    My dress is Allure 205W...meaning its in the Women's section!! I'm a curvy girl!! Can you believe that they told me Im a size 14...last summer I was a size 18 pant and then I lost 45 lbs! So I dont have any pics of me in it because through all the excitement we forgot to take pics...we werent allowed to take pics unless we were buying...but then we forgot! But here is a link to my Allure dress...pics of me coming soon! Any ladies Allure brides...show me your pics please!

    Yayyy!! I'm an Allure bride, too! I was so happy with their prices and quality. I couldn't believe that I got such a nice dress for such a reasonable price. It was litterally hundreds of dollars less than my budgeted amount :) Your dress is beautiful, by the way. I'm sure you'll look stunning in it. Congrats on the amazing weight loss, too! Here is a pic of me in mine. I have no idea what the style number is but I know I've seen it in magazines before.

    Thank you! It wasnt easy but I just got myself in the mindset that I want to lose this weight before the wedding and before we get married. And now that I look back at pictures Im glad I did it. I didnt even know that I was that heavy looking...I knew when I got on the scale I was heavy when it said 245-248...and I knew I didnt want to see 250. My fiance and I did it together and we are still working out together. We got on the tredmills at our apt complex gym and walked around the complex and did weights and stuff. Now we have a little weight/stepper gym in our apt in our bedroom and we try to work out every day...but if not every day at least three times a week. You cant get angry at yourself...which I do sometimes! And you cant worry about the number on the scale. I try to use less mayo or no mayo...Ive been using honey mustard on my sandwhiches instead, I eat 80 calorie Dannon yogurt the Light and Fit and 100 calorie Chewy snack bars. If i get a late night snack craving I try to eat Special K...but I still eat pizza, chinese food...and other things...just not as much, right now im maintaining my weight but not gaining..so I know I need to exercise more because Ive been slacking a little...but its not a diet...its a way of life. You need exercise and healthy foods...and you can snack too...just dont over snack! Good luck too...just tell yourself its not a diet...its a new way of living. Its a life plan.

    @ D.Marie: It just needs to be altered a little bit in the back/around the hips.  I'm getting married in New Orleans, at a park.  I hope it's not too formal for a park! 

    What color are you doing yours in?  I see it comes in 3 or 4.

    Ferris I think it will look romantic in a park. The picture of the model's gown is white...I will be getting mine in ivory. We're having ours at a historical mansion on the waterfront...hopefully the ceremony will be outside!

    I will also be wearing the Allure 8634 in ivory.  It looks a million times better in person. 

    The lace does look a lot better in the ivory!  Laughing

    I'm an allure bride as well! I got mine at a sample sale last February! I've had second thoughts about it but everytime I put it on I love it again-- I think I am having a lace bolero made to go with

    @Ferris Wheel: Looks so pretty on you! What style number is it? I think I like yours even better than the 8634, my previous favorite.

    I tried to find my dress for about 6 months until I finally visited my mother in FL and there was a shop that had it.  I tried on about 30 dresses in the meantime, but couldn't stop wondering what this one would look like on me.  I am absolutely glad I waited, I love love love love my dress:o)

    @D.Marie: I am an Allure bride. I am not sure what design number it is but it is very plain and rouched, with beading at the top. It is very form fitting.
