HOW TO ORDER – YOUR ONE HONEY SHOPPING TIMELINE
At One Honey, we make ordering your dream formal dress, prom gown, or school formal look seamless and stress-free.
Whether you're visiting our Gold Coast showroom or shopping online with express worldwide delivery, follow this easy timeline to plan ahead, secure your gown, and get ready to own the spotlight.

✨ Start Dreaming & Browsing Inspo
7 MONTHS BEFORE
Start browsing for inspiration and building your dream look. Save your favourite styles on Pinterest, scroll through our customer photo gallery, and follow @onehoney on Instagram and TikTok to see real girls slaying their One Honey gowns at school formals, proms, and special events.
We drop new collections multiple times a year, and many of our most viral gowns launch on socials before they hit the website. Be the first to spot exclusive styles, behind-the-scenes previews, and trending gowns by following us now.
Create a folder or saved collection on Instagram and start saving your favourite videos, dresses, and styling inspo — so when it’s time to choose, you’ve already got your dream edit ready.
Now’s the perfect time to start narrowing down silhouettes, fabrics, and colour palettes that make you feel like the moment.

👗 Lock In Your Gown & Appointment
6 MONTHS BEFORE
Book your fitting appointment at our Gold Coast showroom, or use our exclusive VYBE Virtual Try-On App to preview styles on your body type from home. This is the perfect time to explore silhouettes, compare fabrics, and start narrowing down your dream gown.
Only book your appointment when you're ready to purchase, as our styles move quickly and many designs are released in limited quantities. We want to ensure your chosen gown is still available when you're ready to say yes.
Bring a folder of saved inspo from our Instagram, TikTok, or Pinterest — this helps your stylist understand your vibe and vision. But also come with an open mind — many girls fall in love with a colour or silhouette they never expected. Our expert stylists are here to guide you and help you feel confident and beautiful.
Styles and colours can rotate through the showroom depending on seasonal drops, designer launches, and global trends, so shopping early gives you the best access.
Once you're ready to say yes, you can secure your gown using any of our flexible payment options, including ZipPay, Humm, LayBuy, PayPal, and Amex — making checkout seamless and stress-free.

👑 FIRST IN, BEST DRESSED — REGISTER YOUR GOWN EARLY
REGISTER YOUR DRESS
Once your gown is secured, it’s time to register it to your school or event to help protect your look and maintain exclusivity.
We recommend doing this as soon as possible by locating your school’s dedicated dress register — usually hosted on Facebook or Instagram — and submitting your gown details anonymously.
This helps ensure no other girl wears the same style to your school formal, prom, gala dinner, or debutante ball.

💫 Style Your Full Look Head to Toe
4 MONTHS BEFORE
It’s time to start styling your full look. Shop your heels, clutch, jewellery, and other must-have pieces to complete your formal outfit with confidence and flair.
One Honey is the only formalwear boutique in Australia that partners with leading brands across fashion, beauty, accessories, and wellness — giving our customers access to exclusive discounts across all industries related to their big night. From shoes and makeup to tanning, lashes, brows, and more, we’ve got your entire look covered.
Be sure to add essentials like Hollywood tape, strapless bras, or shapewear to your cart so you’re fully prepared for your first fitting and red-carpet reveal.
Unlock everything you need for your full glam moment!

✂️ Alter for the Perfect Fit & Book Glam
3 MONTHS BEFORE
Once your gown arrives, it’s time to book in with one of our preferred alterations specialists to ensure a flawless, custom fit. This is your moment to fine-tune the look — whether you need a hemline adjusted, cups added, or slight tweaks to the bodice for comfort and support.
Our recommended seamstresses are independent industry professionals with over 20 years of experience. They work exclusively with formal and couture gowns, so you can trust your dress is in expert hands. Of course, you're welcome to use your own tailor if you prefer.
For best results, we recommend allowing plenty of time for alterations, especially during peak school formal and prom season.
It’s also the perfect time to secure your glam team. We work with some of the most talented hair and makeup artists on the Gold Coast and are happy to recommend vendors trusted by our One Honey community. Get red-carpet ready!

🎀 Final Dress Rehearsal & Prep Kit Ready
1 WEEK BEFORE
It’s time for your full dress rehearsal. Try on your complete look — gown, heels, clutch, jewellery — and test walking, sitting, and dancing to ensure comfort and confidence on the night.
Now’s also the time to steam your dress carefully using a handheld steamer or a low heat setting, working from the inside out. Never iron directly on formal fabrics — always follow care instructions or ask your seamstress or dry cleaner if unsure.
Still missing the essentials?
Shop our Dress Care Essentials — including breathable garment bags to protect your gown, white gloves to avoid makeup or oil marks when zipping in and out, and must-haves like fashion tape, booby cups, and other styling tools for the perfect fit.
Prepare your prom night kit so you’re ready for anything:
• Fashion tape
• Safety pins
• Lip gloss & tissues
• Mini perfume
• Heel stoppers
Need a little help? We’ve created How to Lace videos, plus tutorials on how to walk and pose in your gown — all available on our TikTok. Follow us @onehoney to watch and practice before your big night.
You’re almost there — rehearse, breathe, and get ready to own the spotlight.
