About the Dress

This Allure Abella Giselle dress, is a showstopper! I visited her at least 5 times, dreaming about how I could make this dress work for my, "non traditional, casual, beach wedding," and, I realized... if anyone at a wedding gets to be overdressed, it is the bride! I shopped, I researched, I traveled, I tried and tried on, I ordered and sent back... and, after much ado, this was, absolutely THE ONE. The one I felt the most excited about, the one I could hardly wait to see again, the one I felt the most beautiful in!

Featuring a plunging neckline, with illusion tulle (in just the right place), and a backless bodice with delicate straps, Giselle nips in at the waist, and stretched around my biscuits making my butt look great! A very manageable train, has a very easy and simple bustle added. This dress is sheer, lightweight and airy, making the delicate beading and mini sequins seem like fairy dust, lit with the sunset on the beach.

To avoid the extra expense of alterations, my dear friend and dress diva ordered this dress to fit--4" shorter than standard, in a size 4. (Note, I am a perfect triangle. My measurements were a size 2 bust, 4 waist, and a size 6 hips... my alterations wizard added cups (easily removed), and added the bustle. Other than those minor adjustments, she was worn perfectly as ordered.) I am 5' 4 1/2", 130 lbs, and I wore Giselle barefoot on the beach, March 2023.

I LOVE her, and now that she served my purpose, I hope that she can make another bride-to-be feel as fabulous as I did.

Please reach out with any questions!
