Rita Vinieris Avery Dress
The RIVINI by Rita Vinieris "Avery" dress is a delicately draped lace ballgown with dimensional intricate floral detail. The delicate ribbed bodice is features a sheer nude beige mesh adorned with floral lace applique. Rivini iconic gowns make an everlasting statement; the collection marries expert craftsmanship, lavish fabrics, and couture details.
I wore this beautiful dress (my dream wedding dress!) for my wedding in Hawaii this past January 2022. When I first saw the dress, I loved the intricate lace floral applique, the deep V style, and the classic flowing skirt with long train. The gown photographed beautifully and our wedding photos are set to be featured in the wedding blog / instagram Style Me Pretty. Throughout my big day, I received so many compliments and glowing comments on the dress. Wearing this dress made my wedding all the more special and I'm excited at the prospect of another bride getting to share in the story of this gorgeous dress.
The dress is in pristine condition as I wore it for the ceremony and the first quarter of my reception before changing into a reception gown. There no flaws or signs of wear that I have identified. Immediately after my wedding, I got the dress professionally dry cleaned. The dress was purchased in 2021 from Kleinfeld Bridal in NYC.
If interested, I have the accompanying cathedral floral lace veil for sale. This was purchased at the same time from Kleinfeld Bridal.

Alterations - please see note below. I removed two tulle trains attached to the shoulders for a cleaner silhouette. I also took the bodice in slightly at the waist and my seamstress took in a half inch at the top of the shoulder straps. My seamstress also added in a bustle feature so that you can pin up the long train.

Alterations
The original dress had tulle trains on each shoulder. Since I had a Cathedral Veil, I decided to remove the shoulder tulle trains and am so glad I did. It created a cleaner silhouette and made my veil stand out. It was also easier to move in.
I also altered the dress to my height (5'4 with one inch heels) but all of the original lace detailing was retained by my seamstress so that the pattern remains on the hem on the skirt. The bodice was taken in a half inch and cups were added into the bodice.
