The Dress

I wore the absolutely gorgeous Bella dress for my beachside wedding in March 2022. As soon as I tried on the dress I absolutely knew it was the one! The dress is so wearable, comfortable, and flattering - the draping plus the side split gives it the right balance of sexy and classy. I wore it for my ceremony, photos and reception and dancing and I did not feel restricted in any way.

Hand draped, luxurious double layered 30 momme Crepe de Chine silk is cut on the bias and expertly engineered to create a truly unique and elevated silk gown. The silk does indeed drape around the body like liquid and accentuates your shape.

It has a gathered bust, statement straight neckline with an effortless drape, spaghetti straps, and an open adjustable back flowing into a double layer split skirt with an 80cm train with a finger loop.

Two veil options are also available for separate purchase
- Full length veil with the words "truly madly deeply" (not worn) https://graceloveslace.com.au/collections/veils-hair/products/truly-madly-deeply-long-veil
- Mid length Aura veil (worn for ceremony and photos) https://graceloveslace.com.au/collections/veils-hair/products/aura-veil

The dress was dry cleaned immediately after the wedding. There are 4 minor pin sized spots left on the fabric, but not all are visible as they are hidden on the underside of the draping (I can supply photos if needed).

For local enquiries, try-ons are welcome.
