The Dress

I absolutely loved wearing the Blake Prea dress from the bespoke Karen Willis Holmes collection for our wedding in September 2019. It was beautiful, elegant, simple and comfortable.

It was made in Australia by the KWH team out of high quality silk twill. It was dry cleaned a couple days after our wedding by Leon's Bridal Drycleaners in Brisbane (for an additional $425).

While I would love to keep the gown, it is too beautiful to just sit in my wardrobe and I would love to give another bride an opportunity to wear it and to feel as beautiful as I did on my wedding day.

I am 167cm tall and I think my heels were about 7 or 8cm. I am usually a standard size 6, although I did have the bodice altered slightly to make it tighter (so possibly would fit between a 4-6). I also had the seams on either side of the skirt altered to make it more fitted.

I’m currently overseas but the dress has been stored securely with a family member based in Brisbane. If you would like to try the dress on, please get in touch and I’ll see if I can organise something.

Alterations

Bodice taken in slightly.
Side seams on skirt taken in about 1cm on either side to make the skirt more fitted. Hem and bustle.
