The Dress

I bought this dress and cape in November 2018 and eloped on the 8th December 2018. It has been worn once for approximately 4 hours. I was an older bride (43) and the first 3 photos are of my wedding. The last photo is a model from the GLL website. I am a standard size 14 and this dress was an off the rack purchase. No alterations were made to the body of the dress. Just 1 inch off the length. If you would like to try the dress on first, I am happy to make arrangements with you.

The following description is from the GLL website:-
The perfect minimalist gown for the woman who adores luxury and simplicity. There is something so special about a bias cut silk gown and Arlo epitomises that effortless glamour. As part of our new ELIXIR collection we have designed some incredibly stylish capes that are designed to wear over Arlo. Winnie, Pierre and Yoko allow you to create your own look or multiple looks throughout the day and night.

Our Arlo gown is so buttery soft that you’ll never want to take it off.

The luxurious and sleek silhouette of the Arlo gown begins with a flattering soft V neckline and thin silk straps, complimented by adjustable gold hardware. Handmade with a double layer of matte Crepe de Chine silk, our Arlo gown has been bias cut for an alluring, figure hugging fit. This dress has a train.

THE ROBERTA CAPE.
Dramatic and utterly romantic, the Roberta Cape (pictured worn over our Arlo gown) from our B L A N C Collection was designed to create impact. Made for the Unique Bride who is boundless and bold, the Roberta Cape is for the woman who isn’t afraid to make an entrance.

Our timeless Roberta Cape has been handmade in Australia with a double layer of fine French Chantilly lace. This luxurious and unique piece is an open cape with arm holes and can be attached to our Arlo gown with its button and loop fastening. Finishing with a frill and a dramatic 1-metre train, which effortlessly glides down the aisle, the Roberta Cape makes an unforgettable statement and is a stunning option for brides not wanting to wear a veil but still wanting something showstopping.

Alterations

The dress has been altered. Taken up by approximately 1 inch. I am 174cm tall and the dress sits nicely just above a peeptoe shoe.

The cape has a small button attached so it can be bussled.
