About the Dress

"A Dress Meant for Dreams"

Years before I even got engaged, I stumbled upon a breathtaking Loui Col Designs wedding dress on Pinterest. The intricate lace details, the contemporary silhouette, and the romantic elegance made it unforgettable. I pinned it instantly, dreaming of the day I might wear something so beautiful. When my engagement became a reality, I revisited that dream dress. However, at $2,000, it was out of my price range.

Determined to make my dream come true, I began searching for alternatives, hoping to find a tailor who could replicate the look. Then, as if by fate, I found this exact dress pre-loved by another bride in Australia (I am in U.S.A). I purchased it, holding my breath, hoping it would fit well enough for minor tailoring. When it arrived, it was nearly perfect. With a few small adjustments—adding modesty inserts in the chest area and a bustle in the back—it transformed into the dress of my dreams.

On my wedding day, the compliments were endless. To this day, I believe it’s the most beautiful dress I’ve ever seen. Wearing it was one of the highlights of my special day, and I hope it brings the next bride just as much joy as it brought me.

This size 10 Loui Col Designs dress has been professionally cleaned and carefully preserved in a special garment bag, ready for its next chapter. It’s truly a timeless piece that combines elegance, romance, and a touch of modern sophistication.

Alterations

The dress features a nude insert in the chest area for added coverage and an optional bustle in the back, perfect for transitioning from ceremony to reception. Since the design doesn't accommodate a traditional bra, I used a silicone bandeau for comfortable and seamless support. Amazon sells for under $30.
