Essense of Australia, D2602

This gown embodies the romantic, ethereal beauty Essense of Australia is known for. It is soft, feminine, and full of movement. D2602 blends modern fit‑and‑flare structure with delicate lace sleeves and a breathtaking keyhole back that feels both timeless and unforgettable.

This is a sample gown purchased from Novella Bridal, in bridal size 12, with only the lightest signs of try‑on wear. The lace mesh at the top of the keyhole back has a few small holes near the neckline, and a few of the buttons need re‑securing. -It is a simple, inexpensive fix any experienced seamstress can handle. Other than that area at the top of the keyhole, the gown is in beautiful condition.

The lace is soft and detailed, the long sleeves are elegant without feeling heavy, and the silhouette hugs in all the right places before flowing into a romantic fit‑and‑flare skirt. This gown is flattering, modern, and stunning in photos.

If you’ve been dreaming of a gown that feels romantic, feminine, and effortlessly graceful, this D2602 is exactly that.

I really thought this dress was going to be my dress, but I absolutely fell in love with another gown the day after I purchased this one on StillWhite. I did take this gown to an alterations specialist, who said that repairing the top of the keyhole back was not a problem and would not cost much. That is the only thing I felt this gown needed; it is otherwise absolutely perfect and stunning. It was a perfect fit for me and a stunning gown. It was shipped directly from Novella Bridal in CA on 3/24/26 and has been safely stored in a smoke- and pet-free environment in a gown bag since, except for one try-on by me and a showing to my alteration lady. I am just trying to get back what I paid, and this gown is a steal at this price, even with needing a little bit of repair.
