Adele O'Shea

Adele O’Shea is a couturier that specialises in bridal and special occasion wear for women. 

Adele practices intricate, labour intensive techniques to create artful, elegant, one of a kind gowns, custom made for those who want something just a little bit different. 

Born and raised in Hobart Tasmania, Adele found her love for sewing at the tender age of 3, making pocket pets from scraps of fabric she found in the kinder craft tub. 

After much encouragement and teaching from her Nan as a child, she studied fashion design and manufacture before working for numerous bridal designers and as a freelance costume maker. Adele has also worked as a florist, which continues to influence her work aesthetic. 

Adele finds inspiration in the history of dress construction, heritage architecture, textures in the natural world, and all things textile.

Now that her 3 children are all in school, she’s excited to be in the process of designing and making a sample range in her Montsalvat stable studio.
