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

Annabella Bridal, established 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 brought to life with the meticulousness of a work of art by its in-house expert team, adhering to the motto, "The best or nothing at all."

The After Party Collection was born for the final dance of the wedding—like a bride walking through the cacti in Alaçatı's tropical gardens: free, bold, and unapologetically herself. Every design in this collection is carefully crafted to make a statement on that special night.

A design inspired by nature, yet staging nature itself. The 3D satin leaves gathered at the hem of the skirt seem to have emerged from a garden—each individually sewn, each at a slightly different angle. The long illusion lace gloves, on the other hand, offer a haute couture answer to this natural spirit: elegant, strong, and a little mysterious. This is what it’s like to look like a queen even when 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 fine lace applique trim; this delicate trim defines elegance without disturbing the simple look. The width and structure of the straps provide a secure and comfortable fit for the dress.

Sleeve / Accessory — Long Illusion Lace Gloves: Designed separately from the dress, the long transparent illusion lace gloves are the most theatrical detail of this design. Floral and branch motif lace appliques adorn the glove's surface, extending from the upper arm to the wrist; the embellishments intensify at the wrist, creating a delicate crystal bead cuff effect. Its transparent structure frames the skin, while the lace motifs create shadow play on the skin—the dress changes when the gloves are removed, and transforms when they are worn.

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

Dress style — Cut: Mini A-Line Cut — a free and dynamic silhouette that gently flares from the waist and ends above the knee. It is featured in the after party collection and A-line evening dress categories.

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

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

Like a lone flower blooming among cacti—in an unexpected place, with unexpected strength. As leaves spill from the skirt, lace hands embrace the night; and every step on that garden path becomes a photograph.
