The Dress

I am selling a beautiful “Anya” dress and “Genevieve” skirt overlay from “KWH by Karen Willis Holmes”. This look really appealed to me as it wasn’t too fussy or traditional but was still undeniably special. The skirt overlay draped over the dress is such a unique ceremony look, and removing the skirt for the reception and letting the sequins shine is the perfect party dress.

Purchased everything in December 2017 and worn once in March 2018.

I am typically a US size 2-4 (B-cup) and opted to get the size 4 dress. I am 5’3” and wore 2 in heels with the dress.

I spent about $2700 USD on the dress and overlay, and $995 USD on alterations. The drycleaning cost $250. I’m listing both for $1100 USD in the hope that another bride can show the dress a good time! Offers are welcome.

The following alterations have been made to the dress:
- shortened the straps;
- took the dress in slightly;
- lowered the back;
- inserted cups into the bust (meaning I didn’t have to wear a strapless bra!)
- shortened the length at the front and slightly tailored the train; and
- added a bustle (but this will need to be redone as it did not survive my dancing).

They also tweaked the length of the skirt overlay and veil to ensure that everything worked together beautifully.

The dress and overlay have been drycleaned. There was no soiling or damage to the dress but there were some pulls in the skirt overlay (although I doubt that these would be apparent when worn).
