Beautiful Sparkling Strapless Fit and Flare Wedding Dress
This dress was perfect for our outdoor chapel wedding. I loved the way it accentuated my curves and was still flowy and romantic. The beaded appliques are pretty and caught the candlelight really nicely.
I also found it comfortable to wear- I had freedom of movement to walk around. Beyond that, the corset back was great. I have a bigger bust and it was snug and kept in place all day.
Alterations: the dress was shortened for me- I am 5'4 and wore 4-inch heels.
Cleaning: I wore the dress outdoors at various points throughout the day although dry cleaning has removed the dust from the underside of the satin underlay on the train. I got a few pieces of moss stuck in the lace somehow (??) but those have been carefully removed by hand.
Condition: This is not something I could capture in the photos but in a couple of places the lace rubbed against itself and if you look hard it looks a bit softer than in other places. Not frayed or loose or anything, just softer. Otherwise, it is in nearly new condition.
From the Designer: Heavy lace over satin in a mermaid silhouette, Allanah evokes the days of old-world Hollywood glamor. The strikingly draped bodice and gathered skirt are accentuated with hand-beaded appliqués. A corset back completes the look.
