*PRISTINE* Rue de Seine Sedona dress, UK 12 /US 8
Never altered, only possibly worn for a photoshoot (see professional pics in listing). The video is from Rue de Seine's Facebook page.
Comes with brand new, never used Rue de Seine wedding dress bag.

I found a sample of this beautiful dress (NOT THIS LISTING) at a bridal boutique, but it needed a deep clean. Makeup on the inside, the train just flat out dirty, and offered for $3300. When I asked about the cost of cleaning, they offered a discounted price of $1875.

Came here to Stillwhite and found the exact same dress, also a sample, being sold DIRECTLY FROM THE DESIGNER out of NZ, for a much better price. Contacted Rue de Seine separately via their website just to confirm (call me crazy but...the web...) and they wrote back straight away confirming that yes it was them on this site and yes it was a sample. Note I don't know when the dress was made, just put 2022 as a guess because it looks brand new.

The dress arrived in no time packaged beautifully with a brand new wedding gown bag and a card insert with my name in calligraphy.

So why didn't I decide to wear it for my wedding? I really wish I could. Tried it on and immediately felt like a princess. The dress has a beautiful weight to it with the full skirt and train, yet is delicate and feminine with the straps. The trouble is I am a 34DDD. I could wear it, but at 56, with the plunging neckline, would look a little - errm - buxom.

I have packaged the dress back up in the original box/tissue with the shipping-to-me label that shows it is from New Zealand, and an extra layer of clear plastic around to keep it clean and safe. If you would like to estimate shipping, the weight is 6.4#, and the box (not in a standard box so end dimensions might be different) is 25.2in x 12.2in x 4.7in.

My hope is that the bride who ends up marrying in this exquisite dress will share a picture from her special day. Sending love :-)
