The Dress

This is the “Annie” dress from Truvelle.

I purchased this dress before the pandemic in 2019. Our wedding was postponed twice to the point that I ended up buying a different dress because this one no longer fit. This dress is altered but has never been worn!

This dress is ballerina-chic. What I love most about it is the dramatic 80” train and the modern floral organza.

Description from Truvelle’s website:

“A timeless, floral organza dress with a long train.

Subtle, sexy, and comfortable — yes, all in the same dress. From strategic boning to delicate spaghetti straps, the refined Annie gown boasts the perfect fit. A flattering scooped neck is built to support, while the low scooped back is built to show off a little. The Annie is made from a floral organza that knows how to make an entrance, while that extra long, extra voluminous train ensures all eyes are kept on you.

Minimal boning combined two sets of interfacing and spaghetti straps give structure and support.”

Please note: one side of the clasp above the zipper popped off when I was trying it on. It is a very easy and cheap fix.

Alterations

$1800 worth of alterations were put into this dress! The back of the dress was changed from a scoop to a v to make a more flattering silhouette. I had a really beautiful bustle added to the train and the lining. It looks like it’s cascading down the back! Cups have been added for more padding and support in the bust - no bra necessary! Clasps were added to help the fabric cover the zipper.
