BRIDES' STORIES

OUR JOURNEY
Sandra, the creative force behind SEAMWORKS, our bridal atelier in Melbourne's Eastern suburbs, is a skilled fashion designer from South America, specialising in couture bridal gowns and wedding dress alterations.
She began her Australian journey in 2011, working with renowned designers such as David Medwin and collaborating with Deborah Selleck on the bridal collection for New York Spring Fashion Week.
​​
Whether she was creating her own designs or sewing gorgeous long gowns for couture label Con Ilio or wedding dresses for KYHA Studios (formerly One Day Bridal), Sandra truly believes that dresses tell the story of our lives.
​
Because she loves high couture, Sandra has spent decades acquiring and applying special techniques whispered from generation to generation to create the perfect fit.
​
In a ready-to-wear world where wedding dresses are manufactured according to standard sizes, SEAMWORKS is proud to continue helping brides of all body shapes look stunning on the most important day of their lives.
