About the Dress

The Passion, by the Italian-Canadian stylist Ines Di Santo, is a crepe sheath wedding dress with an invisible mesh bodice and hand-placed delicate lace detailing, creating a romantic and timeless look. The flowing skirt with the elegant train creates a remarkable effect as you walk down the aisle. The back of the dress features a sheer illusion panel, showcasing your back while adding a touch of glamour to the overall design. Ines di Santo Passion dress was the first one I tried on and the one I fell in love with, regardless of the dozen other dresses I evaluated. It exuded confidence, beauty, and grace and represented an impeccable choice for a magical wedding in a historical villa by the lake in Italy.

The dress is in excellent condition.
It was professionally cleaned just a few days after the wedding (held on Sept 3rd, 2022) to remove any dirt or stains and has been preserved ever since under a vacuum-sealed bag to save space and prevent any damage. I have kept it in my closet - cool and dry place, away from sunlight and heat.

Alterations

I made minimal alterations, as the dress fit almost perfectly. I added bra pad inserts to support my breast throughout the day, giving me confidence while taking pictures and dancing. It has a small pin in the inner side of the dress for the bustle, which I ended up not using. It is cut for 5’9”. My measurements were (inches): Bust = 33, Waist = 24, Hip = 38.
