About the Dress

A bespoke wedding dress from the Valentini Spose x Mark Ingram collection purchased from The Wedding Gallery in 2020.

It was the design of one dress - Mark Ingram I0032 - made in the fabric of another of Valentini’s dresses - Valentini Couture x J’aton V1106 - however it was made too short for me, which is the reason for sale. I am 5ft6 and this is the right length with no shoes. So with shoes the bride would need to measure no more than 5ft7 in height. There is room at the waist to bring the length down by approximately one inch with a seamstress. This dress is new with tags, in its original garment bag and with no alterations. The line around the sheer part of the neck is to keep the mesh in tact before the big day and this is then removed to create the illusion of appliqué florals on skin.

Beautiful floral appliqué fabric with shimmering metallic thread and iridescent sequins. Hand made in Italy.

Brand new with tags. Size IT 48. Which is a
UK 16. However this is more like a size 14 in this brand. Would fit sizes 12-14.

Valentini Spose, an Italian collective of designer bridal collections founded and operated by the Valentini family of Puglia has partnered with American bridal and eveningwear retailer Mark Ingram to produce Mr.Ingram’s first personally designed capsule collection of high end bridal gowns.
Inspired by the needs of the chic, international and fashion forward brides he sees in his Atelier, Mr. Ingram focused his designs on his favorite rich fabrications and classic silhouettes. The gowns are light of hand, floral inspired and very textural, all favorite details of Mr. Ingram’s.
