take your wonderful wedding dress from any decade and turn it into something new and fitting just for you.

In July I did a photo shoot with 'Michelle Liane Photography'. We had such a great time with this shoot, it was so elegant and we were able to use this very special room.  I took a wedding dress from the 90's and transformed it into the perfect fit for my client/model. She was just stunning, and it just so happened to work with a hat I made last July in a Millinery course that I took.  I am so happy with the way these photos turned out and would like to thank Michelle for her keen eye and understanding of exactly what my inspiration was. Please take a look and enjoy!

Alterations: Flower Girls

Recently I added to tulle and bustled a beautiful wedding dress for a client, see 'Alterations: Here come the brides!'. She then asked if I would be able to take-in one and add tulle to both of her beautiful daughters flower girl dresses. Of course I took on the task, plus I absolutely love working with these little dresses. The girls were so perfect standing for their fittings, I was very impressed.  As for the flower girl dresses, they turned out really well and my client was so happy!

Dress Making Report: De-constructed Wedding Dress

Last year, a friend of mine gave me her wedding dress from the 90's and told me to use it to my hearts content. I completely changed the entire look of it! A client came to my house to discuss, the dress for two weddings, and fell in love with what I had started doing with it. I have now finished the dress and will be having our final fitting today, she will be able to take it home and wear it where ever she thinks it will be perfect for.  We will be doing a photo shoot with 'Michelle Liane Photography', including the hat I created last July in the shoot, so stay tuned for those lovely photos.
