Anne Barge, Blue Willow - Collier

The way I felt in this dress is luxurious and classic. This dress is nuanced, with intricate allover lace for a dramatic and yet classic vibe. This dress is brand new with tags and unworn! This gown is from designer Anne Barge, the style is called Collier. The dress comes with a matching long sleeve Collier topper with thumb holes and custom Collier cathedral length veil. With the topper it is a long sleeve dress. Without the topper this is a strapless dress.
This wedding gown is a flattering gentle trumpet shape and features corded lace over a layer of Chantilly lace with a stunning scalloped hem. It also features small matching buttons to the godet. The veil has been customized to include a blusher, although it would be easy enough to have removed if not preferred.
The topper has been tacked to the top of the dress and could easily be removed. I do not consider the dress itself altered. It has not been hemmed. The topper's sleeves were taken in at the top, as it was quite generous. If you don't have exceptionally large arms you should be just fine. The bustle has been created already. It is done in an over bustle style to maximize the impact of the gorgeous lace. This dress is, in my opinion, very unique.
The color is called Silk White. It is not a bright white, which makes it flattering on all skin tones! I ordered this dress in June of 2025 for a March 2026 wedding. There is nothing wrong with the dress, but I ultimately decided against the marriage (insert shrugging emoji). I know you will love it as much as I did!
