The Anais dress by Melissa Sweet takes the traditional mermaid gown and makes it something new. This pretty, pretty gown has a sweetheart neckline and is covered in floral embroidery. It has a sleek mermaid silhouette and other than the allover embroidery is a very simple gown. What makes it unique is the vertically ruffled skirt. It's dramatic without making you look like a flamenco dancer.
