Hi everyone! I fell in love with this dress but I have no info on it except that it comes in white and blush, plus sizes, and is called "Charlotte" (I think but not positive). Has anyone seen it somewhere or can tell me the designer?
Maybe have a friend email/reach out and inquire about the designers they carry? Can have your friend say they want to be able to look at the designers beforehand, to see what catches her eye, before she makes an appointment.
If they give names of the designers they carry, you can start searching that way...
Also, another thing to keep in mind, if it's the buttons/back you really like (and is the main difference between the one you tried on vs the other designers being shared), that some designers allow for things like that to be changed (zipper to buttons, buttons to a corset, etc.) - can always reach out to a salon that carries Essence of Australia and ask if it's something the designer does...

Sorry I’m trying to understand! The bridal place I went to didn’t have my size either they had to order it in , I think that’s common! Would you be able to get them to order it in your size? Or even if your heart is set on that dress and you don’t want to order a size up, buy that one take it to a seamstress and get them to add more fabric to fit you better!

She said she will look into it! If you tried it on at that bridal shop are you able to go back there to purchase it , or do they not have it in stock anymore?

They posted on in April 2021 with identical lace but a slightly different style and they posted it as “exclusive edition” so perhaps they’ve commissioned someone to make dresses for them.

My friend took a pic of the tag but she says it only has size and the name "Charlotte" on it 🤷🏼♀️ seems they are trying hard to conceal the origin of the dress
I reverse image searches using images on their website and they seem to carry a lot of Sophia Tolli and the lines under casablanca & Mon Cheri. They all seem to have similar dresses, but not quite the same. Can you go try it on again? It would have a tag in it with the brand, or at least it should

Oh hey Ottawa gal! I did call and ask them. They would only tell me it's a private line. Wouldn't give me any style number, designer or anything else. That's why I wanted to ask on here to see if anyone could help because they wouldn't lol

I would just call and ask them. All bridal salons (I'm from Ottawa too but didn't go there) offer to write down the ones you liked so you know for next time. Worst case they say no, which sucks but no harm done other than poor customer service lol.

I'll give Madi Lane a look then! I was convinced it was essence too because that's always been my fav and looks exactly like their dresses. Couldn't find it though so I'll keep digging! Ty!

That style is extremely close! Not the same one though sadly. I really appreciate your help though! Could be a good back up!

Yeah I agree with Carmel I think its Essence of Australia! (That’s the brand of my wedding dress)
When I googled Essence of Australia Charlotte dress a similar one popped up but it doesn’t look the exact same .. to me anyway!
I tried on a dress similar to your photos it was a madi lane though, they have alot of that style of dress, if you can’t find anything on essence of Australia
