The Dress

With a heavy heart I am selling my stunning custom made wedding dress. This one of a kind dress is by the world renowned Australian designer, Nektaria.

This couture gown is covered in exquisite hand stitched lace, created by various skilled artisans across the world. The nature of this lace is so intricate that it takes a great deal of time to be made and to arrive in Australia from different countries, such as Italy. The various pieces of lace were then hand stitched to the base of the gown in Australia.

This bespoke dress grew from the incredible "Venice" style and was customised with extra Swarovski crystals and pearls around the neckline and through the bodice. The sleeves also differ from the original design as the extra detail in the lace is more intricate and includes subtle beading and small pearls. Nektaria referred to the gown as "the new Venice" with this being the first of it's kind to have this style of lace on the sleeves.

Conveniently, a bra is sewn into the dress so you will not need to wear one on the day.

The gown gives a striking sheer appearance but has been customised to provide modesty via the careful placement of extra lace and lining in areas to ensure the gown is not too revealing.

The sheer back has a divine sting of pearls down the centre as do the sleeves.

The dress has a few very minor tears in the back of the train which are only visible if you look very closely. The price has been reduced due to this. Since my wedding Nektaria started offering the Venice gown to be purchased online and has increased the price of the dress. The original Venice design was advertised on the website for AU $15,000. The price has since been taken down, however, I have a screenshot if you would like to see. So you know you are getting an incredible price.

A note on the designer-
Nektaria has designed gowns for celebrities such as Heather Altman from Million Dollar Listings, Daymond John (American millionaire and Shark Tank investor)'s wife and Aysha Mehajer the now ex wife of Salim Auban who's lavish wedding shut down a Sydney street. Nektaria has become known world wide and flies out around the world to meet exclusively with brides in London and a selection of other countries.

This dress would be perfect for brides not based in Melbourne as it requires many appointments with Nektaria and her team to create.

The dress took over 15 appointments in Middle Park to be made, each lasting around an hour plus countless hours to have it made to perfection. It was also taken in many times in the process of being made so If the gown is too big for you, you know it can be taken in with ease.

In addition to the huge saving on the price of the dress you would also be avoiding Nektaria's $100 fee to meet with her and be shown her collection.

A note on dry cleaning-
The gown has been dry-cleaned perfectly by Syndal's in Armadale which was voted Australia's best bridal dry cleaners by Vogue Magazine. There is evidence of this on the Syndal's Instagram page. The dress is currently in a Sydnal's preservation bag, covered in a special tissue paper that prevents discolouration. You will of course also be given the original Nektaria dress bag as well.

Please note the pearl veil (pictured) is not included in the sale.

Melbourne Brides are most welcome to try the dress on at my home in the North-East region.
