BHLDN by Anthropologie // Lara
Purchased for $800 in 2018, worn once
Style: Vandra
Color: Dusty Rose
Closure: Back zipper

Bridal size: 12 (fits typical size 8-10)
*Bridal sizes are larger than your typical size*
Folded flat measurements:
Bust: 18” (fits bust size 36”)
Waist: 15.5” (fits waist size 31”)
Hip (underskirt): 20.5” (fits up to hip size 41”)
Sleeve diameter: 6” (fits mid-bicep arm circumference up to 12”)
Length (neckline to front hem): 54”
Length (neckline to back hem not bustled): 64” (bustled neckline to back hem is ~55”)

For reference, I am 5’7” and wore 3” heels when the dress was not bustled and sneakers when it was bustled. I had no issues with dragging on the ground.

Lightly altered: some adjustments on the bodice and added a bustle—there is an -intentional- hole in the back tulle underlay as part of the bustle (as seen in the video)
*When not bustled, this is invisible under the top layers
*When bustled, this is hidden by the bustle of the top layer of the dress

*Extremely minor* damage to the top layer bustle attachment point.
*There is a very slight rip where the button for the top layer of the bustle pulled out.
*Not noticeable and would not “need” to be fixed if you don’t plan to use the bustle.
*If you DO want to use the bustle, just add (or have your seamstress add) a new button or hook to that attachment point

If you’d like the shoes as well (Jessica Simpson size 8, 3” heel, add $30) please let me know. I usually wear an 8.5 (with normal to wide width) and these fit me well.

Please let me know if you have any questions! Happy to send more details or photos if requested!
