The Dress

Moving up to Hawke’s bay end of August. Dress currently in Christchurch. Come and try on before I leave.

Gorgeous dress size 12 but would fit a size 10-12, perfect for any wedding. It is great for all seasons, outside on the beach or inside in a chapel. I received many compliments from people saying they've never seen a dress like this before. From New Zealand designer, Rue De Seine, the Florence gown is a total standout contemporary wedding dress combining glamour, romance and boho elements. It offers the bride the best of both worlds with its stunning full length and train along with a front seam split - allowing you to show off some leg but also making it so comfortable to move and dance in! The detail has to be seen - the beautiful beading and embroidery throughout sets it apart from the rest. Would highly recommend viewing in person. The gems on this dress lay so beautifully and the cut is very flattering. There is a train with the flower inlay and key hole back - gorgeous! It was a comfortable dress to wear for my Wedding day and so now I am hoping I can hand it onto someone who will love wearing it as much as I did! This dress cannot be purchased in stores anymore so don't let the opportunity go!

Sad to be selling but excited for someone else to enjoy wearing this beautiful dress as much as I did. I would rather it be re-used than have it stay in my wardrobe forever. Try on in Bryndwr, Christchurch. I am more than happy to mail to you at the customers costs for try ons. I am also happy to post overseas but customs duties will be your responsibility. Thanks! xx

I had a few very small alterations done to the dress - Taken in ever so slightly around the bust and arm. I also have padded B cups that you can put in if you don't want to wear a bra. I didn't end up using them as I choose to wear a sick on bra instead. The lace at the front hem was roughly taken up 6cm and and I am 172cm tall and wore medium hight heals.

Flaws - There are marks on the right back and centre back near the hem and 1/2 way up on the silk lining only (please ask and I’ll email photos). I am happy to say you can hardly see (if any) of the marks on the lining with the lace overlay. This is because the detail in the lace and the fact that the slip is fitted and the lace goes out into a train at the back and sits away from the lining. This dress has been professionally dry cleaned, however these marks are still there. I would see a couple of options working - Taking it to a reputable place to get dry cleaned again as I was not 100% happy with my dry cleaning services, trying vinegar, to remove the mark replacing the area with a panel or removing part or all of the slip or keeping as is.

There is one white bead inner missing near the bottom of the dress, which is very hard to see. (happy to send photo). I do have some replacements, which I have misplaced at the moment but currently looking for.

The price has been greatly reduced to reflect these flaws and it truly is beautiful dress.
If you are in the area you are more than welcome to come in and try her on and I recommend seeing this dress in person to appreciate the beautiful lace and bead work, but also to see the marks on the lining. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like extra photos of the dress.
