About the Dress

This Anne Barge Perola gown is a timeless masterpiece crafted in luxurious Italian Kalika silk. The pointed sweetheart strapless neckline and A-line silhouette exude elegance, enhanced by a twisted draped bodice that flows seamlessly into a cathedral-length train adorned with buttons down to the hem. The dress features sturdy boning for impeccable structure, eliminating waistline bulge for a smooth, flattering fit. Layers of crinoline create a graceful A-line shape, while hidden loops and an effortless bustle add convenience. The detachable twisted draped shawl, accented with delicate pearls, offers versatile styling. Its clean lines and classic design ensure a sophisticated bridal look, and the dress moves beautifully, staying comfortably in place all day. The gown includes a sash with a missing pearl and is currently dry cleaned and preserved in box, ensuring pristine condition. Perfect for brides seeking elegance, comfort, and a breathtaking back view.
