Recognize that sensational pink dress in the background? That is our very own LF217 starring in the finale of CBS’s Two Broke Girls. We were thrilled to see her make a guest appearance, and we look forward to seeing much more of her! You can find Anne Barge’s LF217 in retail stores across the country and on trunk shows. The bonus? We can make her in any color your heart desires!

We love belts as obvious by the giant selection of gorgeous belts we have accrued over the past few seasons. Why do we love belts so much? A couple reasons…1)They are beautiful 2)They are an economical way to add beading and flair to an inexpensive dress 3)They accentuate your waistline which makes for an extremely flattering figure. By adding a belt to a dress you can completely change the whole look of a dress, and today we have a great example of a gorgeous dress worn two ways to suit many different body types. The picture below are the exact same dress with the only difference being the dress. What do you think?

Today’s dress is from  our newest collection, and her name is Addison. She is a gorgeous traditional lace gown. With perfect strapless silhouette and impeccable lace placement, Addison is one of the most figure flattering gowns in our collection. Any body type can wear her and every body type will look breathtaking. She can be found on trunk shows and will be in stores soon. Email us at info@annebarge.com for more details and pricing.

The Met…

Far and away, my favorite fashion event of the year is the Met gala. It is the academy awards gone mad! Fashion is pushed to it’s limits, and designers are allowed to let their imaginations run free. While some stars fall flat or into the realm of  ”wtf” most rise to the occasion. A few even reach that upper echilon where they balance perfectly on the line between going way to far and outta this world amazing. These are a couple of my personal favorites from this year. You can bet these will be pinned up on my inspiration board for next seasons Anne Barge runway!

I clearly remember when I was little that my favorite Barbie was Bride Barbie. She was amazing, and the best part was her dress. It was a full ballgown skirt with sparkles and sparkly spaghetti strap top. The best part? The skirt came off to reveal a short sparkly little number for Barbie to wear later. I loved it! How cool, two dresses in one. You can wear one to the ceremony and slip off the skirt to make your grand departure. Even better, you can slip off that dress halfway through the reception to really get down on the dance floor. Well, this season my dreams came true, and we made Chatham. She is a gorgeous full ballgown with lace bodice. The skirt then slides off to reveal a short lace dress. She is available only on trunk shows right now, but will be in stores soon. For additional pricing and details feel free to email us at info@AnneBarge.com. To see more of our new collection visit us on Facebook, Pinterest or www.AnneBarge.com.
