Depending on what custom project you're looking to explore:

Wedding / Special occasion wear

Where are you located?

The Mimi Holvast studio is a studio at my property in Bexhill, NSW. It is a 30 Minute drive from Byron Bay, 10 minutes from Lismore. A 30 Minute drive from Ballina airport and 1 hour from the Gold Coast airport.

While we can do zoom/distance fittings it is more accurate, timely and cost effective to carry out all fittings in person.
