Black crepe, statement rosette at the shoulder, floor-length column silhouette — The Petra Gown by Lovers & Friends is a masterclass in modern romantic dressing, from R959.

Effortlessly elevated and unmistakably chic, the Petra arrives with one defining detail that does all the work: a sculptural rosette at the one-shoulder neckline that adds artful dimension and quiet drama without overwhelming the clean, flowing silhouette beneath. Midweight crepe with a graceful side seam slit ensures the gown moves beautifully from the ceremony to the dance floor. Fully lined with a hidden side zip, this is occasion dressing with nothing left to chance.

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.
