The Dress

Vera Wang's 'Anne A' gown is from the designer's 2019 Fall Bridal collection. The dress is made from ivory tulle, A-line silhouette, with hand placed ivory Chantilly lace on an ivory bodice accented by hand placed ivory macrame lace.

I bought the gown from the Vera Wang New York boutique and all fittings were with Vera Wang, New York. It was worn during my wedding in February 2020 and only for the Ceremony and Cocktail Hour. I changed into another dress for the dinner and dancing portion of the wedding.

This gown is a dream dress for those wanting an elegant, timeless dress with a modern touch created by the double spaghetti straps and bodice. I really loved how the various laces elevated the detail of the dress. I also loved the beautiful depth and and movement that the various layers of light-weight ivory tulle created in person and in pictures. It was incredibly comfortable, light-weight and easy to move around.

The material of the gown allows for some flexibility in size so could fit someone with slightly larger measurements (I am usually a size US 0-2 or AU 6). The waist size does not matter given it is A line.

The gown has been professionally dry cleaned and is in practically perfect condition as I only wore it for the ceremony and cocktail hour. One strap on the right side of the dress broke in the front prior to the wedding ceremony but was sewn back as is shown in all the photos - no damage is visual but I am disclosing for transparency.

The gown includes a bustle added by the Vera Wang alterations team, which was not used as I changed dresses for the first dance. I can send you the video where the VW team explain how to use the bustle.

The gown will be shipped with the Vera Wang garment bag.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Alterations

The gown was adjusted by Vera Wang dressmakers to fit my measurements, including the corset being taken in and the dress taken up to fit my height (5'4) with 4' shoes i.e. 5'8". Invisible breast cups were also included for a size B cup.
