This gorgeous beauty is an Allure Bridals style 3114 A-line dress in ivory which I purchased new.
It’s size 18 and fits like a size 14-16 on top and 10-12 at the waist.
But wait… there’s more! It comes with a crinoline underskirt for added volume for free!

me:
- I’m a UX Designer who got married on February 29, 2020 to the man of my dreams in Puerto Rico before COVID-19 hit
- I love the idea of sustainability and paying it forward to another bride… what the heck am I gonna do with this beauty just sitting in my closet? I would love it if someone else could enjoy it.
- I’m 5’6” and the dress was hemmed to this height + 2.5” to make room for heels.
Features of the gorgeous dress:
- Halter top: This beautiful dress features a halter style top with a plunge underneath a layer of lace and beading. It works very well for larger-chested gals like me… it holds everything in, and you’ll be snatched!!!
- Details: The top features beautiful high-quality lace, crystal beading, and pearls. You can tell that Allure pays attention to the details. It’s gorgeous!
- Lace: The skirt of the dress is hemmed with eyelash lace and it also features a layer of lace underneath several layers of tulle. The layering effect is subtle from afar, and absolutely stunning in person.
- Train: The dress has a medium-sized train which is a layer of tulle. Due to the wind at my wedding, it’s hard to see in the photos I uploaded so it’s more visible on their web site:
- Satin belt: The dress comes with a satin belt. You may add your own crystal belt as I have done.
- Works for winter or summer weddings: The models on the Allure site style this dress for a winter wedding, and you could style it with a fur stole. However, the sleeveless design worked well for me at my very tropical wedding in Puerto Rico.
- Not scratchy: Beading and lace can often be scratchy, and I was worried about that initially. However, I found that this dress wasn’t scratchy. I wore body powder to prevent any scratchiness on top and it worked very well (I recommend Bonny Bubbles on Etsy:
- Very comfy – built for dancing: I danced the night away in this bad girl and you can really move around in it. I even had a reception dress I never changed into because I just loved it so much!
- Recommended styling: The halter top is not too high, which means you can wear a short necklace, but I styled it with dangle earrings and no necklace.
- Includes bustle: You'll save money on alterations as it already has a bustle. If you’re a similar height and build you may be able to save even more!
- Includes underskirt: Includes a crinoline underskirt for added volume if you opt to wear it.
Excellent condition:
- No spills or stains
- No issues – in impeccable condition
- Has been professionally cleaned
- Comes in a sealed garment bag and plastic protection
- Boxed nicely for you
- Free underskirt for additional volume
Please help free her from solitary confinement in my closet (she doesn't deserve it)!
