The Dress

I purchased Eva Lendel's Rouge dress from Union Bridal's designer trunk show in Vancouver. Purchased in 2024 before the new collection was available in any boutiques.

The sizing is European 34 (fits as US size 0). My talented seamstress added a faux diamond bustle on the interior of the dress train. It is not visible when wearing the dress, but it is a really pretty detail when holding the bustle. I hemmed the front of the dress for 5'-6" with heels and I kept the full length for the train and neck piece, this cascaded along the ground as I walked and looked very elegant. As a natural result, there is slight wear on the interior of the dress train. This is not visible at all when wearing the dress but I want to be fully transparent. I have had the dress professionally cleaned and there are no other signs of wear.

The dress is a vision of modern elegance and timeless allure. Crafted from luxurious satin, this dress is designed to accentuate your every curve and create a sleek silhouette. The V-neckline with a halter-style closure is very flattering. The backless design was initially my favourite detail but after trying the dress on I knew the true showstopper is the decorative neck piece long train that cascades to the floor. This piece is removable and the dress can be worn without it for a second look.

I felt incredibly confident and beautiful in this gorgeous dress and truly want someone else to feel the same on their wedding day.
