The Dress

Words will not do justice to what an amazing dress this is. I absolutely adored wearing this beautiful, elegant, fun wedding dress on my wedding day in March 2019. It's from Rime Arodaky's 2018 collection, The Runaways and is called 'Otis'. So many of my guests told me that it was the best wedding dress they had ever seen, and I have been flooded with compliments on it. I really want the dress to continue its life and be worn by someone else and make them as happy as it did me!

This dress was exactly what I was looking for in terms of being quite a classic, elegant shape and lovely crepe material in ivory, yet had elements of 'drama' and fun, with a cool slit up the leg, low back, and the gorgeous ruffles all down one side. Rime describes it as an "asymmetrical body-hugging dress with boat neckline, a slit on the side. Numerous ruffles on the right side in white organza, floral lace and crepe couture. Low back."

I'm 5ft 7, size 8 and relatively straight up and down and I wanted to keep the dress relatively loose fitting. I felt sexy in this dress whilst still feeling like myself (usually in jeans!) and I could definitely move around in it, which was important to me.

I had the dress fitted to my size and you could do the same - alterations are a wonderful thing! I purchased the dress from The Mews Bridal in Notting Hill and had my fittings at their recommended tailor, Sewn Right.

My measurements are: Bust 89cm; waist 69cm; hips 95cm. I am a 32C bra size and had seamless cups sewn into the dress (you could have these removed). I am 5ft 7" and wore high stiletto shoes with a 8.5cm heel. I also chose to have a bustle sewn in underneath the skirt, which you can wear around your wrist to keep the dress off the floor.

The dress has been dry cleaned and looks pretty much as good as new (there are a couple of marks on the train but they are not obvious unless you are looking for them).

Alterations

I had the dress fitted to my measurements above. The shoulders were also lifted, the bodice was taken in at the side seams. I left the slit where it was, but you could take it higher or lower.
