Fit Notes

Luxury and couture gowns can fit very differently from standard retail sizing. This gown is a custom size (approx. AU 12) and may best suit a bride between AU 10–12, depending on bust, waist, hip, height, and desired fit.

We recommend an in-person appointment to assess fit and discuss alteration possibilities.

 

Styling Notes

This gown would suit a bride drawn to modern, editorial bridal styling. It pairs beautifully with a sleek bun or soft wave, statement earrings, and a cathedral or minimalist veil for a refined, fashion-forward look.
