The Dress

Karen Willis Holmes, Seraphina, Wild Hearts Collection

RRP dress: $2,740
Veil is FREE with purchase with a RRP: $250

This Seraphina gown is from Karen Willis Holmes 2018 Wild Hearts Collection. The collection is wildly romantic, flattering and offers a relaxed yet fully tailored fit for a sophisticated, timeless and modern look.

Personally, I loved wearing this dress as it was so flattering and fitted yet so comfortable. The design of the dress is classic yet modern, a choice I knew I wouldn’t regret in the future. It has a fitted bra cup bodice, highlighted with mesh and bodice style stretch lace. Finished with a fine belt and a gold clasp closure.

I wore this as a strapless gown but it can be worn with delicate spaghetti straps. I paired the dress with Karen Willis Holmes single layer cathedral veil.

Alterations – Added bustle and finger hold. Boning has been shortened. Dress has been hemmed. The fine belt has been sewed into the dress to prevent the belt from moving. Waist has been altered to be smaller – this can be unaltered however. I’m usually a size 6-8 in clothes and the dress can be unaltered to fit approximately a size 10.

Dress has been professionally cleaned.

My measurements: Height (top of sternum to hem of dress) – 141.5cm. Bust – 79.5cm. Waist – 67.5cm. Hips – 94.5cm. Size A bra cup. I wore a stick-on bra on the day.

Shoe height worn with dress: 11cm heel

Dress will be at 2 locations. My house in Terrigal, Central Coast NSW and my sister’s apartment in North Sydney.

Please contact me if you would like to see more photos or if you have any further questions. I love my dress so much and had so many compliments on the day. It will be sad to part ways with it, but I would love to give the dress new life and provide a beautiful, affordable dress to a new bride 😊
