Help! Looking for similar Ines Di Santo dress!

Hi Ladies~

I'm searching for a certain dress...I tried on an Ines Di Santo TIANNA dress and fell in love with it! But it's wayyyyy over my budget. I originally fell in love with the VERONICA dress by the same designer. Does anyone know who would make similar silhouettes as these, bt much MUCH cheaper?

I love the silk tafetta, fitted dropped waist, ruching, sweetheart and full bottom! :)

Re: Help! Looking for similar Ines Di Santo dress!

what I did was start looking on different designers websites to find similar styles.. try maggie sottero, she has a big selection! good luck!

Hey there.

I'm sorry I can't help you with your question. But I am in love with an Ines Di Santo dress as well, and it's more than I planned on spending. I also love the silk taffeta, I love the rouching, and how many of them are form fitted and flare out at the bottom. I'm going to try to negotiate as much as I can at Bridal Reflections.
I'm also always checking on www.preowneddresses.com. You should check it out, they have a number of Ines dresses up currently for around half the price they were bought.

Thanks for the suggestions ^^ still new to the forum so not sure if I'm replying yet and don't know how to italicize the chat Im replying too hehe.. I tried looking in the maggie sottero dresses, but no luck yet :(

Maggie Sottero dresses seem to either be a full ballgown or a trumpet, but nothing in between like Ines Di Santo gowns...but they are all beautiful as well!! :)

Hi girls!

Thank you for your suggestions! Greatly appreciate it! But dont know how to reply to individual replies just yet..hehe if you could let me know, I'd appreciate it! haha

CAPRICA6: Still looking at MS dresses though! :) Thank you

QUIRKYBRIDE:I tried looking at preownedweddingdresses.com, but don't seem to have similar ones. I found a nice trumpet on that site, but when they sent me recent photos, it did not look nice. :(

I'm so jealous you have the wedding budget even close to get that dress!! Please post pix if you do get it, I'm sure you will be one of the lucky brides to look stunning in it! :)

FUTUREMRSLOTS: Thank you, still looking ^^

MOONMIST09: It's 8 and change...I almost fainted at the price, but that was after I almost cried after trying it on! haha

Re: Help! Looking for similar Ines Di Santo dress!

I tried on and love the 'Susanna' Ines dress at bridal reflections in carl place. It's a mermaid, silk tafetta that poofs out at the bottom. I was told its 3995 but 'negotiable'. I'm positive I can get 10 percent off at a trunk show, I'm pretty sure I can get 15 because I know someone else did off this designer at this store, and my mom is going to try for more. I don't know if she'll get it, but it's worth asking, they can only say no.
I will definitely sell my dress after my wedding.
In the mean time I'm going to keep looking and see if I love anything less expensive.

Re: Help! Looking for similar Ines Di Santo dress!

Haha as soon as you said 'selling dress' after wedding, I glanced over to your date! haha...oh man...

Yea, that dress is really something too! All her dresses are just gorgeous...just outrageously priced. That day, the woman told me they actually sold one TIANNA dress that morning! Imagine, I hope I can see it! Even if it's not on me. :)
