I was in a tricky situation when choosing my wedding dress – I was 3 months pregnant and needed to find something that I loved and could fit into after the baby, with the wedding booked to be 7 months after baby was born.
Luckily, I fell in love with this gypsy inspired, boho wedding dress. It has a beautiful cream lace top layer, and a gorgeous slight cream/beige under tone with Silk.
It is really fitted in the bodice area, with a great bustier shape that is tight until the hips and then it gently floats out into a small train. I also had the matching, removable sleeves added, which add to the styling on the wedding day.
Our wedding was in Brazil and I wanted to make sure I could find something light yet delicate and timeless and this dress was loved by all and sat perfectly all day long.
Being pregnant, I wasn’t sure what my body would be like post baby, so I ordered a size up from my original size (10 instead of an 8) and 2 sizes up in the bust area (DD instead of C). This worked out perfectly with some adjustments to make it fitted in the end, dress is now most likely a size 8 however generous around the bust area.
Rue De Seine list the details as below:
Structured bustier gown with hip yoke, form fitting silhouette & floral appliqué detail from bust cups. Angular design lines throughout bodice with draped lace skirt and full train. Patchwork aesthetic & floral off the shoulder sleeves.

As mentioned, I had the dress altered to deal with my post baby body which ended up being size 8 figure with larger breasts. Dress measurements now are: Bust: 95cm Waist: 68cm Hip: 88cm Height: 171cm, and I also flat beaded sandals to match our beach wedding vibe.
The dress is dry cleaned and in pristine conditions – which is amazing considering all the dancing ????
Located in Sydney, I can also provide more pictures upon request.
