The Dress

Alyssa Kristin Bianca is a stretch crepe v-neck strapless gown that features a hand draped pleated front with a peaked neckline. The gown has boning for support and features a fitted silhouette with a long train.

This 2023 Alyssa Kristin Bianca dress is the strapless version, but I bought the "Camila" straps to go with it so I'd have the option. See photos for dress with detachable straps. I ended up not wearing the straps, but the dress has built in buttons so you can attach/detach as desired!

This dress has been upgraded with buttons all the way down the back, and I asked the designer to lower the back slightly so it wasn't so straight across. See B&W photo for detail.

The tag is a size 4, but it is a split size because I am smaller on the top than the bottom! My measurements are in the details above. I am typically a 2 on the top and a 4 on the bottom. It was the perfect fit. It has a very simple American bustle that is fully intact. Happy to provide more photos on request. The dress is super clean, has no flaws, and is ready for its next party!

Alterations

Cups have been sewn into the bodice for added support.
Hemline - I am 5'4 without shoes, and the hem was adjusted for a 3.3" heel.
Bustle - simple American bustle added
The seam at the hip was let out slightly to accommodate my measurements and make sure it wasn't too snug across the hips. There are only 3 layers of fabric, so this could easily be brought back in for someone with smaller hips.
