Anyone else wearing Allure 9155?

Help! I Love this dress and have lost all interest in any other dress, I think it's the ONE. But unfortunately can't find it ANYWHERE close to my size, seems to be more popular on the Plus end of sizes and I am worried trying on a 14 won't give me an accurate idea of the width of the bodice panels as it will be larger on a dress that size. I am usually a size 4-6 depending on the brand. Can I ask what size you ordered in & what size you tried on? We look similarly sized. Were alterations an arm and a leg? I was hoping to find a sample size or secondhand but it is looking like I will have to order it blind so any information would be super helpful!

Thanks!

You are in luck! As much as I adored this gown, circumstances beyond my control made me unable to wear it and I ended up having to buy a new gown. My dress is completely unaltered, smoke-free home, cat-free home. It's in perfect condition really -- I never wore it! It's a bridal size 8, but that means about a street size 6. I was around size 4-6 when I bought it. I'm actually trying to sell it right now (to offset the cost of my new dress). I'm selling it on preowndedweddingdresses.com . It's unaltered and it's less worn than a sample dress. So, if you're interested, I'd be happy to give my lovely dress a new home!

Oh! And I'm not 100% sure but I think that the sample size I tried on was either a bridal size 10 or an 8. I'm thinking it was a 10. The third photo is of the actual dress when I went to pick it up from the bridal salon. I'd tried it on to make sure it fit before I took it home.

@Kate Thanks so much! I actually was able to find it in a size 6 which I think may be perfect (I am just waiting to hear on the measurements) as I am trying to slim down a slight bit more for the wedding, if I think the measurements of the 6 are too small though I would definitely be interested if it's an 8! I will keep you posted!

@Niki Absolutely! Try and get the designers measurements if you can. The waist on this particular dress runs a little narrow and it's a firm fitting dress. It's got a sort of corset built into the dress itself. As someone who used to sell wedding dresses, I highly recommend buying the size you are now and having it taken in versus trying to lose weight to fit in a certain dress size. Dresses can always be taken in, but not always taken out. Hence my dilemma of my size change over an unexpectedly long (3 year) engagement. I could "technically" have taken it out to fit my new size but it messes with the seams and the structure of the dress to take it out more than just a little (particularly with the cut and design of this dress.) Regardless of who you buy from, I'm sure you'll be a beautiful bride! Good luck to you!! Let me know if I can be of any help.

I am also selling my Allure 9155 in street size 12, bridal size 16. It's a beautiful dress and I wouldn't mind keeping it - but we are trying to raise money for my sister in law's wedding and I would love the sale to help with the purchase of her dream dress.

Hi, are you still selling? How much is it and where do you live?

Thanks!
