Classic Pleated Anne Barge Ball Gown

When it came to choosing her dress, Danielle knew she wanted an elegant, timeless style. “I was never caught up in the hoopla of trying on dresses, but rather casually perused without formal appointments—a dress shop’s worst nightmare,” Danielle says. “We settled on a few options and even had measurements taken, but it was at the final casual peek that I found an Anne Barge dress that was simply perfect. The clean lines of the fitted bodice and the dramatic pleated skirt captured Danielle’s attention, while the exquisite silk fabric sealed the deal. She had a silk waistband and bow and covered buttons added to the dress for a more personalized feel, and accessorized with a single gold bangle, a diamond necklace and pearl earrings.
