The Dress

"Simply slip into River and you will feel effortlessly stylish and confident. With a column shape and fitted silhouette — she encapsulates the perfect balance of minimalism and finesse. With a plunging, paneled bust and daring low-back, she is the ultimate less-is-more gown. Thoughtfully added details like silk covered buttons elevate this gown and draw the eye to the magnificent train. Featuring an abstract pattern with a dimensional contrast of matte and pearlescent thread, when you slip into River you will shimmer in the light."


From the Bride:
This dress is incredibly stunning on, easily the most comfortable dress I tried on and fit for an evening (or afternoon) of epic celebratory dancing. The fabric is soft, thick and holds you in all of the right places. It’s the perfect balance of stretch and support - one of the primary reasons I fell in love with Grace Loves Lace in their Dallas showroom.

I love the color and the lace detail of this dress. I felt so beautiful, elegant but also sexy in the classiest of ways with the low back. The subtle details on this dress made me fall in love with it -I love the buttons down the back, the modest V neck line and the train - oh, my, THE TRAIN. All Grace Loves Lace gowns have a built in finger band, so whether it’s held, bustled to one of the buttons on the back (ALWAYS bustle on the lower buttons - you’ll feel the sturdier ones meant for bustling are different than the ones closer to the low back) or just falling - what a statuesque picture. The train on my dress is 80cm, and the dress comes in its original box only.

I’ve included close up photos to see a true representation of what it looks like after my wedding and being professionally dry cleaned (photographed and boxed 7/29/24).

Here are my measurements when I went into the Grace Loves Lace show room:
Bust: 88 cm - Size Range: S

Under-Bust: 72 cm - Size Range: S

Waist: 68 cm - Size Range: S

Hip: Measurement: 98 cm - Size Range: M


Alterations

The straps have been taken in from their original length for my shorter torso, and the fabric darted right below the booty to give it a bit more umpf.
