The Dress

I had a quick elopement in July 2024 and purchased this Anais Anette wedding dress to wear during my 15-minute ceremony.

It was glorious! It was comfortable, not too heavy, had classic lines with a bit of unique flair (e.g., the overdress in back has subtle beads that sparkle in the sun), and made me feel so gorgeous that I couldn't help but strut throughout the celebration. Between pre- and post-ceremony photos and the actual ceremony, I wore this dress for a total of 45 minutes, so it is basically brand new. No damage at all.

I purchased this Mattea gown for $3800 and added $1000 in alterations. However, since it has been worn briefly, I am selling it for $2000. For the cost of shipping, I would also be open to sending this to you, if you'd like.

I absolutely love this gown and considered keeping it, but then realized how lovely it would be to send along to someone else so that they can feel just as wonderful on their big day. If you're looking for a gasp-worthy gown, I'm here to tell you, this wedding gown will deliver.

Feel free to reach out with any questions, and congrats on your engagement!

There is a bustle, and it was taken in a tiny bit at the waist.
