The Dress

Make me an offer ladies, needing to clear my spare room for our new addition due soon :)

Rue De Seine Beau Gown from their Classics Collection. Designed and made in Auckland NZ to order with a lead time of 4-6 months, retails for approx. $4.5k including matching sleeves.

Description from the Rue website:

The Beau gown is inspired by its own heavy cotton lace. To emphasise the detail and design, Beau gown has a deep nude lining to showcase the lace's intricacies. The Beau gown has a structured bustier base, fitting through to the low hip, with a full hem and train.
Shell - Cotton Guipure lace with cotton trim, lining - Silk bodice lining, Silk/Spandex skirt lining

Details:
• Dress was originally a size AU 12 C-cup
• I had it very slightly taken out at the hips and shortened. I am 5ft 2in and wore 4in heels, the dress still sat on the ground slightly at the front with these alterations. There is excess fabric that will come with the dress so could potentially be lengthened again but would be worth checking with a seamstress first.
• I wore the dress for my wedding in March 2019.
• I purchased the dress on Still White from a girl who wore it for two hours for her ceremony before changing into another dress
• Both alterations before my wedding and after have been done by Vanilla Bridal in Tauranga
• I had a bustle (button) added to the train for my reception/evening
• I have cleaned the dress with Sard (which is what I was told a lot of the dress cleaning companies do anyway!) and it has come up great.

You will receive the dress, optional sleeves, excess fabric left from the alterations & dress garment bag.

I am located in Tauranga (The Lakes) and am more than happy for you to come and try the dress on. For reference I am in-between a size 10 & 12 (more of a 12 in the hips), D-Cup & 5ft 2in.

Please feel free to get in contact with any questions or to arrange a try-on!
