The Dress

Grace Loves Lace Anu gown, size XS (US size 4). The gown has an elegant, relaxed fit, and worked on my body both before I got pregnant (when I initially tried it on and ordered it), and when we had our ceremony and I was 4 months along. Open back, asymmetric sleeves, with multiple ways to style the ties and personalize the fit. The stretch silk material has a luxurious, comfortable feel to it.

The gown is made to order within the Grace Loves Lace Standard size run, and takes about 6 months to arrive. So if you try it on in the store and then buy it from me, you'll save a lot of money AND a lot of time. https://graceloveslace.com/pages/how-our-sizing-works

Alterations: Hemmed to 175cm, I had the back lowered a few cm for a deeper v, and the arms modified slightly to lay better. I am 5' 6 3/4" and originally wore the gown with a 3/4" heel, but switched to flats on our wedding day to account for the belly. Worn for just a couple hours, dry cleaned, and only has a few small marks on the inside seam that my dry cleaner said could be erased on a second pass.
