The Dress

'Kiss' by Rime Arodaky - purchased the custom dress directly from Rime Arodaky Atelier. I also had custom gloves made with the dress - which were $100 USD. I am happy to include these with the purchase if you like the look!

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.

The dress, made of crepe cady, with games of transparency in Italian embroidered tulle, comes in an empire shape that lengthens the sillhouette. It has an open back and godet with embroidered tulle.

My wedding was a black tie event - this is the type of dress that could be dressed up for a summer garden wedding or a black tie fall wedding (what I did!).

I tried on so many dresses that I didn't like the material or the fit - I tried this dress on and fell in love instantly. It's such an elegant shape and flattering fit - I would love for someone else to feel as elegant and beautiful as I did on my wedding day!

It was an easy dress to wear - super comfortable and constricting, but with a luxurious designer feel. The dress flows over the hips so there is room and flexibility there.

I changed into a second look for the reception, so this dress was only worn for a few hours.

I dry cleaned the dress and there are a few faint marks along the bottom edge of the dress where they wouldn't be noticed by anyone, but I am happy to share more photos and videos if you're interested in buying the dress.

I'm 5'3.5" and wore 5" high block heels so if you were slightly shorter (or wore lower heels) then you would have the bottom of the dress taken up anyway as part of normal alterations.

Alterations

The dress didn't need much alteration, just a tiny tweak to hem to my height with heels.

I paid to add a concealed bustle button to bustle the train up at the back - which was really handy and looked gorgeous!
