The Dress

Ines Di Santo 'Souzan' wedding gown from the Spring 2022 Bridal Collection. It was worn once in an indoor wedding, and is in excellent condition. It has been professionally dry-cleaned and has no stains.

It is a mostly white dress, however it has one pink under-layer of tulle giving it subtle/soft blush undertones. The chest/front of the bodice is lined, and has bust cups attached. The back/shoulders/straps of the dress are 'invisible-tulle' which gives the appearance of a strapless dress with a sweetheart neck-line. The back of the gown has pearl buttons all the way down to the waist, where a bow is attached (which is removable with button closure). The gown has flower applique and beading all across the bodice, lower back, and spreads minimally/delicately down the skirt of the gown. It has a medium length train and a three-point American-style (over) bustle.

Size 16 dress label but it has been altered. I am 5'8", weigh roughly 160 lb, and usually wear size 12 clothing and 34DD bras for reference. Approximate dimensions of the dress:
Waist: 30"
Armhole: 9"
Hollow to hem (shoulder to floor): 62"

This dress made me feel like an absolute princess. It has just the right amount of "poof" and wasn't too heavy. The subtle pink hue was gorgeous (from someone who doesn't even love pink). I loved that it had the look of a strapless dress but had the support of the straps, so I wasn't pulling it up all day. I swirled and shimmied the skirt around all night while I was dancing. It was extremely comfortable, not tight around the belly (no worries with eating and drinking), and didn't constrict my arms while dancing. It did take my husband a bit of time to undo all the buttons at the end of the night.

Waist taken in
