The Aubern Maxi Gown

Rich burgundy satin, asymmetrical one-shoulder neckline, statement tulle shoulder detail, wrap-style skirt, front slit, floor-length — the Lara Louise Designs Aubern Gown is R7,500 of Stellenbosch craftsmanship, rented for R1,399.

The Aubern is the most dramatic and structurally sophisticated piece in the Lara Louise Designs collection. Lustrous burgundy satin skims the body with a sleek, confident profile — this is a gown that has a clear understanding of what it is. An asymmetrical one-shoulder neckline gives the silhouette immediate architectural presence, elevated further by a statement tulle shoulder detail that adds soft volume and high-fashion impact without overwhelming the clean lines of the gown. Below, a flattering wrap-style skirt construction shapes the hips beautifully before a front slit introduces ease of movement and a touch of allure. Floor-length, fully considered, and completely distinctive.

The Aubern is the Lara Louise Designs piece for black-tie events, winter weddings, formal galas, and any occasion that demands a gown with genuine presence.

Size + Fit: Size UK 12, true to size. The satin has minimal stretch and is best suited to a true size 12 — accurate measurements through the bust, waist, and hips are essential. The wrap-style skirt accommodates naturally through the hips. The one-shoulder construction means a conventional bra is not possible on that side — fashion tape or a specialised one-shoulder bra solution is recommended. The front slit sits at mid-thigh and allows comfortable movement in the floor-length hemline.

Satin may crease in transit — hang on arrival and steam lightly on the day of your event for a flawless finish.
