The Dress

Viktor & Rolf's tulle gown, ’flower bouquet’ embellishments trickles from the shoulder into an asymmetrical bodice that leads way into a voluminous tulle skirt.

Purchased in December 2023 from the official Viktor & Rolf retailer in Hong Kong (The LOFT Bridal). The dress is just minimally altered (waistline and hem) to keep the original design intact as much as possible. The neckline (chest area) and flowers were particularly critical to the design and I have intentionally ensured the seamstress did not change anything.

Wore this for 1.5 hours during my wedding ceremony and received so many compliments. Definitely a dress for a bride who wants a classic bridal gown yet not too feminine or one that speaks loudly of the designer!

Professionally dry cleaned and stored under professional climate-controlled storage.

Purchased at retail price HKD 63,000; official receipt available. Unless a retailer has this dress off the rack, a made-to-order Viktor and Rolf wedding gown will take more than 4 months. The shortest lead time is 3 months with a rush fee of 15% additional. As I purchased the gown in December, I also understand the brand stops taking rush orders during the time leading up to Christmas.

Alterations

Shortened hem and waistline adjusted to fit my body.
