This is a replica Anniston dress. I just posted a few days ago about how I’m wearing my big ol’ fancy dress to my tiny littly intimate outdoor wedding and I’m totally excited about it.
Well, the dress came in today and I’m in love with it. They did a great job (I knew they would, this is my second purchase from them). There are a couple alterations I need done (hips are too big, but I ordered a standard size so this was to be expected). It also folds over a bit where the seam is at the top so that will need to be fixed somehow. I additionally asked for strong harder boning because the first dress wasn’t sufficient. They really didn’t do this, but it was easily fixed with proper undergarment (I have a Felina that made it look ok). Theres a funny folding/ bulge of the fabric between my boobs, I think this can be fixed. NBD. Overall, very happy with my dress I paid $170 for!!! Never could justify spending more (I don’t care if other people do, it’s cool. I just rather put my $$ into other things is all 😉

Oh I forgot to add there are sequins on it… but they dont’ look bad because they’ve got beading over them. I hate sequins. You can’t tell.
