Kate Willa, Roj Gown

Kate Willa ‘Roj’ Wedding Dress

I’m selling my beautiful Kate Willa Roj gown, worn once on my wedding day and professionally dry cleaned immediately afterwards. Photos are of me wearing it.

Handmade to order in Kate Willa’s Byron Bay studio, the Roj is a stunning full-length vintage-inspired French lace gown featuring delicate French lace with hand-beaded pearls and cream crystal like beads. It is beautifully lightweight, timeless and comfortable.

The gown was purchased new for $5,300 AUD in 2025.

I wear a size 6 and my measurements are:
Bust: 80cm
Waist: 68cm
Hip: 92cm

Please note, the lace fabric is a stretch lace and the lining is 3 layers of stretch powermesh.

All modifications were completed in-house by Kate Willa during the creation of the gown, including:

* Hemming to suit my height (my height is 170cm but 175cm while wearing my wedding shoes)
* A slightly deeper V-shaped lace-up back for a more flattering silhouette

The dress has since been professionally dry cleaned. There is some very light residual staining, however it is only visible upon very close inspection and is predominantly on the inside of the dress, making it unnoticeable when worn.

For reference, I am 170 cm tall without heels.

This gown was incredibly comfortable to wear and would be perfect for a bride looking for a unique, handcrafted Australian designer dress at a significant saving.
