The Marlowe Romper is the rebellious little sister to our signature mini. Same heirloom energy, reimagined as a bridal romper for the bride who plans to actually move in her wedding outfit.
We originally created the Marlowe Romper after hearing the same thing from brides over and over again: “Our wedding has a mechanical bull and I need something I can actually ride it in.” So we made exactly that. A bridal piece built for dancing, spinning, celebrating, and yes… riding the mechanical bull.
Crafted from revived vintage cotton lace, the Marlowe Romper features a fully boned corset bodice with our signature sculpting V-waist silhouette that cinches, lifts, and shapes while still feeling effortless to wear. The structured bodice contrasts with tailored lace shorts finished in scalloped lace, creating a silhouette that feels equal parts cowgirl couture and modern heirloom bridal.
Delicate ruffle trim softens the neckline while soft fringe accents add movement with every step. It’s daring, romantic, and wildly fun. Designed for brides who want something unforgettable without sacrificing comfort.
Perfect for western weddings, desert elopements, Nashville bachelorette weekends, courthouse ceremonies, rehearsal dinners, after-party looks, or honeymoon nights that turn into sunrise.
Each Marlowe Romper is handcrafted to order in our Oceanside, California studio using revived vintage textiles. Because every lace is sourced individually, no two pieces are exactly alike, making each romper a true one-of-a-kind heirloom.
Not just a bridal look.
A bridal moment.

PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING:
Fabric:
The Marlow is crafted from true vintage fabric, which means that each piece carries its own subtle character. Your Marlowe will be cut from heirloom crochet lace in shades varying from cream to dark ivory with coordinating ruffle and fringe. You may notice minor inconsistencies or unique markings in the weave—this is part of the charm and story of working with reclaimed textiles. The print will also vary slightly from dress to dress, making each one a little different—and entirely yours. If you prefer a more consistent and predictable version of this look check out our Marlowe Mini (White Edition)
How to Choose Your Size:
For the Marlowe, we recommend sizing based on your hips. The corset-style top has 1–2 inches of adjustability thanks to the lace-up back, which gives you some flexibility through the bust and waist.
Rush Orders:
Enter your wedding date at checkout — if your timeline is under 10 weeks, the correct rush tier will be automatically added to keep everything on track.

Each Marlowe is made to order in standard sizing. Because every body is unique, minor tailoring may be recommended to achieve your ideal fit. If you’d like this gown made-to-measure for an additional fee, please inquire for custom pricing and availability.
