RAE
Featuring a mindfully crafted, pleated bodice that perfectly frames the waist and bust, and a luscious full Mikado skirt, Rae is the epitome of elegance and luxury. Her modernised sweetheart neckline combines everything MWL do best: a subtle plunge, a flattering shape and boning to maintain beautiful structure. Choose Rae with a daring crossover high split for an added dash of drama, or close her split for a more classic, seamless look — her back is lined to the zip with gorgeous Mikado buttons as the perfect finishing touch.
From £1,200 (in-stock studio sample, discounted) up to £2,460 (Made to Order, in your size). The discounted price shown is for our unaltered sample only — select your size below to see the Made to Order price.

Measurements & Sizing
New to measuring? Read our step by step How to Measure guide before you start.
To ensure the best possible fit, we highly recommend having your measurements taken in studio at Belle Lueur Bridal or by a professional tailor. If you are unable to get measured professionally, please follow these guidelines: ask a friend or family member to help, use a soft measuring tape, and keep the tape taut but not tight. Take your bust measurement with no bra or a very thin bralette, across the fullest point. Your hip measurement is taken at the widest part of the lower body, including the curve of the bottom, not at the hip bones.
Find Your Size
Refer to the chart below and choose the size that fits you best. The measurements listed are for your body, not the garment. Your usual dress size may vary from your size at MWL Bride. If your measurements fall between two sizes, choose the larger size, as it is always easier to take a garment in than to let it out. Every MWL gown is made to order, and MWL also offers bespoke split sizing, so your bodice and skirt can be made in different sizes to suit your natural proportions. Please ask us about split sizing at your appointment. Even with made to order gowns, please anticipate alterations for that perfect fit.
Belle Lueur Bridal does offer in house alterations but can also offer advice on seamstresses closer to you if required. Please be aware seamstresses do book up 12 months in advance so it is worth getting this booked in. It is always better to book and cancel rather than not have one booked. Belle Lueur Bridal are not responsible for any alterations made after you receive the garment from us and choose to have your alterations done externally. If you have any sizing questions, please call or WhatsApp us on 07494202544 and we'd be happy to recommend your closest size.
