Roma Dress in Ivory Satin- Halterneck Maxi Bridesmaid & Bridal Dress
Ivory is the colour for every moment that happens around the big day. The Roma in Ivory is the effortlessly cool bridal look that works just as hard at the hen party as it does at the rehearsal dinner, the bridal shower, or as a chic second wedding look. Polished and playful in equal measure. Bridal, but make it fashion.
Cut on the bias in silky satin, the Roma drapes fluidly from a fitted halterneck bodice into a loosely flowing full-length skirt that skims the body in all the right places. The long crossover neck ties add quiet drama at the back and can be styled as a bow or a clean knot. The high back with centre back zip keeps everything looking intentional and stylish.
Available in sizes 8–22, full length approximately 114cm from waist to hem.
The Roma in Ivory works harder than your average occasion dress because:
- Built for every bridal moment. Hen party, rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, civil ceremony, second look, the Roma in Ivory is designed to show up for all of it.
- The halterneck elongates and flatters. An elegant neckline that draws the eye upward and works beautifully across a wide range of body types.
- Those neck ties are not an afterthought. Long crossover ties that can be styled as a bow or a clean knot. Two completely different looks, one dress.
- Bias-cut satin that moves with you. Lightweight and fluid, it drapes elegantly without clinging. Relaxed, understated cool, exactly as intended.
- Designed in London by a female-founded brand. Rewritten has been dressing brides and their people since 2015. This is the brand that gets it.
- A dress you'll genuinely wear beyond the wedding. It's ivory satin with a halterneck. The occasions write themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Roma fits true to size. If you have a smaller bust, consider sizing down for a better fit through the bodice. The bias-cut skirt drapes loosely, so the fit is more relaxed from the hip down.
The Roma has a centre back zip and halterneck design, making it well suited to a strapless bra. Stick-on bras and nipple covers also work well. The halterneck provides its own support across the front, so many customers find they don't need additional support at all.
The Roma features long crossover neck ties that can be styled in a bow or a simple knot at the nape of the neck. A bow gives a softer, more romantic feel; a knot is cleaner and more minimal. Two completely different looks, one dress.
The Roma is a full-length maxi dress, approximately 114cm from waist to hem at its longest point. It can be shortened by a seamstress if needed — alteration guidance is available here.
Absolutely. The Roma in Ivory is designed with bridal moments in mind — it works beautifully as a second look or reception dress, a civil ceremony outfit, a rehearsal dinner dress, or a hen party dress. It has the elegance of a bridal gown with the ease of an everyday style.
Ivory is a soft, cool off-white — cleaner and closer to white than champagne. Champagne has a warmer, golden-beige tone. Our Roma Ivory is a soft, sophisticated off-white that sits beautifully alongside white wedding dresses without competing with the bride. If you're unsure, a swatch is the best way to compare — swatches for other colourways are available in our fabric swatch collection.
The Roma in Ivory is made from a silky satin — 97% polyester, 3% elastane. Lightweight and fluid, it drapes beautifully and photographs elegantly in both natural and soft artificial light.

The Roma in Ivory is perfect for hen parties, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, civil ceremonies, second wedding looks, and reception dresses. It also works beautifully as a wedding guest dress for anyone who has been given permission to wear white or ivory.
Absolutely. The Roma mixes beautifully with other Rewritten styles — the halterneck silhouette pairs particularly well with strappy styles for a mixed bridal party look. It also works alongside Rewritten's champagne and caramel colourways for a warm, tonal palette.
Wash at 30 degrees with similar colours, or dry clean. Use a hand steamer to remove creases — do not iron directly on the satin. Please note that slight colour variations can occur between dresses due to the dyeing process, so ordering all dresses for your bridal party at the same time from the same batch is recommended.
Want to see the fabric in person? We don't currently have a swatch available for ivory but you can order a Champagne Satin swatch to get a sense of the fabric quality and weight, the satin is the same. Sign up to our mailing list to be the first to know when an ivory swatch is available.
