About the Dress

Beautiful Karen Willis Holmes Karina dress made of stretch ivory lace, a very flattering fit with long lace sleeves, low back and features a stunning train which can be bustled.

Due to the stretch fabric, it fits beautifully and was also comfortable to wear even on top of the mountains in Queenstown. Comes with a fine waist tie and gold clasp closure which you can wear at the front or back of your gown.

I bought the dress here at Still White in 2021, the previous owner purchased it from one of the KWH stores in Australia and had no alterations made. I had it taken in slightly - mainly around the waist and had it hemmed (see measurements provided). Our wedding was in October 2021 and the dress was professionally dry cleaned right after.

The dress is in very good condition, although there is a very slight bit of staining on the front from the stems of my flowers. The dry cleaners have gotten most of it out and you can hardly see it unless you really look for it. The little gold clasp on the waist tie is starting to look tarnished. The last photo shows both of these flaws.

I loved wearing this dress and it's simply too beautiful to just sit in my wardrobe any longer, it deserves another big day!

Alterations

Taken in around waist / hips, attached loops to keep should straps from falling over shoulders and hemmed
