I would like to very strongly stress that I
a) haven’t got married
b) nor have any plans to marry anytime soon.
[To explicate: this was the dress I wore on my birthday last month, and when I posted a photo from the day on Facebook, everyone thought I’d sneakily gone and got married.]
Wearing
Bella Dress c/o RAUES // Athena Leaf Crown c/o Eclectic Eccentricity
This dress was gifted to me by RAUES, and it’s custom made. I hadn’t heard of RAUES before they contacted me, and since I’d been wanting a white maxi all summer, I thought I’d take a chance. And I was so pleasantly surprised when it arrived! The dress is very well made, with yards of swishy white cotton – perfect for sticky, humid summers.
Once I put it on, I realised that it would also be the perfect dress for an informal wedding, so obviously I had to accessorize it with my Eclectic Eccentricity crown and bare feet. (Despite my caveat about weddings earlier, they’ve certainly been on my mind, and I could never miss the opportunity to play dress up!) While both these items have been gifted to me, I think this would be a perfect ensemble for a boho wedding on a budget. Even without BHLDN or Temperley-esque price tags, the Bella Dress and the Athena Leaf Crown are both very well made, and absolutely wedding worthy. I’m pretty sure that if it turns out that I have to elope someday, this is what I’ll end up wearing!
I had to measure myself for the dress, and while I got most of it right, I think I overcompensated a little bit for the arm openings and the length. It’s generally a good idea to get yourself measured by a tailor when it comes to custom tailoring, though. Sandra at RAUES was super helpful through the entire process, and ensured that the FedEx shipment arrived without any hassles. She also gave me some info about their shipping policies and a discount coupon, should you want to get a custom made piece yourself!
