About the label
The designer behind every gown
An independent Melbourne label of gowns and cocktail dresses for engagements, formals, galas and bridal events.
The story
Every piece starts with Danielle
House of Danielle is an independent Melbourne label of evening gowns and cocktail dresses. The designs draw on vintage couture, and most are built on a structured corset, finished for modern occasions.
Danielle has more than 10 years of experience in fashion design and styling, including work behind the scenes on five fashion shows. She designs every piece in the collection and works with each client herself, from the first enquiry to the try-on.
That's why every enquiry comes straight to her. The person you speak to designed the dress, knows how it's cut and where it can be adjusted, and can tell you which size will suit you.
The design
What goes into every piece
A shaped bodice
Most designs are built on a structured corset that shapes the waist and holds its line through the night.
Made in Melbourne
Every piece is designed by Danielle and made locally in Melbourne, not mass produced overseas.
Any size, made to measure
Every design can also be made to your measurements, for a fit no standard size can match.
