Bonita Couture

Elide and her team at Bonita couture were attentive and professional at all times It was a pleasurable experience having my daughters wedding gown come to life as she wanted and mine as mother if the bride as well Elide was very attentive as to our request and Always offered her professionalism to accomodate our wishes A true gem for a very special and memorable occasion Thankyou once again to all at Bonita 🙏🏻

I wore my mums wedding dress as my deb dress and I loved how Elide managed to make the impossible possible. such a sweet lady and the servicing was amazing. she had originally made my mums wedding dress and to go back to ask if she could alter it and make it almost like a new dress was incredible!

What an absolutely incredible custom dress journey I had with Elide and her team designing my Mother of the Bride dress. From the very first visit with some ideas I had combined with the skilled creative talents of Elide she weaved her magic and the most stunning custom dress came to life that truly exceeded my expectations. The caring and collaborative approach with Bonita Couture was honestly second to none. Thank you so much for making this very special day even more special ! Jo x

I am not new to having couture gowns made, however, I have never been as happy with the experience and results as I am with Bonita Couture. From the moment I met Elide I knew this wonderful and talented woman was going to create an amazing gown for me. She really listened to what I liked and my concerns with my body shape and in-front of me she sketch the gown that not only I wanted but also addressed all my body concerns. Every time I went for a fitting I left feeling so happy as I saw my beautiful gown come to life. Elide would adjust and create with fabric on my body ensuring everything was perfect. She is a perfectionist and extremely talented. She will never let you walk out with a gown that is not perfect for you no matter the amount of work she and her team at Bonita Couture need to do. Thank god a close friend recommended her to me. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Bonita Couture. Save yourselves all the stress and go to the best from the start.

I already had a few appointments with designers around Melbourne, but my experience with Elide was brilliant. I think its important to find a designer who you really get along with, who understands your vision and has years of experience - all of which Elide and her team have. The dress she created for me was so unique and the fabric was also very unique - she is the only designer in Australia who has rights to the beautiful fabric my dress was made from, directly imported from Italy. I tried on a similar dress made form the unique fabric and I knew my choice was clear. My wedding was meant to be overseas in July 2020 so going into lockdown it was very stressful, however as soon as we came out of lockdown, Elide and her team scheduled my appointments accordingly so that my dress was perfectly ready for my day - January 2021. She has more experience that most Melbourne designers, I completely trusted her opinions and she made the experience so enjoyable for me! My dress received so many compliments on the day and it suited me perfectly. I cannot recommend Elide and her brilliant team enough! 10/10!!!!

After months of searching for a unique and unconventional bridal gown without success, I stumbled across Bonita Couture and Elide gave me the dress of my dreams. Not only did she work with my vision of a non traditional dress, she also is a very talented dress maker and I was thrilled with the end result. The studio is beautiful and Elide was always professional, accommodating and very knowledgeable about fabric and fit. As soon as I walked into the studio I was inspired by the gorgeous fabrics and styles and had complete trust in Elide to create a gorgeous gown and she did not disappoint! Elide also repaired my mums torn veil that we thought was ruined but now looks brand new. After feeling deflated from all of the uninspiring, mass produced gowns that I tried in other stores, seeing Bonita Couture’s range of original, unique and absolutely stunning gowns, I was able to find the wedding dress of my dreams. Thankyou so much Elide.

I had my bridesmaid dress altered at Bonita Couture. At every appointment, my requests were heard and acted on beautifully. Elide has great attention-to-detail. Rosa also provided such kind customer service, bringing espresso and sweets every time we visited. I love the final product, and im so glad I used Elise's services. Such a polite and talented woman!
