About the Dress

Gorgeous Ines Di Santo 'Libra" dress is a strapless corset ball gown with sheer panels crafted from luxurious Italian Mikado silk. I've only slightly altered it to cover up side sheer panels with the same Mikado silk from shortening bottom of the dress.

It comes with a petticoat to make it a dramatic ball gown during ceremony, and can be taken out for a different look during reception keeping the beautiful train (6 feet long). Train designed to be perfectly bustle up for reception with 5 easy buttons, hiding under peplum design. Will throw in my veil for free (140" basic lace veil that covers entire train).

Once petticoat is taken out, dress is 3 inches longer so I wore flats for ceremony (with petticoat in), 3 inch heels for cocktail hour (petticoat out) and reception (train bustled). This creates 3 very different looks throughout the day, making the dress very versatile and can be worn for the entire wedding day, including the dancing!

Worn for 5 hours on my wedding day for photos, ceremony, and reception, before changing into a separate dress for dancing.

Photos include those on wedding day, online image from Ines Di Santo website (in a different fabric and side panels not covered), and during my first fitting.

Note: I have NOT dry cleaned it but it is in very good condition - if you’d like for me to dry clean it will be a different price.
