The Dress
This is the Rime Arodaky Palmer dress purchased from the Dress Theory in San Diego in 2022. I got married in September at the Santa Barbara Courthouse and was absolutely obsessed with this dress ever since I saw it in photos years before. I felt like a glamorous, beautiful princess in this gown and loved every second of wearing it. My favorite thing about it is the incredible french lace - I loved how it was longer sleeved and higher neck but still had that light sheer quality to it so it felt extremely romantic and flattering. I'm very self conscious about my arms and my stomach so this was a perfect dress for covering up some areas like with sleeves without them being too intense. It also had a gorgeous open back to offset the sleeves and higher neck. I felt so confident in this dress and I loved all of the photos of myself in it, which felt like a big win! I got SO many compliments on my dress - it was a dream!
I had a very small, intimate wedding with 20 people at the local courthouse. I didn't wear it on a dance floor at all - just for the photos and ceremony and a short indoor reception! So it should still feel brand new! But just in case, I got it dry cleaned and steamed and ready to roll. I will also send the original bag that it came in. I can't wait to see who else rocks this beautiful dress :)
I worked with a local tailor in Santa Barbara and we did a few small, reversible adjustments, like taking out the lining slightly and adding a few stitches in the back and a small finger loop to hold it while walking. She knew I wanted to sell it after so she was careful not to do anything that wasn't easy to undo! The only major change that can't be easily undone is that I wanted the beautiful lace train to shine on its own. Originally the dress white crepe also had a small train, so we hemmed that to be just above my shoe line (with heels on). If you are shorter it would go to the floor.
I'm 5 9 and a size 6-8 usually. I wear a 34C bra and size 28-30 jeans. The dress was ordered in a size 42 (French sizing)
I bought this dress from the Dress Theory in San Diego and they gave my measurements to me in case that is helpful: Bust: 95.5, Under Bust: 78, Waist: 74, High hip:87, Low Hip: 103

Alterations
The white crepe part of the dress was hemmed to be floor length for easier walking. There were other small adjustments that are easily undone, like taking out the lining slightly to have a little more room and adding a finger loop to the lace train for easier handling.
