The Dress

This dress is an Anais Annette Annalise 2019 dress with sleeves. Let me start off by saying how much I loved this dress!! I tried on so many and when I put this one on, I knew instantly it was the one. It was so elegant and form fitted to show off my body, the booty curve helped a lot too! It was the perfect mix of classical elegance and sexy. It is made with such high quality that made me never want to take it off! I have a very straight frame, with not a lot of curvature, which is why I loved this dress!! I felt so amazing that I would wear it over and over again if I was allowed! I loved the deep V's on the front and the back to give it that extra bit of sexiness, while the sleeves and simple design added the perfect classic and elegant touch. We got married in the winter in Colorado, which is why I chose a dress with sleeves. I thought that during the reception I would want to change into a dress without sleeves because I thought they would be restrictive, but the dress was made so well that the sleeves didn't bother me at all while dancing. The dress was so comfortable and easy to wear! I had zero regrets or issues with this dress. There are zero flaws with this dress. It's extremely high quality, the zipper is a breeze, the satin fabric is gorgeous and the lace is the best lace on any dress I tried on. It is super soft and didn't itch at all like other dresses did. The sleeves also had some stretch in them, so they never felt restrictive.

Alterations

I did have the dress fitted, which brought it in quite a bit from its original size 8. I typically wear between a 0 & 2. When I did the alterations, I added a booty curve to my waist to accentuate my rear. I also added buttons all the way down the back of the dress, a silver jeweled belt, and a bra insert. The dress does bustle into a 3 point American style bustle.
