Milva Carucci is an Australian designer and master dressmaker, and the founder of Milva Carucci Designs.
Renowned for her thoughtful approach to both bespoke and ready-to-wear, Milva curates garments that celebrate the female form through impeccable fit, timeless silhouettes, and an unmistakable sense of confidence.

Born and raised in far North Queensland and now based in the historic town of Warwick, nestled in Queensland’s Southern Downs, just 150km from Brisbane, Milva works from her home-based atelier, a space grounded in natural serenity and daily inspiration. It is here that collections are imagined and sketched, often accompanied by the Italian ritual she holds dear: a perfectly brewed espresso.

With over 50 years of dressmaking experience, Milva’s journey began more than a decade ago from the humblest of beginnings. Her love of sewing took root in childhood and flourished through her teenage years, where she experimented with fabrics, form, and design concepts. What began as helping others through alterations and small dressmaking commissions has evolved into a respected label, creating custom-made and ready-to-wear pieces worn across Australia and New Zealand.

Born from Milva’s own experience of the frustration of ill-fitting garments, Milva Carucci Designs is defined by a curated collection of signature styles that are classic, flattering, and deeply considered. Each piece is designed to be memorable yet wearable—crafted to enhance individuality rather than follow trends.
