Silk wedding dresses, made in Melbourne: Baaby’s debut

Melbourne label Baaby has released its debut bridal collection, and it is undoubtedly going to make a statement. Perfect for the fashion-conscious, intentional bride, this collection embodies whimsical and impactful pieces.

Every gown is hand-made in Melbourne from 100% silk, chosen for its structure, longevity, and its ability to hold a shape year after year. These are pieces built to be kept: artisanal, subtly theatrical, and created to outlast a trend cycle.

Photographed inside the Johnston Collection in East Melbourne, this carefully curated collection moves between dreamlike and statement-making, romantic and architectural.

“As both a designer and maker, I wanted to create artisanal yet timeless gowns; heirloom pieces with a contemporary point of view,” says the founder and designer, the talented Amelia Mercoulia.

Gowns from $950 to $2,590, made to order in Melbourne.
