In a March 19 Instagram post, the 43-year-old reality star recalled meeting with her designers, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana of Dolce & Gabbana, one year ago to start designing the dress that she would wear during her Italian wedding to Travis Barker.
Kardashian Barker shared behind-the-scenes photos of her fitting, design meetings and sketches of the unique lace and satin corset mini dress. She also shared how a music video was the inspiration for the look.
“The first inspiration for my dress was when Travis and I were watching Guns N’ Roses November Rain video one night before we were even engaged, and we said to each other ‘this has to be our wedding,’” the Poosh founder wrote.
“She was wearing a short dress and I thought to myself ‘I need a short dress!’” she continued. “I had more visions inspired by some 1990s campaigns of Monica Bellucci shot by Helmut Newton for Blumarine.”
Kardashian Barker wrote that when they knew they were going to have their ceremony in Portofino, Italy, “it also influenced the vibes and feeling of the dress.”
“I also just wanted to feel like we ran off to Italy and got married and wanted the dress and wedding to feel that way!” she detailed, before sharing how one of the drummer’s tattoo designs was put on the veil. “When @dolcegabbana suggested putting Travis’s head tattoo of the Virgin Mary on the handmade lace veil with the words from his tattoo: family, loyalty, respect underneath, I got chills and knew how special that felt. (And my little mini veil I wore to dinner ☺️)”
The mother of three concluded by noting that they planned every detail and the designers made her “dream come true all so so quickly and I’m so grateful to everyone who put their all into making it all happen!”

While the brand was quick to shut down reports that it had sponsored the festivities — “the designers were happy to host this very special occasion,” a rep for Dolce & Gabbana tells Page Six Style — the wedding has already earned the company a whopping $25.4 million in media impact value, according to brand performance ...
At the time, she exchanged vows in a lingerie-esque minidress by Dolce & Gabbana that featured a sexy corset bodice, a plunging neckline and sheer, lace material that let her bottom half peek through. The location of the couple's ceremony also inspired Kourtney's design.
The mum of three picked a Dolce & Gabbana gown which was worlds away from the $500k wedding dress sister Kim Kardashian wore to marry now ex-husband Kanye West. Kourtney's D&G dress was a corset-style mini costing $1,825 (£1,500).
It's no surprise that Kim Kardashian would land on our list for the most expensive wedding dress of all time. When Kim and Kayne tied the knot in 2014, she walked down the aisle in a $500,000 custom couture Givenchy gown, featuring long sleeves and a trumpet silhouette.
Dolce & Gabbana reportedly made millions off Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's big day. Wedding pros share their thoughts. Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's Italian wedding heavily featured Dolce & Gabbana. Wedding pros told Insider it was a "sponsored wedding," and a good opportunity for the brand.
Why are Kim and Kourtney in a feud? Kim and Kourtney have been in a long-term feud since Kim worked with Dolce & Gabbana a matter of months after Kourtney collaborated with the brand for her entire wedding in 2022. D&G supplied the Kardashian family with outfits for the event, making use of looks from the archives.
Along with Caitlyn, Kourtney's long-term ex-boyfriend Scott Disick was not invited to the wedding. While his three kids—Mason, 12, Penelope, 9, and Reign,7, were off in Italy celebrating their mother's new marriage, he went on a solo trip to New York City. The Kardashians is available to stream on Hulu.
“It was fine,” Khloé, 38, said with a nervous laugh of Kourtney's dress, which the lie detector operator deemed “inconclusive.” “I mean it was beautiful for sure,” she clarified. “I just would have loved to have seen you in that at the after party and then something prior.”
"She wanted this huge moment to be about her and Travis and knew the dynamic wouldn't be right having Scott there." The source said that Scott wanted the focus to be on his and Kourtney's kids—Mason Disick, 12, Penelope Disick, 9, and Reign Disick, 7, who were all in attendance at the Italian celebration.
The Virgin Mary image was inspired by an identical tattoo on Barker's skull, which includes the words "family," "loyalty" and "respect." Naturally, the veil featured the same words.
Taking pictures, getting in and out of vehicles, walking down the aisle, and even making sudden turns can be made easier by a hemline that falls above the knee.
On some dresses, you can add a little lace to the bottom to create a decorative hem. For brides who don't sew or have time to have someone else sew on a hem, you could add a tulle overskirt to the dress. While this will change the look of your gown, you can make your dress longer pretty quickly.
