The Dress

I absolutely adore my wedding dress and would love to pass this on to another bride so you can feel as beautiful as I did on our wedding day!

This Anais Anette Amelie dress is the perfect mix of of modern and romantic. It has a silk/satin slip in a beautiful champagne color layered with an ivory lace gown with scalloped details.

The dress is light weight and absolutely amazing to wear. I felt very natural and comfortable while also feeling like a bride.

I paid $2,200 for this dress brand new from the designer. It is in excellent condition and was professionally dry cleaned and preserved after our wedding.

Alterations

The majority of the alterations to my dress were done in the torso area. I was a street size 8 when I bought the dress, and since it ran small, I decided to order a 12. I lost some weight before the wedding and ended up altering it down to a street size 6 in the waist area.

I wear a 34 A cup and had cups sewn into the bust of the dress. I think the dress would also fit someone with an B or C cup comfortably. The woman who did my alterations also said the cups could be easily removed if needed.

Other alterations included hemming the dress to match my heigh of 5'8. I wore flats with this dress, so take that into account depending on your height and whether you plan to wear heels.

The dress came with a ribbon that originally tied around my waist. I opted to have it cut and sewn into the zipper at the back of the dress instead of having a bow tied. I loved this and it made the dress feel easier to wear and a bit more mature and sophisticated.
