Selling my Catalina gown by Karen Willis Holmes.

This dress has a structured A-line silhouette with a long, panelled skirt at the back that gives a subtle princess feel. The front falls more column-style, making it elegant and refined rather than overly full. The front skirt slit adds a modern touch and lets you show off your shoes and a bit of leg.

Boning through to the high hip and the way the fabric is folded to move across the torso shapes the waist beautifully. The mikado fabric holds its structure and photographs incredibly well.

The button detailing down the back is stunning and timeless. I wore it with a cathedral-length veil which complemented the train perfectly. The dress also has a bustel tie to shorten the train which I did before the reception began.

I received so many compliments on this dress. It has been professionally cleaned and preserved and is in excellent condition.

Happy to share measurements or additional photos.
