Janay
I absolutely adored my gown. It was even more beautiful in person, so comfortable to wear, and truly felt like a showstopper as my second look on the wedding day. I loved it so much that I have it hanging where I can see it every day because it’s simply too beautiful to put away. The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish, and I can’t wait for an excuse to wear it again someday. Thank you so much, Isabel — I loved working with you and couldn’t have been happier with my dress.
Morgan C
A huge thank you to Isabel and the team for creating my dresses. They were an absolute hit. It was so special to wear a reception dress made from my nana’s wedding gown. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

“I definitely recommend Gown and Altar for anyone that’s on the search for their dress as they cater for bespoke but also keep up to date with what’s trending and provide stunning options to purchase from their collection. Once I had an idea of what I wanted, Taylor came up with the solution to create a bespoke dress based on an existing style—it turned out exactly how I envisioned. The process was smooth, and I loved that I was supporting a local business just 10 minutes down the road. The team is so lovely, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout. I received so many compliments on the day!”
Kendyl & Karhlia
“I purchased the Grace gown (NZ size 10) from Gown and Altar, and it was everything I could have dreamed of! The gown was hemmed slightly at the train for better movement, and it struck the perfect balance for my wedding in Sicily – it was easy to wear, elegant, and beautiful. It’s the kind of dress that feels effortless yet elegant, ideal for an abroad wedding or a simple, chic wedding anywhere in the world!
The craftswomanship, fit, and service were amazing. If you want a gown that makes you feel confident, comfortable, and stunning on your wedding day, I couldn’t recommend Gown and Altar more highly!”
-Karhlia
“From start to finish, working with Gown + Alter was a dream. Lucy, Jane and Isabel went above and beyond to make sure my dress was absolutely perfect — working miracles on a very tight timeline. Every interaction was warm, reassuring, and professional. The attention to detail was outstanding, from a flawless fit to the beautifully precise alterations. The communication throughout was fantastic, with regular updates that kept us completely at ease during what can be a stressful time. Will always be grateful for the skill, care, and genuine kindness from the Gown + Alter team. Truly 11/10 experience.”
