BACKSTAGE PASS

BACKSTAGE PASS

Every gown has a story before it's yours

From the first sketch to your virtual fitting, here's everything that happens behind the scenes before a WAM gown ever reaches you.

Design

Inspired by the world, made for you. Inspiration comes from everywhere, my travels, a piece of music that moves me, but the essence of every WAM piece is the same: celebrating women as we are, curves and all.

Effortless, timeless, elegant. That's the feeling every WAM bride is designed to feel. Low backs, halter necklines, feature ties, pearl accents, each detail chosen with intention, so every style is one of a kind.

Fabric

Natural, biodegradable, beautiful. Silk, viscose and cupro feature heavily across WAM gowns and minis, natural fibres with a lighter footprint than man-made ones.

Luxury without compromise. The simplicity of our designs comes straight from the natural drape and texture of these fabrics, giving you a luxurious look and feel, sustainably.

Patternmaking

Where the sketch comes to life. This is my favourite part of the process, the blueprint for every gown. It's trial and error, many samples, lots of tweaks, until the fit is exactly right.

Built to move with you. Every style is fit-tested to be comfortable, easy to dance in, and flattering on every body shape, no matter what.

The bias cut, our signature. This technique lets so many different body shapes fit our simple silhouette, the fabric ebbs and flows over your natural curves with a built-in stretch, no human-made elastanes required.

Atelier

The cream of the crop. Over many years in this industry, I've worked with manufacturers overseas and here in Australia, and hand-selected the very best to bring each bridal piece to life with care.

Precision, checked twice. Every gown is placed on a mannequin and laser cut for a perfect hemline, then quality checked, pressed and packed for Sydney, Australia.

Photoshoot

It starts with a mood board. Visual inspiration to tell the story, lighting for the photographer, poses for the model, hair and makeup direction, always true to the WAM aesthetic of timeless simplicity.

Movement, captured. A content creator joins on the day to capture the fabrics in motion and all the behind the scenes fun.

Virtual consultation

Buying online doesn't mean guessing. Book a virtual consultation, just like Shiloh, based in Denver, Colorado, who wanted to talk through fabrications, sizing and fit before deciding.

As close as it gets, from anywhere. Shiloh shared her measurements and how she wanted to feel on the day, then over a video call I showed her how the fabrics moved and tried styles on for her, bringing the gowns to her wherever she was.

Peace of mind, built in. We also talked through returning the dress if she changed her mind, which is exactly the kind of reassurance that makes buying your gown online feel easy.
