Mini After Party Dress with Square Neckline, Lace Applique Bodice, 3D Satin Leaf Trim, and Long Lace Gloves

Annabella Bridal, founded in Izmir with a vision of elegance extending from Turkey to the world, is an exclusive fashion house that blends modern lines with traditional haute couture craftsmanship. Each design is brought to life with the meticulous care of a work of art by our in-house expert team, guided by the motto, "The best or nothing."

The After Party Collection is born for the wedding's last dance — like a bride passing through the cacti in the tropical gardens of Alaçatı: free, brave, and all her own. Every design in this collection is meticulously crafted to make a statement on that very night.

A design inspired by nature, but one that showcases nature itself. The 3D satin leaves gathered at the lower edge of the skirt seem to have just sprung from a garden — each sewn individually, each positioned at a different angle. The long illusion lace glove, on the other hand, provides a haute couture response to this natural spirit: elegant, strong, and a little mysterious. This is what it feels like to look like a queen even while walking through a cactus garden.

Design Details

Neckline — Square Neckline and Strap Detail: The straight wide square neckline, with its thick straps, creates a modern and decisive upper line. The neckline edge is framed with a delicate lace applique border; this fine border defines elegance without disrupting the simple appearance. The width and structure of the straps provide a secure and comfortable fit for the dress.

Sleeve / Accessory — Long Illusion Lace Glove: Designed separately from the dress, the long transparent illusion lace glove is the most theatrical detail of this design. The glove, extending from the upper arm to the wrist, features floral and branch motif lace applique embellishments; at the wrist, the embellishments intensify, creating a delicate crystal bead cuff effect. Its transparent structure frames the skin, and the lace motifs create shadow play on the skin — the dress changes when the glove is removed, and transforms when it is worn.

Fabric / Embellishment — Lace Applique Bodice: The entire bodice of the dress is covered with floral and branch motif lace applique embellishment — the fabric base is visible, the applique motifs lightly rise above it, creating a three-dimensional texture. This embellishment offers the same depth both up close and from a distance; the bodice and the lace glove speak the same motif language — a consistent design integrity from head to toe.

Dress style — Cut: Mini A-Line — a free and dynamic silhouette that flares gently from the waist, ending above the knee. It is included in the After Party collection and A-line evening gown categories.

Embellishment / Skirt — 3D Satin Leaf Lower Border: The most unique and daring detail of this design: a 3D large satin leaf applique border encircling the lower edge of the skirt. Each leaf is individually hand-sewn, each positioned at a slightly different angle — as if the skirt itself has bloomed. With movement, the leaves shimmer, creating a vibrant composition on the dance floor. In photographs, each frame presents a different garden scene.

Fabric — Fabric and Color: Mikado/crepe bodice with lace applique embellishment, 3D satin leaf applique lower border, long transparent illusion lace glove. Color: Optical white / Off-white.
