My dream gown beautifully merges the essence of my Cook Island heritage with a contemporary design. It features a graceful boat neckline and an elegant low back, complemented by flowing bell sleeves. I envision the gown crafted from intricate lace and beaded detailing, with a figure-hugging silhouette that cascades into a delicate, floral-inspired train. I would love tivaevae-inspired floral patterns adorning the chest, thighs, and the bottom of the gown, creating a stunning blend of tradition and modernity.

I wanted to create a wedding wardrobe that combines my love for fashion with versatility. I envision a look that offers multiple styles throughout the day, while also allowing me to mix and match pieces for everyday wear.

For the core of the outfit, I’ve designed a corset top that can be paired with three different skirts—one for the ceremony, one for the reception, and one for the after-party. Each skirt offers a unique look, but the corset top can easily transition between them. I’ve also included accessories to further transform the look, making it adaptable to every moment of the day.

The corset features a deep drop waist with a lace-up back and a soft panel behind it, providing both structure and comfort.

Ceremony skirts:
A classic ball gown skirt with a split for a touch of modern flair.

Reception skirt:
A fitted, draped skirt that flows out at the bottom for a flattering and sophisticated shape.

After Party skirt:
A chic A-line mini skirt that’s the perfect length for dancing and fun.

My dream wedding gown features a draped neckline adorned with delicate lace trim, which gracefully extends to the back topline. The off-shoulder drape sleeves add a romantic, ethereal touch, while the skirt reveals a stunning split, showcasing intricate lace details beneath the flowing fabric. The dress boasts a refined, voluminous A-line silhouette that effortlessly flatters the figure. Sparkling sequins are sewn onto the lace accents, offering a subtle yet captivating shimmer. Crafted from luxurious Mikado silk, the gown is structured with boning in the bodice for a flattering shape, and fastens with an invisible zipper at the center back, elegantly finished with lace-covered buttons.

My dream dress is a perfect blend of timeless elegance and modern sophistication, a gown that will still look classic and beautiful when looked back on in the years to come. It features subtle designs that enhance its classy feel, while still offering versatility to effortlessly transition between the ceremony and reception. This dress embodies the magic of a fairy tale wedding, designed for a modern bride who values both convenience and a bit of fun.

Key Features:

- Structured neckline for a more defined, elegant look.
- Princess-style ball gown skirt with a rounded train, offering a grand yet graceful silhouette.
- A design with beautiful lines and fabric that creates a flowy, drapey feel as you move.
- The versatility to go strapless or add sleeves, allowing for different vibes throughout the day.
- A detachable bow at the back of the mini dress, adding a touch of drama, elongating the silhouette, and enhancing the overall look.
- Crafted from matte satin fabric for a timeless, sophisticated finish.

This dress combines the best of both worlds—a classic, fairy-tale aesthetic with a contemporary twist, offering elegance and a playful touch for a memorable wedding day. 

I like to think of it as simply sophisticated, I have carried out a lot of research so far and am unable to find much similar!! Winning this competition and being able to receive the design I envision would be an absolute miracle!

My dream dress would have multiple elements so I can interchange pieces between ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. I envision a strapless silk corset/bodice with detachable cuff sleeves, an a-line or column style skirt and a lace trim veil for the ceremony. I’d swap the veil for a long trailing neck scarf for photos/cocktail hour. A simple silk or silk/lace combo mini skirt to be worn for the reception with lace sleeves.

My dream dress is a mix between soft with some edgy sides. Its a high neck long sleeve mermaid-ish dress with add ons for the ceremony. The dress is covered with 3D flowers and soft lace, with a illusion back. The back has buttons running from the neck down to the train of the dress. To add a change there are detachable capes on the shoulders instead of a veil.

My best friend has dreamed of getting married in a Trish Peng dress since I've known her (over a decade). I want to surprise her by bringing that dream to life.

I’ve been secretly gathering details — screenshots, notes, and design inspirations from her.

I've done my best to capture her vision: heavy silk, delicate beading, a slim mermaid skirt, and an elegant bodice.

My dream wedding dress is a stunning halter-neck gown with head-to-toe lace, inspired by timeless elegance like the Trish Peng Millie dress. The dress features built-in breast padding and boning to sculpt the waist, the low back draws the eye to graceful curves, while the dramatic train adds a touch of show-stopping allure. A dream dress that celebrates both style and artistry! I really like the lace used in the Millie dress, but want something that hugs the body and celebrates my curves. The dress would come with an optional overskirt using the same lace pattern but with added weight and drama!

I have always wanted a wedding dress that holds the beauty of simplicity and idea of timeless capsule garment while incorporating small details of modern design. In order to be able to have this piece of art that signifies eternal love forever as I’d be the first to get married in my family out of our whole generational existence.
