About the Dress

Allure Bridal states, "Restrained opulence is our aim for this gown, featuring clean lines but plenty of sparkle and detailing."

This dress was a new floor sample when I purchased it however it was NEVER WORN for a wedding, I ended up picking a different dress for my wedding (changed my mind last minute in overall style and went with something edgier and less classic looking). The gown was fully clean and prepped to be ready to be worn for a wedding.

This gown is still most beautiful gown I have ever tried on and by far the most elegant. The beading adds a lot of sparkle an the lace gives it a classic feel. There are sheer sides and a low sheer back that will make the bride feel sexy but covered and secured for dancing. The train is simple yet stunning with the beaded lace edge. While the front is gorgeous, the back of this gown is a show stopper.

The top 4 buttons on the back have loops to hold it closed after that it's a hidden zipper making this dress very easy to get in and out of. Also the bustling takes only a few seconds to do.

I am having a hard time parting with this gown because it is so incredibly beautiful, especially when the light hits it and sparkles. But, it is also too beautiful to be sitting in my closet and I want it to go to someone who will wear it on their wedding day.

When I wore this gown I felt so sexy and beautiful and like a fairytale bride. I knew immediately that I had to have it. I even tried to find a reason to wear this gown for my wedding, but ultimately, it didn't fit the style of the day.

Very little alterations were done. Support was added in the bust for more comfortable dancing and it was hemmed about 1/2 an inch. I'm 5'4 but I wore 4.5in heals when fitted for this gown.

It's a sample size 12 and and pretty much fit me very well (38 in bush, 31in waste, 36in hips). The lace does stretch so it can be worn tight. And not to give TMI, but my bum looked so good it and that is never my best asset!

The owner/tailor of the shop made sure everything on the gown was perfect before I picked it up and it's been in its bag since then. I hope this dress brings you so much joy on your special day!
