    I've recently fallen in love with Allure 8526, but it exceeds my budget. Does anyone know of any less expensive dresses that have a similar look?

    I have. I'm a little anti-David's because they apparently give out their customers' info to other vendors. I've gotten countless calls and junk mail ever since I went to DB.

    But I do like a few of their dresses quite a lot and may have to go back one more time.

    @ChaiAnkh99: Also you should look on oncewed.com as well as preownedweddingdresses.com

    You may be able to get the allure dress you love for a smaller price tag.

    Here are 2 currently for sale:

    The www.ebridalsuperstore.com has that dress for $598. I don't know if that is within your budget.

    @helly: That is a really beautiful dress!

    @OurWedding: Thanks! I'm somewhat wary of buying a dress via the internet, but that site seems legit.

    @ChaiAnkh99: bestbridalprices has it as well and does price match (you'll have to email them to get their price for it). i went through them and got my Enzoani reception dress for 1/2 off, so it's pretty legit.

    @ChaiAnkh99: They have an authorized retail store which is pretty much their brick and mortar store in Burlington, NC called the Bridal Mart. Ebridalsuperstore is based out of Burlington as well. I've actually been to the Bridal Mart to try on dresses and took a few of my bridesmaids too. The Bridal Mart is an authorized dealer of all the designers they carry. I was going to order my Alfred Angelo from there but ended up getting from Jays in Florida instead. They had a little cheaper price. I know several people that have ordered from ebridalsuperstore. Good luck finding your dress!

    The DB dress I was thinking of was NOTHING similar! ...BUT

    Not sure how much Allure dresses are but could you do Maggie Sottero? Her styles are great and has a couple styles that remind me of the Allure,

    Adorea or Brenda

    @ChaiAnkh99:

     

    I have this dress for sale. What size are you? I wore it in my Sep 10' wedding and had it cleaned and stored for resale. Are you still interested in purchasing it? Let me know.
