$5590 AUD
The Summer Basque & Elle gown is our latest structured halter neck ball gown with a twist! She is Old Hollywood glamour and contemporary chic wrapped up into one. Paired back or accessorised whilst following true to the ‘simple-yet-statement’ appeal that so many of our bride’s love, this wedding gown has details that will make you stand out but still lets you shine as the beautiful bride you are.
Inspired by the iconic Marilyn Monroe white dress, Summer is our structured and fully corseted halter neck bodice with that vintage old money aesthetic. Made in our classic Mikado fabrication, the soft halter straps wrap around the neck. Markedly elongating the decolletage with the plunging v-neckline, and offering pure elegance and femineity. This bodice features double boned corsetry, creating amazing support and structure. Not to mention, showcasing your waist and creating a statuesque physique. The Summer bodice is effortless and sophisticated. Style her as an elegant old money gown with a modern twist for your big day, or lean into her vintage vibes and bring out your inner 50’s film star.
Additionally, The Elle skirt is our latest soft yet structured A-line skirt. With layers of billowing tulle, the Elle skirt speaks volumes to any bridal look. She creates that classic and effortlessly chic wedding look that still remains timeless. As you walk, a soft and full train follows behind your every move, creating that luxury wedding dress silhouette. The Elle skirt is the epitome of that classic bridal aesthetic that will stand the test of time.
Wear this stunning halter neck ball gown with our Maddison Gloves and a pair of statement pearl earrings to lean into the vintage styling. Alternatively, opt for a Faux Fur Wrap for the perfect winter wedding look.
Styling Your Gown
The Summer Basque & Elle can be styled in many ways. She looks incredible with a statement veil like our 2 tier Chantilly Lace veil. Alternatively, opt for a more simple style like our Honor veil.
