About the Gown

 

The Stella gown by Mariana Hardwick is a striking choice for the bride drawn to modern simplicity, beautiful structure and a statement silhouette.

 

Crafted in Light Ivory Mikado, Stella features a clean strapless neckline, structured bodice and full skirt with a leg split. The weight and body of the Mikado give the gown its sculptural shape while keeping the overall look refined and timeless.

 

The understated design allows the silhouette and fabric to take centre stage, making Stella particularly beautiful for a modern, editorial or black-tie wedding.

 

This gown is preloved, professionally dry cleaned and presented in immaculate condition, with no visible flaws noted.
