The Dress

The Toddy is a pointed sweetheart trumpet gown of mikado flattering the figure with curved seaming at the hips and detachable off the shoulder sleeves. Features rear zip fastening and covered buttons.

This dress was tailored to fit me absolutely perfectly, and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. This is a timeless gown that was comfortable yet held me in, and felt couture at an affordable price from Anne Barge.

I purchased this gown from Calvet Couture Bridal in Ponte Vera Beach, FL in May of 2020 when it first arrived to the store. It was made to order and arrived in Oct of 2020 and worn once for several hours on our wedding day in February 2021. It was professionally cleaned and pressed after by Oceanside Cleaners who specialize in bridal gowns and somehow looks better than it did the day of our wedding, therefore I am sad to see it sitting in the garment bag. This gown hardley needs a quick steam before it can be worn down the aisle again. I am happy to provide additional images on body as well as in its current state in the garment bag upon request! Below are my provided measurements for reference.

Alterations

- Train-flip bustle, giving the illusion of no bustle at all. The train flips under the fabric and is pinned to itself. It was beautifully done and I can provide additional images upon request!
- $400 worth of alterations to perfectly fit my provided measurements
- Dress hit at the perfect spot wearing 2.5in block heels at 5'2
