The Dress

Purchased in San Francisco at Bridal Galleria. Ordered it fall of last year and received the dress in February for my wedding in June 2023.

I still have the original Ines di Santo tag and the extra beading that it came with as well.

Professionally dry-cleaned from Elegance Preserved (they did a great job and the dress is like new)!

My Measurements:
Bust: 29"
Waist: 24.25"
Upper Hip: 30"
Lower Hip: 36"

Ines di Santo Standard Dress Sizing (Size 4):
Bust: 32"
Under Bust: 28"
Waist: 24"
Upper Hip: 32
Lower Hip: 36"

Minimal alterations were needed as the dress was a near-perfect fit from the start. The top of the dress is kept the same (except I added padding to fill the cups and shortened the straps). The bottom is kept the same, except shortened the hem of the dress by bringing the lace up.

Please let me know if you have any questions or request any additional information! This is a truly remarkable dress, and I hope it brings as much joy to the next wearer as it did to me!

Alterations

- Shortened Spaghetti Straps: Slightly shortened for a comfortable fit.
- Shortened Front of Dress: raised the lace and sewn it back to the dress, to ensure the scalloped hem design remained the same.
- Added Padding for Bust: can be removed if preferred
- Added Bustle for the back train with three points.
