Try It Under Your Dress
Book a fitting at our Christchurch studio and try FOUNDATION beneath the dress you will actually be wearing — for a wedding, race day, a formal, or any occasion where the silhouette matters.
Get the fit right, before the big day
Shapewear only works if it works under your dress. Whether it is a wedding gown, a bridesmaid dress, your outfit as mother of the bride or groom, or a race day look, there are two ways we can help.
Send us your dress

Email a photo of your dress and your measurements and we will advise which pieces to choose. It is a free service and we are happy to guide you, though it is only a guide — nothing beats trying it on.

Half an hour with one of our consultants to try the range under your dress and see what works best. It is entirely up to you whether you go ahead and buy afterwards.

The Bespoke Heritage
FOUNDATION is an organic extension of the celebrated couture design house of Sarah Stoute Bespoke — where Sarah was named 2026 South Island winner of “Attire for Her” at the New Zealand Wedding Awards.
Crafting custom wedding dresses and hand-altering over 400 wedding dresses a year, Sarah saw the physical pain and deep frustration of her brides wearing heavy shapewear that digs, pinches, and rolls up under delicate couture fabrics.
This collection is her direct answer-invisible architecture engineered to lay completely flat, breathe with your body, and stay perfectly in place through the long wedding day.
