Hera Couture, Custom Made

Selling my authentic, beautifully customized Hera Couture Leona gown, a modern yet timeless dress with clean lines and incredible structure. The gown was customized for me by the designer to have a bodice with a romantic sweetheart neckline (rather than the deep v-neck featured on the original gown) and is original to the dress as received from the boutique. All of the materials and the general structure of the dress are otherwise consistent with the Leona descriptions found on the Hera Couture website. Originally paid $4900 (before taxes). This dress is perfect for a petite mid-size bride looking for a designer gown that is classic and subtly dramatic.

Alterations include hemming (floor-length on 5’1” with hiking boots on), customized and removable straps/sleeves made with the excess cut off from the hem, a more robust hook closure at the top of the back zipper, slight bust adjustments for shaping (34H bust in UK sizing), and a ballroom bustle for easy movement during the reception.

The floral appliques featured on this dress are stunning. The structured bodice provides secure support for larger busts and gives a smooth silhouette. My personal favorite feature is that it has pockets! This gown photographs beautifully from every angle.

Worn once and professionally cleaned - very minor marking around the hem (pictured with a ruler for scale), most of which is not visible under the layers of the dress, no damage. I absolutely love this dress and hope it can make you feel as good as it made me feel!
