I had a vision of my wedding dress that I had imagined since I was a little girl. But when I went shopping I couldn’t find anything that matched my imagination. So I went to Karen Willis Holmes and had my dress custom made from their DYG (design your gown) collection. And it was perfect! I had the most amazing day in my dress and couldn’t have pictured it any better.

The dress was made to fit but I have a pretty standard size I think. I wear a standard size 10 usually and have a cup size of C to D. The bodice is one of the last Gerry bodies that KWH made (this lace has been discontinued now) and has a bit of a modern edge. I had tuell cap sleeves added, but these could be removed easily. The skirt is stunning! 6 layers including tuell and silk. It comes with a thin satin belt that ties in a bow at the back. I’m 5’5 but I wore very high heels in this dress and the hem was cut to fit my height in the heels.

The dress has been professional hand cleaned by Sydnal dryclear at a value of $780 and is stored in a preservation bag for safe keeping.

I hope someone will love this dress as much as I did!
