About the Dress

This Fontanne by Karen Willis Holmes is the dress of my dreams, and I’m excited to find it a new home. The moment I slipped into this exquisite sheath gown, I knew it was meant to be. Crafted in a classic ivory hue, the dress beautifully compliments any radiant bride. The V-neckline and sleeveless design create a flattering silhouette, allowing for a graceful movement that feels effortlessly elegant.

The intricate beading and sequins catch the light in all the right ways, adding just the right touch of sparkle without overwhelming the gown's timeless charm. The V-back detail not only enhances its sophistication but also offers a touch of allure, making it perfect for both the ceremony and the dance floor.

Worn once on my special day, this size 8 dress remains in good condition with only minor fraying of material on the hem where I wore it outside. Once you put the lining underneath you can hardly notice (shown in photo 4). The dress has been hand washed with great care as I was too afraid to dry clean it with all the beading, however this could definitely be done at a bridal specialist dry cleaner if you wish.

The dress was not altered in any way except for the hem length. I am 160cm tall and wore 10cm heels. The dress is stretchy and so comfortable, I had a baby 10 months prior to my wedding and felt very comfortable in the stretch fabric. Would fit a size 8-10. A bustle was also added at the back for easier dancing.

The dress comes with a detachable belt that can be worn or left out.

I am happy for you try on if you are in the Perth area.

If you’re looking for a gown that encapsulates both grace and modern chic, this is it. I’m hoping it finds a bride as excited as I was to wear it. Let this stunning Fontanne be part of someone else’s unforgettable love story.
