BRAND NEW BESPOKE KAREN WILLIS HOLMES WEDDING GOWN!
UNWORN. UNALTERED. STILL IN STANDARD SIZE 10 READY TO BE CUSTOMISED TO YOUR OWN BODY.
Genevieve Lace Wrap Wedding Dress with Jersey Slip - Size 10 - Ivory Colour. Vintage/Rustic relaxed style.
I am unable to wear this dress due to pregnancy so am selling it brand new. I picked it up freshly sewn from Karen Willis Holmes (made in Australia) Aug 20th 2014. I had no customisations made to it so it is still in their standard sample size 10.
The standard measurements Karen Willis Holmes uses for size 10 Bespoke gowns are:
Bust 90cm.
Bra Cup size C.
Waist 70cm.
Hips 99cm.
Back neck to waist 42cm.
And my lace overlay was ordered in a 'Waist to hem' length of 116cm.
I am 173cm tall and weighed 58kg at the time of photos 2 & 3 (trying dress on in store in size 10) for reference.
Genevieve is a corded lace wrap overlay with centre front opening and cap sleeves. It has an inside waist tie and a satin belt (with moveable button to adjust fit - so very versatile, does not need to be an exact fit as long as you are roughly size 10). It has a small train with an applique lace trim meaning hemming is very easy for any dress-maker apparently (just unpick the applique trim, cut hem to length and re-attach trim).
The Genevieve lace wrap dress cost $2,990.
The under-garment is the Karen Willis Holmes Jersey Slip in Ivory, size Small (10). This also has a small train at the back, spaghetti straps, a deep V in the front and slight V in the back. The jersey slip is also very easy for any dressmaker to hem apparently - it should be hemmed slightly shorter than the lace train to see the beautiful effect of the lace trim at the bottom of the train.
The Jersey slip cost $550.
