The Dress

This is the exquisite Rue De Seine “Ash” gown from their Classic Collection, brought in Perth, Australia in August 2017.

This is such a beautiful and unique wedding dress, featuring the most gorgeous and exquisite French lace I’ve ever seen. I instantly fell in Love with this remarkable dress from the moment I tried it on. It was an absolute dream dress to wear on my wedding day (February 2018). Form fitting and structured, but super comfortable and photographs beautifully. Every single guest commented on how absolutely stunning the dress was, even going as far as saying “it was the most gorgeous dress they’d ever seen”. I may be biased, but I certainly agree!

To quote the Rue De Seine Website, the Ash gown “is made in a delicate French Lace alongside a heavier guipure lace to create an elegant, yet youthful aesthetic. The Ash gown has a form fitting structured bustier with a dramatic hip yoke. Fullness kicks out from this low hip point into a lace and mesh layered full skirt and train”

As you can see in the Rue De Seine website pictures, the dress also comes with armbands, which are completely optional to wear. My armbands are Brand New and have never been worn, as I wanted a more elegant and romantic look and therefore chose not to wear.


Size Information & Improvements / Alterations ($500+ value): The Dress is a UK 10 (AU 10), with a C cup. The Rue De Seine Ash garment measurements as per my invoice are: Bust 91cm, Under bust 74cm, Waist 73cm, Hip at Widest point 101cm. My personal measurements are: Bust 93cm, Under bust 81cm, Waist 71cm, Hip at Widest 96cm. Please note: my dress was very form fitting around the bust and rib cage (and really does need to be with this gown). So if your bust or under bust measurements are greater than my measurements this cup size/dress size will not be suitable as the cups cannot be let out, and there is very minimal (1cm) side seems in this gown if you need to let out around the under bust/rib cage area.

A couture seamstress, who specializes in working with Rue De Seine gowns, professionally hemmed this dress. The front hem was taken up very slightly to hang perfectly for my height of 173cms, plus 7cm heels. The side and long train lace hems remain as is.

Upon recommendation by my couture seamstress a couple of improvements/additions were made: Addition of a couture waist stay with grosgrain ribbon and hook/eye fasting. This allows/ensures the gown will stay in place and not slide down at the bust or waist (I am extremely glad this was put in, as the shear weight of the gown & lace makes it quite heavy).

Also, there is the addition of a bustle, including two lace covered buttons (covered with the actual dress lace) and silk loops, to enable dancing & walking. Please note: the train of the dress does already have a hand loop, however, using this hand loop doesn’t lift the entire dress of the ground. The addition of the two-button bustle was designed to ensure that both the sides and the train of the dress were completely off the floor so I could easily perform our “first dance” routine and Dance the night away without stepping/tripping on the dress. The button bustle however can be removed if you prefer.

Preservation: The dress has been professionally dry cleaned and re-inspected by my couture seamstress to ensure it is in perfect condition. Overall there are no marks or tears. - Only very tiny fibers & very faint marks along the inside hem of the lining of the dress, which are not visible from the outside layers.

The dress looks brand new & comes with the beautiful Rue De Seine garment bag.

P.S Custom made Veil and headpiece by Tania Maras pair beautifully with this gown. Would consider selling to the right bride.

I hope you Love this dress as much as I did!
