The Dress

Your chance to wear an exquisite, original, couture designer dress by Lisa Gowing with matching veil.

Lisa Gowing has an amazing talent to create not only beautifully crafted dresses, but also to produce shapes that emphasise the best of the female form. Her designs have graced the pages of Vogue Brides, Bazaar Brides and Cosmopolitan Bride.

This bespoke dress is based on a combination of two of Lisa's styles - Lola and Isla. There is a romance, elegance and vintage feel to this stunning dress. It is inspired by the Golden Era of Hollywood and is adorned with exclusive European lace and features an A-line layered tulle skirt.

I am a model with Vivien's and I have worked with Lisa for many years as one of her models and know her range intimately. We worked closely together to utilise the most flattering and impressive aspects of her dresses and design the perfect wedding dress. Combining two of Lisa's designs allowed me to create something unique, while allowing me the confidence to know that the styles work really well.

I am a former Miss Universe Australia and have appeared in Bridal magazines in Australia and overseas. I have had plenty of opportunity to experience the best of evening and bridal wear. Lisa is the most talented designer I have come across in my years of experience and it was a pleasure to wear one of her dresses on my big day.

The dress was made in May 2014, it is cream and a size 8.

Length of the skirt: 117cm (slightly longer at the back)
From a free standing measurement (not an exact seamstress measurement) Bust: 85cm Waist: 66cm

The value of the dress and veil new was $5,260. This is a fantastic price for an incredible dress that is guaranteed to be an eye catching, show stopping gown.

The dress comes with garment bag, optional bra cups, spare buttons and receipt of purchase.

Fittings can be arranged in North Bondi.
