The Dress

With a modern U-neckline in front and back and nude mesh cutouts for an alluring peek of skin on each side, Sydney has a fully boned bodice to provide endless support and the perfect amount of lift. Crafted in our signature stretch crepe that both smooths and hugs all the right places, Sydney is the perfect gown to ensure every angle is your best angle. - Taken from the Alyssa Kristin website.

I got married in October 23 having bought the dress in February 23. I loved the dress instantly but wanted to have a dress with sleeves, I therefore added sleeves to the dress which are removable (you can see in photos with the sleeves on and off). The dress has buttons running down the back and I added a loop for the bustle. The dress has two layers of cream lining. The dress has a really long train which I loved and I have spare buttons if you wanted to add more on.

The dress is split sized I am usually as size 12 on top (34D) and 14 on the bottom, so the dress is sized 16 on the bottom and is 10 on top. I also had cups stitched into the top to help my boobs stay in.

Otherwise the dress is in great condition and has come up really clean after being dry cleaned.

Alterations

I added poppers to the straps of the dress as I was getting married in October, the sleeves are by designer Charlie Bear who no longer produces wedding dresses and accessories. You could remove the poppers easily and keep it as s strapless dress. The poppers are under the straps so you don't see them if you remove the sleeves.
