Ever Elegant

Ever Elegant in Armadale, Melbourne, VIC is categorized under Clothing Stores.

Ever Elegant started as a custom dressmaking business in East Malvern, and serviced the locals , making Bridal Gowns , Mother of the bride, race wear, day wear and even t shirts.

The owner of Ever Elegant Helena Buxton, has been a custom dressmaker for twenty plus years and has heard  many of her clients  saying that there wasn’t anywhere to get great occasion wear for the mature lady.

Because of this the concept of a boutique specially for a more mature lady , but one still wanting style and elegance, was born.

As a mature lady herself and having made custom outfits for many years, Helena knew what ladies were asking for and went out to find designers from around the world with stunning occasion wear.

Not all ladies are the same so she has sourced many different styles in sizes from 6 to 26, and a range of prices.

Another consideration, was that mothers of the bride want something a little more exclusive.

There is nothing more deflating and embarrassing than walking in to your daughters or sons wedding and a guest has the same outfit. So many of our outfits are exclusive to Ever Elegant here in Australia.

With Helena’s experience in custom dressmaking, she has provided a Alteration service for outfits sold in store.

Very few ladies can walk out without a minor adjustment, so we find most ladies find this service a great addition.

We receive 2 main deliveries per year from our overseas designers. Our main order being Jan-March and a smaller order July – Sept.

We do not keep lots of multiples of sizes, so be quick to ensure you size.

Ever Elegant specialise in mother of the bride and groom-occasion-wear so all our stylists are very focused on making the mum’s look and feel amazing, we try very hard to provide the ultimate shopping experience.

We offer a relaxed intimate atmosphere and many mums spend 2-3 hours trying on 10 or more different styles, until they find that one special piece. We don’t work by appointment as we are anti pressurised selling .

It is always good If you come in with an open mind and don’t be afraid to try a few things that may be out of your comfort zone.

We find one trusted person to help can be far better than a whole group, who can tend to confuse matters.

As a leading stockist of special occasion wear, we are committed to making our customer’s look and feel fantastic.

With so many websites selling poor quality fake designer copies, we would like to make clear that we are an authorized retailer for all of our brands and source our product directly from the designers.

They are of a high quality.

We have heard many horror stories of ladies purchasing outfits through websites that seem to be genuine, only to find the quality and fit are extremely poor.

If the price is extremely low there is a fair chance that it is a fake manufacturing website.

We sell through our website but are a bricks and mortar store, if you can come in and see our product do so.

If not we will be only too happy to help you with a purchase, just ring us in business hours and we will do a payment over the phone and have your outfit off to you by express post.

Testimonials

“I found Ever Elegant online and decided to not make any decision on my mother of the bride outfit until I had checked out what Ever Elegant had to offer, when I would be in Melbourne (I live in Sydney) on a planned trip I was making with my daughter – the bride to be. And boy how glad I did. With Helena’s expertise she gave me about 8 outfits to try on. The first two were on the short list and I knew we would be walking out of the store that day with my outfit. The third outfit trumped them all and I was sold. There was just a small alteration to be made to make the fit perfect, which Helena had done and ready for me to pick up in time for my flight back to Sydney. I cannot be more thankful for all the friendly assistance and honesty in selecting, what I expected to be a daunting experience, but turned out to be such a pleasure. A thousand thanks Ever Elegant!”

“I was looking for an outfit to wear to my son’s wedding and approached Ever Elegant with trepidation! I expected my outing to end in tears of frustration and a failed trip to Melbourne! But, Helena was fantastic and my first expedition to my first shop ended instead in happy tears! A perfect dress and jacket was found- slight alterations arranged and a promise to mail my garment soon. 8 days after shopping my outfit arrived by mail and fitted perfectly!”

“Wonderful selection of outfits for mother of the bride. And 2nd wedding outfits for the more mature and sophisticated women. Amazing helpful and wonderful staff. Highly recommend this store to everyone I know. I flew down from. Sydney as I was unable to find the quality or selection in Sydney . Please open a store in a Sydney .”

“My mother and I were both very impressed with the variety and quality of the outfits/dresses the store offers. The gorgeous outfit my mum had chosen, was beautifully altered by Helena. It was as though it was especially made for her! That’s what a fabulous job Helena had done with the alterations, not to mention it was ready to be picked up within two days!! Now, how’s that for service! Can’t recommend ‘Ever Elegant’ enough! We will definitely return to this store in the future! Thank you once again, from a very happy customer!”

“The staff at Ever Elegant were so helpful when my mum was buying her mother of the bride outfit. They helped us find correct sizes and colours and chose items we might not have otherwise considered. My mum left feeling extremely happy with her choice and the service provided. Thank you!”
