If you haven’t met her yet - trust us - you’re going to fall hard.

 

Let’s rewind for a second. Picture this: over 25 years ago, in the heart of Sydney, Australia, the dream of Maggie Sottero was born in a bridal boutique. Yep, Maggie’s story started with love - love for bridalwear, love for design, and love for making every bride feel like the best version of herself on the big day. And ever since? It’s been a beautiful adventure of turning dreams into reality for brides all around the world. (Including right here at Dress Gallery!)


Fun fact: the brand is named after founder Lesley Webster’s great-grandmother, Margaret “Maggie” Sottero, and that family love runs deep. Lesley, her husband Wayne, and her mom Dorothy Steiner launched the label together. And today, Lesley’s daughter Kelly Midgley is keeping the legacy alive - and expanding it! She introduced Sottero and Midgley for our edgy, fashion-forward brides, and Rebecca Ingram for timeless beauty at an incredible value.


What makes Maggie Sottero so special? Honestly, where do we start?

 

Style #LOTTIE


Every gown is designed to celebrate you - your story, your style, your silhouette. From sleek and simple to romantic and dramatic, Maggie gowns are known for their gorgeous structure, dreamy fabrics, and thoughtful details (hello, shimmer tulle and illusion lace!). And get this: many of their gowns come with customizable options - think sleeve variations, different necklines, shapewear lining, and coverage options. They’re all about size inclusivity too, with gowns available in a wide range of sizes to ensure every bride finds their perfect fit.


It’s not just a dress - it’s the moment you see yourself as a bride.
