I absolutely LOVED wearing my Alyssa Kristin Natalie dress for my big day. I'm not a sentimental person, so I'm looking to pass it on to it's next beautiful bride to enjoy.
It was flattering in all the right ways (especially for a girl like me who has a pretty big booty), and I got so many compliments on how fabulous it looked. It's a little stretchy, but firm enough to hold you in and shape your best parts. A little sexy because of the fit and low back, but pretty conservative in the front. Photographs SUPER well.
I wore it for ~10 hours total, and had it professionally dry cleaned. I have the "before" and "after" photos provided by the dry-cleaner so you can see how well it turned out - it looks brand new!
I'm also happy to snap some photos of it hanging in my closet now, so you can see it in it's current state - I uploaded the professional photos of day-of to try to capture all angles of the dress + what it looks like on.
I'm 5'4" and wore boots (perhaps added 2 ish inches?)
The dress is a size 6 — I normally wear a size 2-4 in normal streetwear
Measurements of the dress (NOT altered)
Bust 34" (size 4)
Waist 28" (size 6)
Hip 38.5" (size 6)
The only alteration made was shortening the train and adding a bustle. I had the train trimmed down to about half it's normal length. As you can see in the photos, still plenty of train.
It has a zipper + clasp in the back. The underarms are a deep V with a very fine mesh (you can't see the mesh at all!).
Here's a breakdown of what I paid, that informed the price:
$3700 retail
$100 shipping
$150 alterations
$400 dry cleaning
Open to shipping it outside of Santa Barbara, CA - which is where I'm located! (you pay for shipping).
This wedding dress is the Natalie (2020 Collection) style by Alyssa Kristin from the 2020 collection. I bought this dress in , it has been professionally cleaned and is unaltered.
