Great — here are practical places and ways in Australia to find a dress like Taylor Swift’s engagement outfit (assuming you mean a chic, romantic, possibly couture or bridal-style dress — e.g., white/ivory, structured or flowy, elegant detailing):
Where to shop (ready-to-wear, high-end and contemporary)
- David Jones and Myer — large department stores that carry Australian designers and international labels (good for classic, bridal-adjacent pieces).
- THE ICONIC — quick, wide selection of contemporary and occasion dresses with fast Australian shipping/returns.
- Showpo — Australian brand with lots of occasion and white/ivory styles at mid-range prices.
- NET-A-PORTER / MatchesFashion — international luxury retailers that ship to Australia for designer, couture-adjacent options.
- Designer boutiques to check (Australia-based): Zimmermann, Aje, Camilla and Marc, Bec + Bridge, Michael Lo Sordo, Dion Lee — these labels often have elevated occasion/bridal-like pieces.
- Local bridal designers with contemporary/modern styles: Karen Willis Holmes, Grace Loves Lace, Willowby — for dresses that look engagement/bridal-ready but less formal.
Dress rental and hire (great for one-off events)
- GlamCorner — Australia’s largest dress hire site; lots of designer and occasion pieces you can hire short-term.
- Local boutique hire stores — many cities have independent hire boutiques (search “dress hire” + your city).
Custom and made-to-measure
- Local bridal salons (try the boutiques above or independent bridal houses) — you can get a custom piece or modify a sample to match Swift’s vibe.
- Independent dressmakers / couture seamstresses — find via Instagram or local bridal forums for truly bespoke results.
Styling/search tips to get the same look
- Use keywords when searching: “ivory/white occasion dress,” “bridal-inspired cocktail dress,” “structured bodice,” “silk satin gown,” “tulle skirt,” “corset bodice,” or “minimal bridal dress.”
- If her look included embellishment (pearls, embroidery, lace) add those words to searches.
- Save screenshots of the exact outfit and show to bridal consultants or a tailor — they can find or recreate the silhouette and fabric.
Where to try in person (major cities)
- Sydney: David Jones (Pitt St), boutiques in Paddington and Surry Hills, bridal salons in Alexandria.
- Melbourne: David Jones (Bourke St), high-end boutiques in South Yarra, Melbourne CBD bridal salons.
- Brisbane/Perth/Adelaide: major department stores + local bridal and occasion boutiques.
Budget options
- Fast-fashion / mid-range: Showpo, Forever New, ASOS (ships to AU).

- High couture: NET-A-PORTER, designer direct, bespoke bridal houses.
