About the Dress

The Rue de Seine Sierra Gown with Ever Sleeves is part of the 2022 Mountain Song collection, celebrated for its ethereal, Bohemian designs. The Sierra gown features light-as-air crinkle chiffon, a gathered bust with structured bodice, and a flowing A-line silhouette. The detachable Ever Sleeves add versatility and a romantic touch to the ensemble. Purchased new by me for $3,650 and worn once for my wedding. Ever sleeves purchased new, by me as well, for $395. Total I paid for both items: $4,045.

Crafted for the bold romantic, the Sierra Gown is an ode to the untamed spirit. She is fearless and free—embodying wild elegance through every embroidered motif and sweeping silhouette. Sierra's silhouette flatters and flows: a structured bodice with delicate contouring gives way to a full skirt that moves like poetry, layered with custom-designed lace inspired by desert blooms and sun-drenched landscapes. A deep V neckline and open back lend a modern sensuality, grounded by Rue’s signature artisanal detail.

Paired with the ethereal Ever Sleeves, the look becomes even more enchanting. These detachable statement sleeves—crafted in the same intricate lace—float with you, offering a dreamy softness and versatile styling from ceremony to celebration. Voluminous and airy, Ever adds a whisper of drama while framing the arms in elegance.

Sierra with Ever is a love letter to the bride who dances barefoot beneath the stars, whose heart is drawn to the horizon, and whose gown should tell a story as unforgettable as her own.

Sierra by Bohemian designer Rue De Seine is easy romance. Her structured bodice has the softest sweetheart neckline with casual spaghetti straps. The movement in this chiffon skirt is remarkable! As the bride moves, you will find a few unexpected lace panels. This gown is perfect for a beach or desert setting.

The Rue de Seine Ever Sleeves were part of the brand's accessory offerings, sold separately, and designed to complement the Sierra Gown. Purchased new for $395 USD, they come included with the gown. My seamstress just put a tiny, removable stitch around the top of the sleeve to help keep them up during the ceremony, easily removable for the reception, and a seamstress could easily remake this.

In general, a UK size 12 is roughly equivalent to a US size 8. However, bridal sizing often differs from everyday clothing sizes and can vary between designers. Therefore, it's crucial to refer to the specific designer's size chart and consider your actual measurements when selecting a gown.

For the most accurate fit, it's recommended to take your measurements and consult with a bridal stylist or seamstress who can guide you based on Rue de Seine's sizing.

I purchased this at A&Be Bridal in Dallas, Texas, brand new in March 2023. A few very slight alterations were made, but nothing major. We got married on a ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and the only blemishes noted are all around the base of the multiple layers of lace and chiffon that make up the skirt. There are some dirt smudges and a few tiny grass stains/streaks, but mostly underneath the outer layer. They are mainly noticeable when looking closely, and the dress has not yet been dry-cleaned, as I wanted to let the next bride who wears it get it cleaned how she prefers.
Rue de Seine utilizes UK standard sizing for their bridal gowns. According to their size chart, a UK size 12 corresponds to the following measurements:

Alterations

See above. I had the spaghetti straps taken up ever so slightly, and about an inch and a half taken off the length. I also had the seamstress add a button on the back, center, lower part of the skirt portion and you can tie the train up during the reception, which I found to be a must due to it's length!
