The Dress

KWH by Karen Willis Holmes 'Aster' gown.

My main goal when selecting a dress was that it was comfortable and not restrictive in any way - the Aster was this and SO much more! It breaks my heart to sell it but would rather another gorgeous bride have the joy of wearing this perfect dress than have it sitting in storage.

Made from stretch bias cut silk satin lining with a sequined silk georgette overlay. The sequins have been sewn in a pretty chevron pattern giving it a unique look. The dress has a v-neck and v-back with a flowing georgette train. The dress was purchased from the lovely girls at Karen Willis Holmes in Paddington Sydney for my October 2016 wedding, and altered by their seamstresses at their head office in Newtown.

The dress is a size 14 but would also easily fit a size 12 due to the type of fabric & cut of the dress. I am a DD cup and wore a regular bra which was hidden so easily under the dress. It has been altered as per the following:
Length taken up to suit my height of 163cm with medium (8cm) height heels
Shoulder straps taken up to make v-neck a little less revealing
Bustle added to train
Bra catches added to shoulders to keep straps hidden

The georgette train has not been touched (apart from bustle added) because I loved the length however if you wanted a shorter train this could easily be done.

The dress fit beautifully and gave a gorgeous, streamlined silhouette. A loop and button have been stitched into the inside layer of the train so that it can be bustled for dancing & walking around.

The dress has been dry-cleaned and has been kept in its KWH bag hanging up to avoid damage to the delicate sequins.

Original dress $2649, alterations $495, bustle hook & bra catches $350 = Total: $3494.

I have plenty more photos and happy to answer any questions you have - just ask!
