Cesar Chehade, Custom Made

Custom-made Chantilly lace gown by renowned Australian designer Cesar Chehade, inspired by the iconic Monique L’Huillier Alexandra gown. This elegant statement dress features a structured silhouette, exquisite corded French lace, and a sweeping 3m train.

The strapless gown is crafted from delicate corded Chantilly lace with a structured panelled skirt that creates beautiful shape and movement. It has an in-built corset and nude lining beneath the lace overlay, allowing the fit to be adjusted slightly for a tighter or looser feel.

A romantic row of covered buttons runs down the back of the gown and is mirrored on the sleeves of the matching bolero. The dramatic 3m train can be bustled for the reception.

Included with the dress is a cathedral-length tulle veil and a French lace, scalloped off-the-shoulder bolero, worn for the ceremony and removable for the reception — giving you two distinct bridal looks.

The gown was worn once by the original bride and once for my wedding and has since been professionally dry cleaned, and carefully stored in pristine condition.
