The Dress

An Alyssa Kristin stretch crepe gown with classic V front, mesh V at sides, and V back to waist. Fitted silhouette with train and the most perfect bustle. Purchased from Honest in Ivory in Jan 2022.

I LOVED wearing this dress and found it so comfortable, even while sitting and dancing! The fabric is very flattering and doesn't wrinkle. It has two layers of lining (smoothing out your figure) and does not feel heavy. The design is timeless, yet the low back and sheer side cuts add that subtly sexy touch.

The dress is in great condition. I changed into a different dress for evening dancing so it was only worn for about 5 hours. It was professionally dry cleaned right after the wedding (August 2022) and there are no stains. There are a couple of tiny pulls in the fabric, which a seamstress could fix, though they are hardly noticeable. Dry cleaning receipt included. Stored in a breathable dress bag (included).

Alterations

Bra cups sewn in (B cup), but could be removed if unwanted. 3 point bustle added (see photo - my photographer commented that it was the easiest/best bustle she had ever worked with!)
The skirt was brought in 1-2 centimeters to closely fit my waist and hips. Hemmed about 1.5 inches. I'm 5'7" and wore 2.5 inch heels. The seamstress also added an invisible running stitch on the inside of the neckline to help keep the fabric close to the skin when I bent over. It worked great, but could be removed, if desired.
