This is the absolute high-fashion "it-girl" dress. The Anika was among one of the first dresses I ever tried and no matter how many dresses I tried after, nothing would even come close. Pictures simply don't do justice to how stunning she is in-person. Danielle Frankel's craftsmanship is unparalleled, the fabric is divine and I've never felt more beautiful in my entire life.

Gown details: Tulle and twill corseted tea length ball gown. Lace and piped cotton twill bodice with full hook and eye back closure. Exaggerated soft tulle, pleated panels at bust to drape over the body. Sunburst pleated, hand crinkled tulle skirt upon silk organza base. Crinoline for structure and center back zip to close.

I spent over $1300 to professionally dry-clean and preserve the dress, so the next bride who is lucky enough to wear her feels as special as I did. This was done by Bridgestone Bridal Care (New York’s exclusive member of the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists). More details here: https://bridgestonebridalcare.com/
