✨ Hera Couture ‘Cadence with Sleeves’ & Les Accessories Cathedral Veil

I’m selling my dream wedding dress - the stunning ‘Cadence with Sleeves’ by Hera Couture (NZ designer) - along with a Les Accessories cathedral mantilla veil that completes the look perfectly.

This dress made me feel incredible - elegant, confident and completely myself. It’s the kind of gown that feels classic and modern all at once, with enough drama to make it unforgettable.

About the Dress
• Designer: Hera Couture
• Style: Cadence with Sleeves
• Colour: Ivory
• Size: C0 / UK20 (I was around an AU16 at the time of my wedding, I had the dress altered)
• Measurements (from designer): Bust 43.5” | Waist 36” | Hips 46.5”
• RRP: $4,625

The Cadence features Hera’s signature structured corset bodice with exposed boning - it gives an amazing shape and support - and a full lace overlay that feels both romantic and luxurious. The detachable lace sleeves add a soft, ethereal feel (and make it easy to change up your look between ceremony and reception).

It’s in excellent condition and has been professionally cleaned. The fabric, lace, and structure are still perfect.

The Veil
• Designer: Les Accessories
• Style: V2927 one-tier mantilla
• Length: 3x3.5m cathedral
• Colour: Off White
• RRP: $615

This veil is absolutely breathtaking - light, flowy and edged in lace that ties in beautifully with the dress. It photographed like a dream and really completed the look.

⸻

This gown is a dream for anyone who wants something timeless yet modern, structured yet soft. The quality of Hera Couture really shines, the craftsmanship is next level. I felt comfortable all day, even with the corset, and the fabric moved beautifully when walking or dancing.

If you’re local (Lake Macquarie / Newcastle area), you’re more than welcome to come try it on. I’d love for another bride to feel as special in it as I did.

Asking around half price for both pieces - open to reasonable offers.
Happy to sell separately if preferred.

Alterations

This gown was expertly altered by @designbyB (Newcastle, NSW) — she specialises in wedding gowns and knows this dress inside out
She can also assist with any future adjustments if needed
Alterations include:
• Bodice restructured for extra bust support and shape
• Taken in slightly under the bum area for a more flattering silhouette
• Support buttons added down the back of the dress
• Hemmed slightly – I’m 172 cm tall, and it still has generous length
• Removable padding added to enhance shape (easily taken out if preferred)
All work was done to maintain the integrity and original design of the gown while giving it an even more tailored, sculpted fit
