About the Dress

I purchased this beautiful Rue De Seine gown in 2019 planning for a 2020 wedding, and COVID meant that I finally got the chance to wear it this year! It's truly a phenomenal dress, like nothing else I'd ever seen. The off the shoulder neckline and sheer sleeves are stunning, and the lace work around the hips was my favourite feature of the dress- so flattering. The gown has an ivory silk lining and sheer floral outer layer and long train. I made no alterations to the gown other than slightly shortening it.

There are some flaws to this gown (hence the price reduction). It was a rainy old day and despite best efforts by a truly lovely dry cleaner, the bottom of the dress has still got some slight discolouration from mud. However this is really only noticable on the inner silk layer, as the outer layer silk fabric is a muted pink/purple colour scheme. There is also a slight tear in the front of the hem. Both of these flaws would be fixed by hemming the dress, and as I am over 6 feet in heels, if you are on the shorter side this should be completely fine (happy to answer further questions on this, and send photos). As much as I want to keep this beautiful dress I'd rather someone else got to wear it :)

Description from Rue De Seine below:

An explosion of colour and texture, Nahla is the ultimate bohemian fantasy. Fluid crinkle chiffon appears to float off the body with whimsical charm, while a fitted structure underneath maintains a feminine silhouette and feeling of support for the bride. Full and breezy skirt falls from the low hip point with cutaway centre front opening to show leg and break up the floral pattern of the skirt.
