How Does It Work

Gelique Couture Bridesmaid Dresses in Cape Town, Pretoria and Johannesbug

Step 1: Choose Your Dress Style

If you are looking for the perfect bridesmaid dress or evening dress, Gelique offers a wide selection of dress styles.

Visit Our Collection and take a look at our wide range of dress styles. Select the one that best suits your body and style.

In our collection you will find a gallery of dress images, the standard pricing and the various customisations available. Customizations marked with an asterisk (*) are considered part of the standard dress.

“Our custom made dresses process lets you choose your style, color, and fit — ensuring every detail matches your vision.”

Step 2: Choose Your Bodice Style

If your dress selection allows, choose a bodice style.

Step 3: Choose Your Back Style

A few of our dresses allow you to choose a back style. Have a look and see if your dress style allows a custom back and, if so, choose one that will suit your chosen dress and coverage requirements.

Step 4: Choose Your Sleeve Style

Sleeves are a great way to glam up your dress. If your dress style allows, choose from one of the many options available. Don’t forget to decide on a sleeve length too.

Step 5: Choose Your Skirt Cut

All our dresses come standard with a half circle skirt. But if want to change it up, our skirt selection is impressive and they are available on all of our dress styles. Choose your favourite!

Step 6: Choose Your Extras

Gelique offers a wide range of extras. Add a boob tube, ribbon or sash to accentuate your waist or simply finish off your look.

Step 7: Choose an Extra Overlay on Your Bodice and/or Skirt

All our dresses allow for extra overlay options on the bodice, the skirt or both. These overlays are available in a variety of fabrics including lace, tulle, mesh and sequin.
