Phillipa Lepley, Nude Serena

Phillipa Lepley Nude Serena Custom Made

Phillipa Lepley Italian duchess satin dress. Purchased ‘off the rack’ from the Phillipa Lepley shop on the Fulham Road and altered by my own tailor. I wore this dress with the Phillipa Lepley Persephone Honeysuckle detachable overlay on top as seen in one of the photos and in the video, which I would be happy to sell separately. Please note this listing is for the duchess satin dress only.

Purchased in 2024 and worn in June 2025, this is a stunning princess-line strapless gown with a sweetheart neckline and a full skirt and train.

The dress is approximately a size 12 (UK). I'm a busty size 12, 5'5” and wore 4cm heels.

The dress hooks up at the back (bustle effect) for dancing. The dress is corseted inside with small satin buttons at the back. I’m happy to include the satin sash if you’d like it.

There are a few very minor marks on the train when you look very closely on the inside of the dress and some thread pulls which I have included photos of, but these aren’t really visible when the dress is on. There is a small bit of damage at the bottom of the buttons at the back but this is easily repaired - I haven’t done so as whomever wears this next will likely need to alter it at the waist anyway.

I am happy to share further images and or videos. I’m based in Clapham, London and happy for you to come and see the dress before buying.

Dry cleaned by Bentleys of London (recommended by Phillipa Lepley) and in the original gown bag.

Please let me know if you have any questions. It's too beautiful a dress to be put away and remain unworn.
