Romantic Sleeveless V-Neck A-Line Wedding Dress
This Anne Barge dress was an absolute dream wedding dress for me. The dress features silk duchess floral jacquard with fitted cummerbund and full A-line skirt featuring pockets. The floral pattern on the silk has no beading and just shimmers a bit in sunlight. It looks stunning in person and it elevates the dress to add a little detailing to an otherwise very classic look. This dress is from Anne Barge, a high-end designer, and was purchased from a trunk show right off the runway in 2023. It is a unique design that sells for close to $5,000 new. You will not find another one of these dresses for this price!
Condition: The dress was professionally cleaned so there are no stains and blemishes and is currently preserved in a box so it should be in nearly new condition.
Alterations: While I typically wear size 4 dresses, this wedding dress is a size 6. I am 5'8" and wore 2" heels so the dress was hemmed to that height. The V-neck was closed to be 2 inches higher than the original design. It was taken in at the waist and bust a bit as well. Cups were added to fill out the bust (I am a size 32A for bras). Finally, a French bustle was added.
My measurements at the time of the alterations:
Bust: 32.75
Waist: 27.5
Hips: 38
