Anais Anette Ezra Gown

"Ezra is a timeless showstopper. Featuring an embroidered lace slit and open back she is modern and classic with a touch of fun.".

Size 6
Waist 24.5
Hips 27.5
Bust 34.5

Height: 5'9 and I wore 1.25 inch wedges.

Background: I purchased this gown in January 2022.
Due to Covid-19, Anais Anette wasn't doing orders/ rush orders in time for my July 2022 wedding. An Anais Anette retailer measured me at a size 6 (24.5 waist, 27.5 hips, and 34.5 bust/ A cup) but wasn't able to get the gown in time.

I was determined to wear this gown. I found a sample size 10 from Covet Bridal that was in pristine condition, paid $2350 for the sample gown (retail was $3500+) and had it tailored by a very experienced seamstress to fit my size 6 measurements. (So pristine that I did not have it cleaned.)

A slightly larger bust would help hold the dress up, but I didn't have any issues with good posture, sticky cups and some fabric adhesive.

French bustle added. I never took the bustle out.

The bottom edges of the gown show slight dirt stains because we had an outdoor wedding (see picture).
This could easily be trimmed off if you are less than 5'9.
This dress was professionally cleaned once within two weeks of wearing it and the discoloring on the bottom is barely noticeable.

The fabric held up really well all day and didn't show signs of wrinkling/ creasing. High quality fabric compared to many crepe dresses that I tried on. However, the fabric was not too heavy/ hot like some high quality crepe gowns (but heavy enough to maintain its shape).
