The Dress

The 'Sienna' gown is timelessly elegant. The beaded material is heavy and drapes elegantly across your body creating a beautiful shape. The deep v neckline shows of the décolletage and is beautifully complimented by the backless, booty hugging rear.

I tried on a myriad of dresses before finally settling on the 'Sienna' gown. We had a Black Tie wedding and I wanted to a dress the evoked 'Old Hollywood Glamour'.

I love the slimline silhouette of this dress. The deep neckline accentuated my bust and the drappery at the back is feminine and delicate. The sheath skirt hugs nicely on the hips and around the bottom to create just enough curves. I felt like a goddess.

My dress is an XS or AU8. I'm usually a size 8/10 and have athletic/straight figure.
I'm 170cms tall and wore a 5cm heal so the dress is approximately 175cm in length.

The dress has been professionally dry-cleaned (of course!) and is ready for you to try on and take home!

For now I am uploading photos shot from my iPhone. I will replace these with the professional photos in time. Please google 'Mariana Hardwick Sienna' for additional images of the dress. NB: this dress is still available in the current Mariana Hardwick range. Save yourself some money and buy it from me :)

I'm also selling my rose gold crown (pictured). I purchased it from Eternal Bridal, Sydney for $299. Selling for $149. It's in perfect condition.

I made a small alteration to lower the clip above the zip by 1cm to give more breadth to the waist.
I added a bustle to the back so I could gather the train to dance with out stepping on the dress.
I added cups to create a the appearance of a fuller bust. This can be removed if desired.
