I bought this beautiful Allure Couture Bridal dress in October 2018 at a couture boutique in Los Angeles. I bought a size 10 and got it taken in quite a bit. Since I'm tall (5'10"), I didn't need to shorten the length - instead I added 1 foot of extra length in the back to accentuate the train. My seamstress also added a built in bra for a little lift. This dress is GORGEOUS and unique because of the nude undertone with detailed ivory lace, and beautiful embellishments and sparkle on the front chest area. I paid over $3,000 for the dress and $600 in alterations. The nude buttons go all the way from the top of the back to the very bottom of the train. I had my seamstress add loops to the buttons so they would lay flat. I never felt more beautiful wearing this dress and I received so many compliments from everyone - even the entire resort in Cabo where we got married! By the time I got my alterations done, the dress fit like a glove. The dress was easily alterable and can also be shortened for those who are shorter. With my shoes, I was about 6' on my wedding day.

Condition: A couple embellishment could be sewn back on in the front so it isn't loose and a few of the nude buttons on the back need some extra cleaning. I had it dry cleaned after my wedding on 6/7/19 and it has been in the garment bag since. While I had my seamstress add detachable straps to this dress last minute for a romantic off the shoulder look, it is a strapless dress with the option to add straps if you wish. The straps do not come with the dress, but it was super easy to make out of stretchy bridal lace.

Alterations

Taken in at the waist for a cinched look, taken in at hips, added 1 foot extra train length, added off shoulder stretchy straps that were detachable, and added loops for the buttons in the back to be laid down flat.
