Mackay . Airlie Beach . Whitsundays . Bowen
Graduating in 2027 and looking for something a little different?
NS Gowns offers an all-inclusive $1,200 Designed For You formal gown package for graduates across Mackay, the Whitsundays, Proserpine, Airlie Beach, Bowen and surrounding regions. Designed around your shape, style and personality, each gown is custom-made to help you feel confident, comfortable and completely yourself on one of life’s milestone occasions.
Because every gown is created to order, approximately six months is required from consultation to completion. To ensure every client receives the attention their gown deserves, only a limited number of formal gown commissions will be accepted each year.
Every formal gown begins with a vision, but that doesn’t mean you need to have every detail figured out before we start.
Whether you’ve fallen in love with a particular style, saved hundreds of inspiration photos, or have absolutely no idea where to begin, the process is designed to help you discover a gown that feels authentically you.
The inspiration boards below are designed to spark ideas and showcase just a few of the directions we can explore. Every gown is tailored to the individual, ensuring your final design is as unique as the person wearing it.
