The Dress

This Anna Campbell dress is just beautiful. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it! However, I had a change of heart leading up to my wedding and bought something a little simpler to suit my casual, beach themed wedding. The Anna Campbell website gives this description:

"Like a precious pearl, the Coco is one of a kind with its lustrous pearl tone beading that ripples softly like waves over the body. Beautifully draped silk tulle falls heavenly into the skirt that flows over the figure and expands into a bounteous train which trails elegantly behind the bride as she walks."

A few things to note; although I never wore the dress i did have it altered - the length was taken up and the straps were sewn into the back of the dress (this is necessary as they come loose when you first receive the gown). They hemmed it to my height wearing heels. My height is approx 168cm and the heels were 9.5cm high. The dress is a size 'S' on the tag, this is around a size 10, give or take a size because the great thing about Anna Campbell dresses is they have an elastic waist and adjustable waist strap. As identified on the website, the back differs a bit from the imagery shown, there is a little less beading on the back and the waist strap ties up in a beautiful silk/satin bow which completes the dress at the back. However if you don't want the bow you can tie it so that it tucks it away instead, or get it altered to remove the bow altogether.
