Maria Lucia Hohan, The Jolie

A dream dress for the bride who wants something sculptural, romantic, and unmistakably designer. The Jolie is one of Maria Lucia Hohan's signature bridal styles; a Romanian-French luxury label beloved for its red-carpet silk craftsmanship and worn by celebrities including Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, and Taylor Swift.

The gown features a slender boned strapless bodice with sheer lace inserts along the neckline and back, built-in padded cups, and a concealed zipper on the skirt. The ankle-length silhouette follows the body closely, with a high slit under an asymmetrically draped silk panel that cascades elegantly down the side minimal from the front, stunning from behind.
Wearing it feels like almost nothing at all. It's 100% silk mousseline and is so weightless it borders on ethereal, while the boning holds you in a way that feels sculpted and supported rather than structured. Think Swan Lake: balletic and romantic, but with a high slit and a body-skimming fit that keeps it firmly in the realm of sexy. It is genuinely one of those dresses where you feel as beautiful as you look. I have a 34-D chest/ 32/DD and this held be comfortably.

The adjustable back is amazing. It can accommodate roughly a size up or down, which means it moved with me through the whole day without ever needing a single tug. This also was a relif leading up to the day, no pressure to keep my body exactly the same.

Fabric: 100% silk mousseline in pearl white
Size: FR 38 / US 6 — adjustable back fits approximately US 4–8
Condition: Worn once for an hour, professionally cleaned excellent condition - no alterations. Includes the designer box, proof of authenticity.

Plenty of brides spend this much on a poly-blend gown. This is 100% silk with couture-level construction — and I loved it so much I bought the same dress in a second color! That's the only reason it's for sale. I briefly considered dyeing it, but this dress deserves to be someone's wedding gown again. Ask me any questions!
