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:

  • 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

  • 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.
