The Dress

My gown is ‘Aster’ from Karen Willis Holmes. It is a floor length sequined gown with a v-neckline and v-back. It is a beautiful, elegant mix of modern and classic. The hand sewn sequins are truly stunning. They shimmer and change with the light.

This dress complimented my curves beautifully and was very comfortable to wear. There is no internal boning or bodice so it moulds to your shape and moves with you. I could dance, breathe and eat easily! There was no scratching on my arms from the sequins either.

I also have a hand sewn crystal sash from Bride La Boheme (style AO4) which I didn’t end up wearing as I changed my mind on the day. It’s a stunning ivory satin with various size crystals and beads. It cost $196, I’m happy to sell it for an additional $50.

This stunning dress was purchased from Karen Willis Holmes in Paddington for $2700 plus additional for alterations and the bustle. I adored this dress and I'll be sad to see it go, but I'd love for it to be worn again rather than sitting in my closet.

If you would like additional information or photos please do not hesitate to contact me.


Size 14 altered down to fit a size 10-12 with a DD bust. I’m 157cm tall and I wore 5cm heels, so the dress has been hemmed to rest on the floor for someone my height. I also needed the shoulders taken up. The dress will adjust to your shape as there is no internal bodice or boning, so it will likely fit someone slightly taller as well especially if they are slimmer than I am.

The gown was worn once in 2016 and has since been professionally dry cleaned by Leon’s Fine Dry Cleaning ($440) and remains in the bag they provided. They also mended a small hole in the silk chiffon under the bustle. It is barely noticeable due to the way the back of the dress sits, I can provide further photos of this if requested. Please note that the sequins are hand sewn, so some of these have loosened slightly although it is only with very close inspection that this is noticeable.
