The Dress

This gorgeous Karen Willis Holmes lace dress is a bespoke design, featuring the 'Kitty' bodice & 'Prea' skirt.

I'm usually very self conscious, but this dress made me feel like Wonder Woman! A great design for anyone who loves that classic Hollywood look. A bold red lip at my reception took this look to the next level.

I got so many compliments on the day & after about how lovely & flattering it was.

Features a strapless sweetheart neckline with a panelled, loose fishtail, which extends to a flowing train (+ bustle for the late night dancing!). The corset is heavily boned and covered with buttons on the back bodice of the gown. I customised this dress with a statement embellished Karen Willis Holmes Art Deco belt (belt not included, sorry), although the dress is equally stunning plain. There is a slight dip in the back which creates an effortlessly sophisticated look. Also, it bustles beautifully!

The fabric is Heavy Twill, fully lined 100% polyester satin lining which is extremely comfortable to wear and gives off a shimmer in the light.

The dress was purchased as a size 16 but some alterations were made to the dress by a highly regarded professional seamstress.

This dress exceeded my expectations. It was incredibly flattering, yet very comfortable to wear.

The dress has been professionally dry-cleaned and is in excellent condition.

Alterations:
Dress has been taken up at the hem, in at the waist & bust to suit a short, curvy hourglass figure.
I am 159cm tall and wore approx. 8cm heels, dress sat floor length with these heels, so there's still plenty of length for someone a bit taller.
There are no cups in the bust of the dress, so would suit most bust sizes.
I am a street size 14-16.
There is a small rip in the zipper which can be easily repaired. Dress otherwise in immaculate condition!

Happy for try-ons!
