Rembo Styling Wedding Dress

The 'Insolite' gown was from the 2020 Rembo Styling collection. I bought it in 2022 for my wedding the summer of that year. It is made of ivory guipure lace in a beautiful floral pattern, overlaid on matt satin. Fitted on the bodice, it flows out at the hips with a slit down the front to facilitate movement. It has a V-neckline and deep V-back with little capped sleeves. The dress was designed in Belgium and made in Portugal, by a family business with a sustainable ethos.

I bought the dess in a size 40, and had it altered to fit me. The seamstress also added in breast cups (which could be easily removed), and a bustle to facilitate tying up the train for ease of dancing.

I am generally a UK size 10/EU size 38, petite at the bust and waist and wider across the hips and bum. I wore medium-height heels for the wedding ceremony and reception (7cm), and flats on the dance floor - thanks to the front slit, the dress worked well with both. The dress has been dry cleaned (in any event I didn't wear fake tan or much make up) and stored since my wedding. It is in perfect condition, with no stains, tears or other faults.
