About the Dress

From the moment I laid eyes on this dress, it was love at first sight! As someone who doesn’t fit the conventional bride mold, I found the search for the perfect dress challenging. Many options felt repetitive and uninspired, especially in larger sizes. I wanted a dress that showcased my back and arms without revealing too much cleavage, and comfort was a must—I didn’t want to change into a second dress on my big day.

When I tried on this stunning gown, I knew it was the one. It checks all the boxes: a beautifully unique back design, a discreet décolletage, and a luxurious fabric that resembles brocade but is incredibly lightweight. I wore it on a warm summer day and felt comfortable and free all day long.

This dress is perfect for the bride who embraces her individuality and desires a touch of drama on her special day. And yes, it has pockets—because who doesn’t love a little practicality?

I cherish the memories of my wedding day, and I hope this dress can bring the same joy to its next owner. Could that be you?

I purchased this dress in spring 2024 from Evelie Bridal Saloon in London. It’s the Aire Barcelona Model Anua from the 2022 collection. I’m happy to provide more details or even a video from my wedding if you’re interested!

Alterations

Hem layer was shortened front through sides - the idea was to be able to have high heel shoes for the ceremony (and the heels were shown a little bit) and then change to flats with the dress reaching exactly to the floor. I am 165 cm. - Can send more pictures if requested.

There are also multiple bustle with loops and buttons added in order to lift the train and bustle it up in order to dance freely in the dress.

The back straps are adjustable so I think that these could be easily altered to go up or down a size if necessary.
