Pale pink, layers of micro-pleated tulle, ruffled bodice, spaghetti straps, statement open back, full-length — the Lara Louise Designs Ballet Maxi is R6,600 of Stellenbosch romance, rented for R1,299.

The Ballet is the most ethereal piece in the Lara Louise Designs collection. Whisper-light pale pink tulle built in romantic micro-pleated layers creates extraordinary volume, softness, and movement — the kind of gown that photographs beautifully in every light and feels effortless to wear despite the visual impact. Delicate spaghetti straps keep the top refined and airy, a ruffled bodice detail adds dimension and femininity, and a statement open back introduces a modern, unexpected edge to an otherwise purely romantic silhouette. Full-length, graceful, and completely distinctive.

Proudly made in Stellenbosch by an all-women team. Designer Lara Steenkamp also offers bespoke, custom-made gowns on request.

The details:

  • Layers of whisper-light pale pink micro-pleated tulle — soft volume and romantic texture
  • Romantic tiered silhouette with beautiful movement
  • Delicate spaghetti straps — airy and feminine
  • Ruffled bodice detail — adds softness and dimension
  • Statement open back — a modern, elegant edge
  • Full-length hemline — graceful and occasion-ready
  • Lightweight and ethereal despite the visual impact
  • Handcrafted in Stellenbosch by Lara Louise Designs' all-women team
  • Perfect for garden weddings, formal celebrations, bridal events, engagement parties, baby showers, maternity photoshoots, and any romantic occasion that calls for something genuinely extraordinary

Size + Fit: Size M (UK 10–12), with a soft, floaty fit through the body. The lightweight tulle and relaxed silhouette accommodate comfortable movement and a range of body shapes. The spaghetti straps mean no bra — boob tape recommended for support. The open back is the key fit consideration — it sits low and requires no bra strap. Tulle volume accommodates hip sizes generously.

Tulle may settle in transit — hang on arrival and shake gently to restore volume. A light steam if needed.

Please do not pin, alter, or adjust garments. Any alterations may result in liability for the item's full replacement value. Questions? WhatsApp us at 079 393 4213.

How To Rent

Choose your rental start date on the calendar (the day you'd like your item to arrive) and select a 4-day, 8-day or 16-day rental. Bookings must be placed at least one day in advance, and weekends are greyed out as we don't deliver on Saturdays or Sundays. If your rental ends on a weekend or public holiday, we'll collect on the next working day.

How do delivery and returns work?

Delivery and return collection are both pre-booked for you, so there's nothing to arrange. Your rental arrives ready to wear, and when you're done, simply repack it in the same box, garment bag and hanger it came in, attach the return waybill, and have it ready for collection on your final rental day. See full shipping info here.

What's covered, and can I cancel?

Every rental includes snag & spill insurance, covering minor damage like small marks and broken zips (specialist stain removal is charged separately). Plans changed? Cancel 5 or more working days before your start date for a full refund, a reschedule, or a gift card. See our full Cancellation & Flexibility Policy for details.
