About the designer

Trellis Lane

Trellis Lane is a formal wear brand trusted by Australian mothers of the bride for quality fabrication, flattering silhouettes, and beautiful colour options. Their extensive collection covers everything from beaded and embroidered full-length gowns to sequin midi cocktail styles and elegant peplum designs. If you're looking for a gown that balances genuine elegance with wearable comfort, Trellis Lane is an excellent starting point.

Size & fit

How do I get the best fit in my Trellis Lane gown?
The most reliable way is to be measured by a professional tailor. If that isn't possible, measure yourself with a soft tape over your undergarments — snug, never tight — across the fullest part of your bust, your natural waistline and the fullest part of your hips.

How do I find my size?
Always use the Trellis Lane size chart on this page rather than your usual shop size — designer sizing varies, and every gown is made to that chart. Prefer a second opinion? Send your measurements to our stylists and we'll match you to the right size.

What if I'm between two sizes?
Size up. It's far easier for a local tailor to take a gown in than to let it out, and most mothers have a small alteration — a hem or a little nip at the waist — for that perfect finish anyway.

Can I try the style before I commit?
Yes — our Try Before You Buy service sends a showroom gown to your door, so you can check the fit, colour and feel in your own light before ordering.

Ordering & production

When should I place my order?
As early as you comfortably can — we recommend at least 20 weeks before the wedding to allow for production, shipping and any alterations. Closer to the date? Message us with the style, colour and size and we'll check what's achievable.

What does made-to-order mean?
Your Trellis Lane gown is brought to life specifically for your order once you purchase — never pulled from a warehouse rail. It's how we can offer the full size and colour range. Please note it's made to the designer's standard pattern, not custom-made to your exact measurements.

Can my order be rushed?
Sometimes — it depends on the designer's current workflow and your event date. Message the team before ordering with your date and preferred colour and we'll confirm what's possible.

Colour & coordinating

How do I make sure my colour works with the wedding palette?
Order a fabric swatch first — a screen never shows colour truly. A swatch lets you hold the real shade against the bridal party's palette in natural light. Our stylists are happy to help you coordinate so your look complements the day without clashing.

Can both mothers wear the same designer?
Absolutely — many do. Tell us both roles, mother of the bride and mother of the groom, and we'll help you choose two looks that sit beautifully together in the photos.

Returns & exchanges

Can I return my Trellis Lane gown?
Because each gown is made especially for you, made-to-order pieces are final sale, so we can't offer a return or exchange for change of mind. Please double-check the size chart before ordering — and if something isn't quite right when it arrives, reach out anyway and we'll do whatever we can to help.

Care & maintenance

How should I care for my gown?
We recommend dry cleaning only, by a cleaner experienced with eveningwear, to protect the fabric and its finish.
