This bride came in for a consultation in mid-April, just two weeks after I had finalised my order for my July and August drop. 

 She wanted a simple mikado dress with puff sleeves, and was open to the design of the sleeves. 

 I had to let her know that I didn't have any mikado dresses that were suitable to have a sleeve added, but that I had seen one when I was reviewing the new collections. The designers give me a small photo of the new collection for me to order from, until the collection is released online. I showed the bride this image, and put her in the  D3460 so that she could visualise the how the skirt would fall, and into the Halani for the V neckline. 

 I told her that  what I had seen on the zoom video when I was doing my buying meant that I knew I could get exactly what she was looking for and all I would need to do is make the puff sleeves. 

 I rang up Essense of Australia to let them know I had sold a dress that was technically not yet released. They weren't surprised as I've done this before a few times. 

 The video shows the process of the sleeve production and how we worked together to find the right one for this bride's figure and desired finished look.

Dress is Essense of Australia D3586
