Rixo, Benoite

This is the beautiful 'Benoite' silk-blend dress from Rixo in Ivory. It was my DREAM wedding dress and I would love another bride to love it as much as I have!

I chose this dress for its beautiful vintage, floaty style and its movement. (So many dresses I tried on felt restrictive – like I was waddling around like a penguin.) But in THIS dress you can really move. It comes alive when you’re dancing or twirling!

I’m 5'10.5" and wore the size 8 straight off the rail (no alterations). I'm usually more a size 10 so I think it would fit you if you're an 8-10.

Details
- Fits true to size
- Concealed zip fastening at side

- Fully lined
- Short sleeve
- Classic V-neck: conceals a bra
- Empire waist: signature underbust seam

Fabric & care
- Main: 60% viscose, 40% silk
- Lining: 100% viscose
- Dry clean only

I wore this dress twice (for my ceremony and then a celebration) and had it professionally dry cleaned both times. It’s in excellent condition overall. The only thing to note is two tiny marks near the hem (see photo). They’re so small I didn’t spot them until after the last clean, and I’m confident they’ll come out if mentioned to a dry cleaner.

You’re more than welcome to come and try on. I am donating the proceeds to a hospice charity :)
