The Dress

Selling my beloved Rose Gown by Mariana Hardwick, which is a strapless ballgown with a finely boned bodice, subtle scooped neckline (as I didn't want the girls out), stunning train, and layered petal skirt with slightly lowered split (can be adjusted through pressing). I didn't initially want a strapless dress as I didn't want to be pulling the dress up all night, but there is an inner 'belt' with boning and four fasteners which meant that I did not feel exposed even once! It can be bustled up so you can dance the night away with ease. No one stepped on it once it was bustled! I wore it to my wedding in December 2022 and could not have felt more beautiful, secured and bride-like in this gown. It really is worth the hype!

As this dress was custom made for me, for reference, I usually wear a size 14 in dresses, with DD bust size (didn't need to wear a bra!), weighed 70kg on my wedding day, and am 163cm tall. I wore 9cm Loeffler Randall heels, so 172cm total. Please note, Mariana Hardwick make limited gowns in this exclusive style throughout the year, and this dress took 9 months to create.

It has been professionally dry cleaned at Ferrari Wedding Gown Cleaners (the recommended dry cleaner of Mariana Hardwick) costing $650, and is in excellent condition.
