The Dress

Sydney dress from designer Alyssa Kristin.

Amazing crepe material, square neckline, straps, low back, fit-and-flare style, train.

I noticed throughout the process that the buttons down the back come off fairly easily. One came off during alterations, which my seamstress fixed, and one came off at some point after the wedding (see picture). You would want to replace it with a new one or move the bottom button to the gap.

There may be some very faint staining on the bottom hem, but if any at all can be detected, it's on the inside layers/lining of crepe.

This was my absolute dream dress. I would wear it every day if it was socially acceptable. I hope someone else can enjoy it like I did.

Alterations

Hemmed to my height of 5'6" with 3 inch heels.
Stitching added to the neckline to hold it in place.
Inside bustle added using stretchy loops and buttons. Really slick and easy to bustle and it laid very nicely (see picture).
Stretchy loop added to inside of train to make it easy to carry.
