The Dress

Peretti Gown by Anais Annette was made to order in July 2023. I paid $3,800 with HST for the dress. I spent $300 to hem it and put in a bustle and paid $500 to have it dry cleaned for the next bride. This dress was absolutely breathtaking and will suit any bride in any setting. I adored its lightweight feel, yet it has boning that beautifully cinched my waist, creating a subtle and contemporary corset appearance. Thanks to its structure, being a 34C, I didn't require a bra. It’s in excellent, like-new condition.

Customizations
- French bustle
- Added small hooks to the side of the dress for detachable sleeves (sleeves are pleated tulle fabric - same sleeves on the gown paid an extra $250 to add them but didn't use them and will come with the dress)
- Dress brought in 1 1/2 sizes (label is a size 10, I would say this dress is more a US8)

For reference:
- I typically wear a US6 or 27” in pants, so this dress will fit those measurements or smaller.
- I am 5'2 and wore ~3.4” heels. I would recommend this dress for brides who are who are 5’6” and under.

Alterations

The dress was altered to my measurements and hemmed. A French bustle was also added.
