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.

Yes. Baaby is a considered alternative to fast fashion: every gown is hand-made in Melbourne from 100% silk, a natural, long-lasting fibre, and designed as an heirloom piece to be kept and re-worn rather than discarded after a season.
