About the Dress

Selling my cherished Archie dress by Made with Love - a timeless embodiment of elegance and comfort.
Purchased through Coastal Knot Bridal Boutique in Raleigh, NC, the dress was bought on rush order/coming directly from the designer- along with additional purchased 2 meters of matching gown buttons to extend down the full length of the train. (Note – this was an additional $1,000 to get the matching buttons carried down the full train of the gown but looks absolutely stunning in my opinion and really makes this truly a steal of a price). Will come with original Made with Love garment bag. Pet free and smoke free, clean home.

Archie is my dream wedding gown! I had pinned this gown on my vision board before I was even engaged and had planned/intended to keep the dress forever as an heirloom piece as it’s such a classic and timeless look. Furthermore, the dress is extremely comfortable. The crepe material of the gown lays perfectly, yet hides the "lumps” and forgives. I did not need any spanx or other shapeware etc. for this dress which saved a lot of time and money as most wedding dresses need it to lay correctly.
No expense was spared on professional cleaning and alterations- only touched by the preferred vendors as recommended by the authorized bridal shop the gown was purchased through. It’s been treated only with the utmost care and handled carefully in all aspects of my wedding- worn for only a few hours and immediately professionally dry cleaned.

Measurements- Please note Measurements for this designer are in CM’s which is why I’ve also posted the same measurements taken in inches (height is 5ft 7in) in cm’s- B: 85 W: 63 H: 89
Alterations – alterations were professionally done by the recommended preferred seamstress so could be easily reversed if desired.
• Very minimal alterations were made to the actual dress sizing to tailor to fit my measurements, see measurements above for reference (my seamstress said it was almost the least amount of alterations to size that she’s seen before)
• Buttons added to the entire back of the dress to go down the full length train of the gown
• I added a French bustle (under-bustle) with ribbons gathering the fabric underneath the gown and tucks with number labeled ribbons at numerous pick-up points for extra flair, will provide seamstress instructions for the bustle to buyer for referencing (the bustle was extremely gorgeous in my opinion the seamstress nailed it)

"Archie is a sexy and sophisticated combination of both modern and classic. Seamlessly, soft, double french crepe, her figure hugging design is created to completely celebrate every curve and turn of the body while draping dramatically with her signature cowl back. She is for the fearless bride who loves to call all of the attention and would never dream of being lost in a dress." Comes in traditional ivory (off-white).
