The Dress

Excellent condition Alyssa Kristin Sydney Dress.

US Size 12.

Made from crepe. Double lined. It's a simple, effortless, very flattering and comfortable dress. Fitted silhouette with long dramatic train.

I absolutely loved wearing this dress, I felt wonderful in it and just had the best day.

Purchased at Love and Lace Bridal in Irvine, California for for $3,150 (included adding custom buttons down the back of the dress)

Professionally dry cleaned the day after the wedding ($225)

GREAT THINGS ABOUT THE DRESS:

Double lining -> Both layers are made from scuba material so I was very smooth and held in all day. Lets the dress fabric fall beautiful.

Button detailing -> Subtle and simple, nicely draws attention to your back and bum

Train -> I loved having a long, but not too long train.

Bustle -> button bustle that pulls the material underneath the dress for easy wear for a night of dancing!

DRESS CONDITION:
Good!
Worn once in Oct 2022.
No marks or flaws on the main bodice, underarms, front skirt - in all the important places it looks like new. There are a few faint and small "black/brown) marks near the hem of the dress post dry clean. These were a result of the inevitable contact with the floor on the day. (All bridal shops will warn you about the train and hem of your dress!).

I was very careful on the day and it's been stored in The Closet Bag, in a non-smoking home since.

This sleek and body hugging gown is perfect for the minimal modern bride.

Alterations

I am 5'5 and was 5'7 in heals so we hemmed 1 inch off the initial length of the dress and added a three button bustle that pulls the material underneath the dress for easy wear for a night of dancing!
Straps taken in half an inch on each side for more support.
Added in cups - bra not needed!
