Milva Carucci Designs

Milva Carucci Designs Since those early years the business has grown and taken a slightly different approach. So in late 2015, Milva Carucci Designs transpired!

With over 25 years experience, Milva prides herself in timeless, classic and feminine silhouettes presented to clients in either ready to wear collection or custom made garments perfect for racewear, standout occasion outfits or wardrobe staples. Owner and operator Milva Carucci brought her passion for dressmaking to life by opening the doors to first what was an alterations business Alterations b

y MC several years ago. Based in the charming country town of Mareeba, FNQ, Milva experienced first hand the pure frustrating and inconvenience of not finding something to build her wardrobe or something suitable for a special event. So by offering alterations, tailoring and mending services the FNQ was slowly rekindling those loved- well worn favourites and having well-fitted new additions of clothing that was both stylish and flattering. Through word-of-mouth referrals and Milva's dedication to providing a flexible and customised service to suit her clients' needs, including on the day bridal party repairs and emergency alterations, she was being approached by women all over the state to 'make them something special' for an upcoming event. Racewear, Mother's of the bride, bridesmaids, workwear, one off staple wardrobe items, it was becoming apparent that Milva's attention to detail, knowledge and pure love of providing women with a custom piece of amazingness to step into was a sort after affair! Together with Milva's creative and artistic flair for fashion and creating that custom made piece and over 25 years of experience, women will now be able to buy seasonal one-off ready to wear pieces, in addition to custom orders. So if you have an event coming up and no idea where to start with an outfit, fabric or design, contact Milva for a friendly 'fashion chat' and treat yourself to an amazing outfit that people will be commenting on for years to come!

Creating a custom made, one thoughtful detail at a time.

Check out this stunning tartan, carefully chosen not only for its rich colour palette but for the way the check can be strategically placed to enhance the design.

With every custom made, fabric placement is just as important as the style itself. It’s these considered details, combined with my signature design elements, that transform a beautiful fabric into a truly one of a kind piece.

I can’t wait to bring this one to life

All that glitz and glow…

This stunning brocade is currently being transformed into another custom made, and I can already tell it’s going to be something special.

It’s a style that has quickly become a favourite, timeless, elegant and so flattering. I can’t wait to share the finished creation.

MCD HQ is in full swing at the moment, with orders being finalised and new custom designs beginning to come to life. I’m so grateful to be trusted with bringing each client’s vision to reality

The beauties just keep on coming…

Who says winter has to be dull? This stunning textured tweed proves otherwise, with its vibrant mix of colour woven through every thread.

A beautiful balance of timeless class and a modern twist and I have a feeling this fabric is quickly becoming one of my favourites.

I can’t wait to bring another MCD creation to life.

Creating a custom made garment is always a privilege… but when a client entrusts me with fabric they have hand painted themselves, it becomes something even more special.

I’ll admit, I feel a little nervous. I want to do justice to something so unique and personal.

It’s an honour to be part of this journey, and I honestly can’t wait to share the finished creation. It’s going to be something very special.

Forever grateful for the trust my clients place in me and the opportunity to create pieces with so much meaning.

Sara’s custom made MCD began with one of my signature designs, reimagined to reflect her own unique style.

Inspired by the colours in her stunning headpiece, we paired a rich chocolate base with a beautiful border lace , while a contrasting chocolate collar and cuffs brought the perfect winter feel. When Sara found the ideal contrast fabric, the entire look came together beautifully.

Sara certainly brought her outfit to life at Gold Cup, standing out in a very stylish FOTF lineup and being awarded Lady of the Day Runner-Up.

Congratulations, Sara. I love the conversations, collaboration, and creativity that go into every MCD custom made and seeing the joy it brings, is always the greatest reward.

A smile says more than words ever could.

Stacey attended Darwin Turf Club Ladies Day looking every bit the lady in her MCD signature custom-made dress.
Crafted from a luxurious brocade in a colour palette perfectly suited to the Darwin season, her design embraced timeless elegance while remaining beautifully fitting for the occasion.
Her look was completed with stunning millinery by Melissa from .hire, the perfect finishing touch to an already striking ensemble.

In a field of 28 impeccably dressed ladies, Stacey’s attention to every detail captured the judges’ attention, earning her a place in the Top 6 finalists.

Congratulations Stacey. You brought your entire look together so beautifully, and it was wonderful to see your style, confidence and attention to detail shine on the day.
