I bought this dress to wear at night after the wedding and it was very comfortable. I showed 2 pictures b/c the salesgirl at David’s said that many brides wear with a sash. It fits amazing on small or larger busted women (I’m an a/b and there was another woman trying it on who was a D next to me and the cut looked good on both of us.)

Here’s the link to the dress with all the great reviews and pictures of different body types in it:

http://www.davidsbridal.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplayView?storeId=10052&catalogId=10051&categoryId=-49998999?tIdx=31&subCategory=-49999486%7c-49998999&catentryId=1000198

My measurements are 34″, 25″, 37″ and it fit very well. I did not have it altered at all in the meaurements so it fits exactly the way a size 4 would fit if you tried it on in the store. I had the crinline taken off of the bottom for my night but I’m having it put back on. I also had the bottom temporary tacked up instead of permanently hemmed so it is no back to normal. I’m having it cleaned now so it should come back in great condition.

If you have any questions please let me know.

I received word from the seamstress that the crinoline was lost (argh!) and so I am selling it now without the crinoline attached. In strip photos I’ve attached the train is tacked up underneath and there is no netting to pouf it. I have a small crinoline slip that I was going to wear underneath but it looked no different without it. The fabric on the bottom is stiff enough to hold it in place so that it is much easier to walk and dance without the excess. If you want the crinoline slip I will include it in the sale.

Lovely, elegant, French designer, strapless ruched dress in white silk taffeta. The fabric falls from a gather in the front (where the flower is) in layers to the hem. I wore it for my July, 2008 wedding and the fabric was comfortable and light. It has a short train which comfortably bustles for dancing and reception.

I was determined not to buy a strapless dress but this one changed my mind; the ruching is incredibly flattering and the diagonal, sweeping flow of the skirt lends interest without ornamentation. I took off a rhinestone pin at the hip and replaced it with a vintage silk flower I found at an antiques market (something old!) . I also replaced the original lace-up closure in the back with a zipper and covered buttons (visible in the photo of the back). I had a simple bustle made, which can be easily re-done if the height is not right for you (hook & thread eye). This dress’s simplicity means you can dress it way up (diamonds, high heels, etc) or go with a simpler look, as I did.

The dress has been professionally dry-cleaned (right after the wedding). As you’ll see from the last photo, there’s a small stain with a tiny tear near the hem at the right side of the gown (about 3 1/2 inches from the bottom). A shorter bride can just have the dress shortened and it will be gone. It’s not visible at all in a casual look at the dress, and you have to get close to it and look hard to see it. I have more photos of the spot, so just ask if you’re curious and I’d be happy to send them.
Please let me know if you have any questions or want to see more photos! For those in the Boston area, try-ons can be arranged. Good luck!

Off-the shoulder, full length wedding gown, with rouched waist and buttons covering a zipper enclosure on the back. Rouching is very flattering to all figures and the gathered bodice is surprisingly flattering to girls with a larger bust, I’m a 38 DD and it doesn’t make me look obscene like so many other dresses. It’s a beautiful balance of simplicity and feminity without being over the top or a cookie-cutter dress.

Beautiful authentic Anjolique brand wedding gown. Dress has only been worn to try on, not for an event, in perfect condition with beautiful beadwork at the shoulders, under the bust and the hips. There is some dirt along the hem due to trying it on, when you get it altered your seamtress should clean it for you thus removing the dirt. Dress is Ivory with gold and silver beadwork. Truly a stunning and unique dress that would make any bride feel gorgeous. I’m sad to part with the dress, but have to as I’ve decided to wear my mother’s veil which does not match this dress in the slightest.

I really would love to see this dress walk down the aisle on a beautiful bride, let my loss be your gain! The dress retails for over $900.00 and is rare in stores, you will not get this kind of deal anywhere else. I’m located in the San Fransisco Bay Area, if you’re local, maybe we can set up a time for you to view and try on the dress? Email me if you want more pictures as well!

Dress has not been altered. At 5′8″ there was enough length to the dress that I could have worn at least 2″ heels. I normally wear a size 12 in jeans, 12-14 in dresses, and it fit me almost perfectly.

Anjolique describes their dresses as: a unique collection of wedding gowns. Elegant, distinctive and classic, yet with a twist, our gowns will suit your personality and taste whether that may be traditional, sexy, chic or avant garde.
