About the Dress

The Lotta Gown by Lola Varma was a dream to wear. The gown is described on the Lola Varma site as “a delicate and romantic garment made from a vintage inspired striped silk/cotton georgette. A fitted silhouette in the skirt with a blousing feminine top.”

I love the blouse and skirt appearance of the dress and the unique sleeves. It felt perfectly my style - and I hope it can be worn and admired again by another bride.

I purchased this dress from Sphere Bridal in Bondi and had it made to my size in 2023.
It is split sizes, the skirt being marked as size 14 and the top as size 12. I would say it fits true to size as a 12.

I had the floor length tulle veil made by Sphere Bridal for the look and am happy to include this in the sale of the dress.

Dress was professionally laundered in the days after the wedding. There is wear to the hemline of the dress and a pull (that is not visible) to the silk in the trail of the dress. Some marks under armpit can be seen in certain light, not visible when being worn. Happy to provide photos once contacted.
I am 173cm tall, if the hem were to be further taken up, wear would not be visible.

There are variations to this striped gown, this one does not have the bows on the sleeves or back.

Alterations

The dress was altered to my exact measurements by the tailor recommended by Sphere Boutique. The hem line was raised to be floor length with my wedding shoes on. The shoulders and waist were fitted.
