About the Dress

This dress was an absolute dream to wear—effortlessly elegant with a modern, sophisticated touch. Designed for the bride who wants to feel both classy and youthful, it strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and couture. The silhouette is flattering, the embroidered train and butterfly sleeves add the perfect complexity and symmetry to the dress, and it is overall incredibly comfortable—I danced all night without needing a second dress!

I would love for someone else to enjoy this stunning and unique gown without the couture price tag. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

From the Rime Arodaky website: With its top covered with floral lace and its butterfly sleeves delicately hiding the shoulders, Kiss combines delicacy and elegance. It is a timeless piece of the Maison and suits all body types. High waist dress in empire shape that lengthens the silhouette. Open back, and godet with embroidered tulle. Dress made of crepe cady with games of transparency in Italian embroidered tulle.

Alterations

I lost some weight between ordering the dress and when it arrived, so I had it altered down by a size or two. The measurements listed here reflect my actual size on my wedding day, so the dress should fit well on someone with similar proportions, with room for minor alterations if needed. I'm 5'3", and the hemline just skimmed the floor with 3" heels.

I also added a wrist loop (still intact) and a simple bustle. The delicate loop my seamstress added for the bustle unfortunately broke, but the train has been repaired, and the bustle button remains intact—so the loop could easily be re-added if you’d like to use the bustle. Since the train isn’t overly long, I found the wrist loop to be more than enough for moving around and dancing!

The dress has been fully dry cleaned. There are some very faint remnants of dirt stains along the hemline but nothing that is noticeable unless looking very closely.
