That dress is beautiful! My dress was Allure ...I LOVE LACE!
I just ordered my Allure 8634 yesterday! It is beyond perfect. It has absolutely everything I wanted in a dress...and it sounds like you are looking for pretty much the same thing in yours! :) I don't have any pictures yet, as I am not allowed to take pictures until my exact dress comes in. However, if it helps at all, this dress is even prettier in person than it is on the model. In fact, my mom didn't like the dress in the picture, but it was her absolute favorite once I put it on.
Hi,
What is the retail price for this dress allure 8634. Does anyone know? Thanks!
I purchased Allure 8634 for my wedding, but it has not come in yet. I had originally fallen in love with a picture of a Jim Hjelm all lace dress with a vneck that was outside my budget, so I decided to recreate it. Instead of the brooch on the sash, I'm replacing it with a sash of my own that ties in my back (and coordinates with my bridesmaids)... here's a picture from the sample... I love it!!
The retail price of this dress is in the neighborhood of $1,200 (much better than the $3,500 jim hjelm dress i originally fell in love with :)
Not sure if the bride in this album is wearing it, but it looks similar.

I ended up buying a different Allure dress (8601) but I tried it too... and loved it! It was a super tough call between the two. :)
I am considering getting this dress, too (in ivory). It's so beautiful and so flattering. I would love to see pictures of brides who have worn or tried on this dress. I'm worried about the straps being itchy -- they were a tiny bit bothersome when I tried the dress on. Did anyone else have this problem?
I wore the 8634, and have it for sale on OnceWed if anyone is interested.
The straps weren't bothersome, but since I have a larger chest...I was a little worried about things popping out. I opted NOT to get the modesty panel, but in hindsight, probably should've.
Hi. Anyone here that has bought this dress willing to sell anytime this year? I am in tears about my dress choice I made and regret it badly. THIS is my dream dress and now I can't afford to buy it new. PLEASE contact me if anyone is looking to sell at some point this year. Thanks.
@love2teach2010: hi! will you be selling your wedding dress at any point this year??
Here are pictures from my wedding wearing allure 8634... per my post above, I altered by adding a chocolate sash. Worked out great!
Hi! I wanted to try to open this discussion again to see if anyone else recently has worn this dress as I am considering getting it myself. Real pictures definitely help! :) I'd love to see more if anyone has them.
I'm thinking about this dress too. Anybody know the cheapest place to purchase from? Thanks.
I am wearing this dress for my wedding in October. I chose the one with the gold underlay. I also think it is much pretty in person. I LOVE it! The only picture I have is when I tried it on in the store for the first time. It is not a great picture, but may help you. If I have someone to take a new picture of it on, I will send a new one. I do not think the lace is itchy at all. I will need to get the straps shortened being that I do not fill it out. 
I AM SELLING THIS DRESS! SIZE 8. NEVER WORN. BOUGHT IT IN THE WRONG SIZE. IT HAS BEEN TRIED ON A COUPLE OF TIMES. I need to sell it immediately so I can buy another dress before my June wedding. This dress is also a two-part dress so you can where it long to the ceremony and short for the reception. If you are interested in buying it, please contact me at Abigail.C.Robertson@gmail.com. Make an offer!
I loved loved loved my Allure 8634. I'm actually selling it too if anyone is interested:

Thanks! :)
Is anyone selling this in the ivory/gold combo? I'm a street sz 2 or 4. Thanks ladies!
I purchased my dress over Labor Day weekend. It needs some alterations, but here are a couple pictures my mother took with her phone...
@JaimeClaire- I love how your dress wasn't too low cut. I adore this dress but have D cups and am not looking to be boobalicous at my wedding. Did you have it altered? Thanks!
@TheBakerChick: Ihad my altered so it was not so "boobie" In some pictures it is still a little too much but for the most part it was fine. I had the alterations lady just bring it together in the middle.
I just ordered this dress a couple of weeks ago and am curious what you ladies wore in terms of "support"? I'm a D cup, and am worried about a bra. I wore a slimming strapless bra during the appointment, but you could see it when trying to dress on. If you had cups sewn in, was that enough?
@starfish0116: I am curious about that as well. When I tried my dress on the consultant recommended I not wear a bra since "the girls" would support themselves. I am starting to think I want some kind of cup with a little padding just to round out the top so I don't appear flat.
Oh how I loved (and still love) this dress. Unfortunately, I did not end up loving it on me quite as much.
(I'm not the biggest fan of sparkles - hence the flower belt. I was trying to get an idea of how I felt without focusing only on what I knew I didn't want.)
Even though I knew the dress would fit me a bit better once it was in my size (the sample was at least 4-6 sizes too big), I just couldn't imagine the chest area not swallowing me up. Not sure if you can tell in this photo, but I'm pretty tiny up top.
The back did make me realize that I needed to incorporate straps (preferably lace) into my dress hunt. Until then, all I'd tried on were strapless.
You all look absolutely gorgeous in the photos above! I'm so happy this dress was the one for so many of you. It's too amazing not to be worn :)
This is my dress! It just arrived and I tried it on yesterday.
Ladies that have worn it- what did you do about the stiffness/itchiness of the lace? The sample was so much softer!
Also- I was a bit crushed to see the bright rhinestoney belt that looked so much more antique-y on the sample. I'm looking for a vintage style one from Etsy to replace it with.
Here are some pictures from my "Try on" yesterday. The pictures are bad and the dress obviously needs alterations :)

I just ordered this dress today and am totally unsure if I should order the gold or the ivory! I tried the dress on in gold and loved it. Just thought the ivory would be more 'bridal' and versatile, but now I'm second-guessing myself. We are having a vintage/farm wedding. Help! Any suggestions? What did most of you think of the ivory or the gold? Did any of you get the gold? Thanks!!
@LindsayN: I ordered it in gold. Funny enough, when my friend pulled it and brought it into the fitting room I immediately looked at my BFF (who was helping me get dressed) and said "ugh, we'd definitely have to get it in a different color". I put in off, went out to the pedestal and the entire bridal salon stopped and the whole place went quiet. Everyone agreed the color was stunning. I saw the dress in white/ivory (another bride ordered it, and they showed me hers) and while it was pretty, I really loved the gold.
I actually went to lunch, and came back to try it on again before I ordered it. When I tried it on again, every person in the salon made it a point to stop and tell me how amazing that dress was!
@starfish0116: Thanks for getting back to me on your experience! I ended up ordering the ivory and sticking with it. I think I would have been equally happy with the gold - I went back and forth with it so long but decided in the end to stick with the ivory. Haha it was agonizing trying to decide! Good luck wtih your wedding and if you have a chance to post pictures of the dress on the big day I would totally love to see it!
This is my dress! I love it! i had the neckline raised 3 inches cause I didnt want to show too much cleavage.
@starfish0116: im a DD and I went to Nordstrom and found a corset bra there. Go there. It wasn't expensive at all. Its low enough in the back and gives plenty of support.
Is anyone looking to sell their allure 8634 now? Or before Septemberish? I would need a small size, 6 I think, the 8 was still pretty roomy. I love love love this dress, but I'm trying to save a little extra out of my dress budget to add to my photog budget!
Well I was going to post pictures from when I tried it on, but apparently I can't from my phone? Oh well.
Is anyone looking to sell their Allure 8634 in ivory now? Would take a size 6 or 8 (due to chest size) please let me know- am desperate! Wedding is this June and am 2nd guessing my first dress choice :(
I found one!! I'll put my pictures up soon as I get to try it on, I've been working too much the last couple days to try it yet. :)
If anyone is looking to purchage this dress, I have one in a size 8 that I will wear at my wedding in August and want to sell quick for a decent price. The color is ivory. Please let me know if you're interested!
@TheBakerChick: I have the same dress, I just had my first fitting and I am actually having the train removed so my seamstress has lace to work with and help so its not so low cut while keeping the v-neck i loved. I bought a long line bra and when i wore it at the fitting it pushed everything up WAY too much. Once I took it off and wore the dress with just cups pinned in it was sooooo much better! If you find a solution to the stiff lace let me know, I noticed the same thing!
