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 combines modern lines with traditional haute couture mastery. Each design is meticulously brought to life as a work of art by its in-house expert team, with the motto "The best or nothing."

The After Party Collection was born for the wedding dress's final dance — like a bride passing through cacti in Alaçatı's tropical gardens: free, bold, and true to herself. Every design in this collection is carefully crafted to leave its mark on that night.

A design inspired by nature, but also showcasing it. The 3D satin leaves gathered at the bottom edge of the skirt look as if they've been plucked from a garden — each sewn individually, each at a slightly different angle. The long illusion lace glove, on the other hand, offers a haute couture response to this natural spirit: elegant, strong, and a little mysterious. This is what it's like to look like a queen even when walking in a cactus garden.

Design Details

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

Sleeve / Accessory — Long Illusion Lace Glove: Designed independently from the dress, the separate long sheer illusion lace glove is the most theatrical detail of this design. Lace applique embroideries with floral and branch motifs are featured on the glove's surface, extending from the upper arm to the wrist; at the wrist section, the embroideries become denser, creating a thin 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 worn.

Fabric / Embellishment — Lace Applique Bodice: The entire bodice of the dress is covered with lace applique embroidery featuring floral and branch motifs — the fabric base is visible, and the applique motifs are slightly raised on it, creating a three-dimensional texture. This embroidery offers the same depth both up close and from afar; 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 slightly from the waist and ends above the knee. It is included in the after party collection and A-line evening dress categories.

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

Fabric — Fabric and Color: Mikado/crepe bodice with lace applique embroidery, 3D satin leaf applique bottom border, long sheer illusion lace gloves. Color: Optical white / Off-white.
