Jenny Yoo's Avery is a gorgeous A-line dress made of plaid embroidered fabric with a dramatic train. I chose this dress because it was unique, classy, and comfortable! In the end we had a last-minute change to a backyard wedding because of the pandemic and I wore a more casual tea-length dress for that. So I have never worn this dress for more than a few minutes for fitting and alterations.

This dress is surprisingly light for having such a full skirt so it would be the perfect choice for a bride who plans to dance! It would also be good for a summer outdoor wedding, as it was much less hot than other dresses I tried on. I also love the strapless, backless style because it shows some skin tastefully but there's little risk of a wardrobe malfunction.

An art-deco style jewel belt has been sewed on to the dress, but can be removed. I also bought an extra yard of the organza fabric that the seamstress used to make a small modesty panel in the v-neck (see pictures). That barely used any of the extra fabric, so I will send the rest of this with the dress. The seamstress suggested that some people have a set of lingerie made to match their wedding dress, which seems like a really fun idea! Or it could be used for additional alterations if needed.

Alterations

The dress was altered to my measurements as listed above
Most importantly, my bra size sits around 30DD-32DDD so this is currently altered for a somewhat busty shape
There is enough structure built in to the dress that I didn't need to wear a bra with it
The hip measurement doesn't really matter because of the skirt style, but my waist measurement was 28" at the time
It is now more like 29" but the dress still fit pretty comfortably when I tried it on to take pictures
I think you can squish to size since the waistband is so thin, so it is very waist defining
The gown is also already bustled as the pictures show
There is a hidden loop of elastic on the skirt that loops over a pearl button on the back waist
Lastly, the seamstress added a small modesty panel to the v-neckline as shown in the pictures
Since it is made of the sheer embroidered organza, it adds a little bit of coverage without looking frumpy
She also cut the panel itself into a "v" to line up with the plaid pattern and keep the v neckline
I think she did a great job with this!
