The Dress

Stunning Jenny Packham Papillon wedding gown purchased for $7500 from Helen Rodrigues Bridal boutique in Neutral Bay. It has not been worn and has been kept professionally sealed since*.

Jenny Packham’s Papillon gown (butterfly in French) is a stunning example of sophisticated design and art nouveau elegance. Swarovski crystals are hand sewn onto layers of tulle, silk chiffon and heavy silk, creating a gown that exudes ethereal magic. Embellished tulle butterfly wings overlay a luxurious heavy matt silk and silk organza, draping and skimming the body for a flattering silhouette, a small train creating subtle drama.

Ethereal, dreamy, elegant – a little 1920’s Midsummer Nights Dream, this dress is in pristine condition, feels comfortable and looks incredible on. In a way, I am loathe to sell it as I think it’s the most dreamy, ethereal dress and I adore it, but would love someone to wear it on their special day, as it’s too beautiful to remain unworn.
