The Dress

I have always dreamed of wearing a GLL gown for my special day. I made the trip all the way to the Gold Coast showroom to try on a few gowns and had my heart set on the Rosa when I tried her on.

She is so elegant, yet comfortable as she stretches and fits to your body. With a beautiful stretch ivory lining, layered with fine open-thread geometric lace and complemented with the main oversized stretch rose embroidery for simplicity, luxury and intrigue. She is a call out to modern art with her stunning, contemporary rose pattern embroidery and elegant silhouette.

I felt so comfortable all day and night in the Rosa and it really moulded to my body instead of wearing a stiff and structured dress with zips, buttons etc. With the Rosa I just had to slip it over my body! The fabric is so beautiful that you don't even need to steam press it.

I am only selling her off as I am planning to move overseas and don't have the option to keep her safely in my wardrobe anymore. The only flaws to the Rosa is the finger loop that holds the train up, I had to restitch the loop back on the day itself as it came undone (make sure to bring emergency sewing kit with whatever dress you buy!) If I could rewind, I would have also worn more seamless spanx as the Rosa hugs your waist so well that the line can be seen if not seamless.

GLL strictly recommended not to dry clean the Rosa due to its delicate laces and fabric, so I have hand washed the gown as per their suggestion - I am amazed at how easily it was to wash off the stains from the wedding day with just cold water, a little soap, stain remover and lots of love.

She also comes in her original packaging, dress bag, and box included.

She was made to my body measurements and delivered to me in February 2019. I dressed the Rosa with a white blazer from Zara for my night reception look (pic included!)

All pictures are of what the Rosa looked like on the day and night of my wedding, with the last picture taken on 9th May 2020 to show the condition it is in currently.

Alterations

Added in a thicker cup (can be easily removed) for extra support and took the length in slightly by maybe 2-3cm.

I know a wonderful wedding dress seamstress and tailor if you need recommendations too! She handled my dress so delicately and had a lot of knowledge on how to alter intricate lace.
