Kelly dress by Karen Willis Holmes with Peplum belt.

I chose this dress for my wedding day because it is timeless and beautifully simple. The structure and quality of the dress absolutely speak for themselves without needing extra sparkles or lace. The peplum belt was a super fun addition and just felt very glamorous while conveniently hiding any eating related bloat throughout the day!

The dress was extremely comfortable and stayed looking very fresh throughout the day (no annoying wrinkles that you will hate in all of your photos)! The fabric is called silk twill. It's thick with a bit of sheen but not shiny. It is a size 8 bodice with bust enhancers (woo woo!), size 8 waist and size 9 hips. I am 5ft 6, and a pretty standard shape with a bit of booty.

I had a lot of fun in my dress, so there are some marks on the bottom of the train, but mostly on the inside. I was so keen to buy a second hand dress for my wedding, but unfortunately couldn't find anything like this at the time. If I were you, I would have definitely bought it.

Some testimonies of how great the dress is:

I'm a harsh critic, and I always tell brides that I love their dress… but SERIOUSLY, this is actually the best dress I have ever seen.
-female friend with great taste

I JUST LOVE IT -everyone

It is just extremely flattering -mum, who always knows when my bod is looking its best in a dress

This is just the most beautiful dress because of its simplicity -nice lady who did my fitting at KWH HQ

Let me know if you have any more questions, I'm happy to have a chat and show you the dress! Obvs flexible on the price.
