The Snow Gown

Ivory satin, cowl neckline, dramatic open back, sculptural rosette waist, high slit, floor-length — the Lara Louise Designs Snow Gown is R6,000 of Stellenbosch bridal craft, rented for R1,089.

The Snow Gown is the most refined piece in the Lara Louise Designs catalogue. Luminous ivory satin with a soft, fluid drape creates a silhouette that is simultaneously minimal and architectural — a clean cowl neckline at the front gives way to a dramatic open back that makes an immediate impression, a sculptural rosette detail at the waist adds handcrafted artisanal texture to an otherwise streamlined silhouette, and a high leg slit introduces movement and a modern edge to the floor-length hemline. This is not a dress that shouts. It is a dress that is absolutely certain of itself.

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

Size + Fit: Size S (UK 8–10), true to size. The fluid satin drapes naturally from the cowl neckline through the bodice with a streamlined, body-skimming fit. The open back means no bra — fashion tape or adhesive cups are recommended. The high slit sits at mid-thigh and allows comfortable movement. Accurate measurements through the bust and waist are the key consideration for this silhouette.

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