Davis Browne

About

Davis Browne has just opened at a new location in Adelaide! Davis has worked in film, television, and theatre for over 20 years - working as a costume maker and designer for companies in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide. His experience started at Crawfords' Productions working on the set of "The Flying Doctors". Davis then moved into the area of live theatre, and completed a bachelor degree at the Victorian College of the Arts School of Drama, where he specialised in costume design and construction. Since, Davis has worked for Melbourne Theatre Company, Red Stitch Actors Theatre, Chunky Move, Australian Dance Theatre, and a host of other professional companies, as a designer and maker of costumes for stage.

Now, Davis Browne specialises in bridal design and creation. His passion for pristine lines and detailed finishes lends itself perfectly to the task of creating exquisite one-of-a-kind creations for special occasions - and we believe there is no occasion as special as a wedding.

Davis understands the special requirements of the soon-to-be bride and groom, and can help to make decisions about a gown a joy rather than an added stress. Clients who have worked with Davis in the past have thoroughly enjoyed being part of the creative process, and as a result have felt like they are wearing a creation of their own on the day - a gown that truly reflects themselves.

Davis Browne operates from a small home-studio equipped with excellent facilities and fitting rooms offering privacy and the ability to cater to small groups for those occasions when its important to get a consensus opinion. The studio is located in Adelaide's west end, near Chinatown and the Central Markets, in a quiet street with on street two-hour parking available.

Access to the best suppliers of quality fabrics and trims (gained through his 20 years in theatre), and an excellent sense of style and cut, means Davis Browne can create any gown you can imagine. His theatrical experience lends itself equally to gowns with sophisticated and simple line, or more extravagant, dramatic styles. Good foundations are often the base of a great gown, and Davis experience with corsetry and period costume ensures that every style can be achieved. Shoes, gloves, hats - anything you require can be created. Davis can sensitively discuss with you any concerns about body shape and size, and the best styles to accommodate them. Davis will work with you to establish a budget that is within your means - and knows where it is possible to suggest economies in fabric selection or style or process to ensure a result that fits your imagination, and your budget.

While ideally suited to brides who intend to have smaller wedding parties, and who have allowed themselves time before the special day - Davis has access to excellent short-term staff who can come on board to help create for either a tight deadline, or a cast of thousands.

Whatever your situation - you won't be disappointed with your experience.
