The Dress

I'm selling my beautiful wedding outfit by Australian brand, Lola Varma (https://www.vogue.com.au/brides/news/comfort-over-covet-meet-the-australian-bridal-label-doing-what-others-arent/news-story/d85826aa7905274ca33aa2df126f1607).

I am open to selling both pieces separately.

The outfit consists of a romantic, off-the-shoulder top (Parvia) in luxurious, heavyweight silk crepe de chine, and a sculptural skirt (Delfina) constructed also in silk crepe de chine, fitted around the hips, flourishing into an elongated train. The top has a curved hem, and is longer at the back than the front, it also has a fitted bodice underneath with an invisible zip. The skirt is double lined, creating a flattering smoothing affect across the hips and stomach.

Both pieces are elegant, minimal and SO incredibly comfortable! It is difficult to capture in still image the beautiful way in which these pieces move.

I had these pieces constructed in 2018 by Lola Varma, and they were stored away in a smoke-free, dry home in the original Lola Varma garment bag until my wedding in March 2019. Since our wedding, they have been professionally dry-cleaned and again stored in their original garment bag in a smoke-free, dry home.

The pieces have only been worn once and are in good condition with a few minor marks:

- There are three very small and faint marks in total, all on the skirt. Two are on the back of the skirt, about half-way down - these marks are a faint blue colour, about 1mm in diameter. There is also a small, faint, brownish mark near the hem, also on the exterior of the skirt. All marks are virtually unnoticeable once on the body, unless someone is looking up close.

- A small area of the stitching on the invisible zip on the bodice has come undone, but would be a very quick and easy fix.

Measurements are as follows (as accurate to the best of my measuring-ability!):

Skirt:
Waistband: 35cm flat (seam to seam)
Hips: 48cmcm flat (seam to seam)
Front length: 103/104cm (down centre)
Back length: 130/133cm (down centre)

Top:
Shoulders (along very top): 44cm (NB: this is un-stretched, there is elastic built in to allow stretch and movement)
Front length (of top layer): 38cm (down centre)
Back length (of top layer): 51cm (down centre)
Bust (bodice): 56cm (seam to seam)
Waist (bodice): 37cm (seam to seam)

Alterations

I originally purchased both pieces in a size 12, although at the time of my wedding I was a size 10. I had the bodice on the top taken in at the seams and re-darted to fit my waist, making it a true size 10. The skirt I left as is, but in hindsight I wore it a little large (extra room for eating and dancing!). I did however have the hem taken up slightly. The alterations were made by Meg's in Auckland - their bridal service is second to none.

Because of the alterations I have indicated in the listing that the outfit is size 10, although the skirt is still a 12 (I was unable to list two sizes, sorry and would prefer to sell this as a set).

I can provide all measurements on request, but as a guide please see the Lola Varma sizing chart here: https://www.lolavarma.com/sizing/
