Elegant Simple Sleeveless Fit and Flare Wedding Dress
Essense Designs
This dress is called a Rory Dress from All Who Wander. It is a casual summer Boho crepe wedding dress with a deep v-neckline.
I found this dress in Little Rock, AR on November 26, 2021. I picked up the dress from the bridal store on May 13, 2022. I have never worn the dress because I changed my wedding date from September 2022 to May 2022 and needed something that didn't need alterations. I have receipts to show that dress was purchased in November and picked up in May.
I was supposed to have a wedding in a garden and I thought this dress met the ambiance of the venue. Even though wedding dresses are formal, I loved that this dress was soft, simple, and more casual. Because of its modest design, I felt like the dress really emphasized my body shape with its fit and flare style. Its shade of ivory would've looked beautiful in contrast to the green plants in the garden. I love that the dress is not heavy and would've been wonderful to dance and walk in during the wedding.
When I tried on the dress at the bridal boutique, I tried on a size 14 and it was loose on my chest (see picture with a face mask on - I wear a B cup) but well fitted on my hips. Just to give my hips a little more room, we moved me up to a 16 and would have needed alterations in the chest area.
Condition: There is a small mark on the side of the skirt, some dirt at the hem, an area where the stitching is a tan color, and a button that has a red hue to them. See photos.
