The Dress

****PRICE REDUCED****
Stunning KWH by Karen Willis Holmes 'Aster' gown, this dress made me feel like a Rock Star! With a full sequin overlay, you'll shine like a diamond on your special day.
Incredibly comfortable all day and night, and no irritation from the beading underarms.

Elegant with a sexy flattering fit, The cut of this dress holds you in and makes your curves look amazing!

A sleeveless gown made from bias cut silk satin lining with a completely sequin embroidered overlay. The dress has a V-neckline and V-back.
The dress was purchased from Karen Willis Holmes in Paddington Sydney, and altered by their magicians at their head office in Newtown.
Details of the alterations below.

It also comes with a matching embroidered/beaded belt with chiffon ties.
The georgette train is absolutely stunning and perfect for Australia's warmer climate.
I found a lot of the beaded dresses too heavy and hot, but this one felt light and breezy when on.

The gown has been hemmed for my height of 170cm with a mid heel. I am a DD - E cup and wore a regular bra with this dress. The dress would be fine for a C-E cup, possibly fuller bust.


The dress fit beautifully and gave a gorgeous, streamlined silhouette. There is a medium sized train at the back made up of the sequin overlay with a strip of Georgette silk in the centre. A hook and eye has been added to hitch the train up when dancing.

The dress has been dry-cleaned by be best, Bridal Silver Service. (Additional $1,100 including repair)
Reinforcements completed on the bustle hook which tore on the evening, its good to go and better than original.
All repairs completed with beading and fabric sourced from KWH to match the dress perfectly.


Size 12 but will fit 12/14 depending on your shape.
Completed the following alterations: - shortened slightly to suit my height of 17O cm with a mid-heel - arm holes widened, shoulder straps lifted, I have included additional photos of this.
Any regular 12 or 14 Lady would need that alteration (saving you another $500 in alterations)
Small of back taken in slightly, but the belt and bias cut help this dress wrap to your shape.
Bustle hook attached.

Original dress $2650
Alterations $500
Reinforcements to bustle hook $200
Total:
$3250
Try on any Size 12 beaded dress at KWH with this cut for size.

Alterations Per above, special care taken with dry cleaning and repairs.
Front of the dress is perfect.
Some discolouration on the back of The train - as it's a long train you could easily hem 5cms off and remove the marks - my repairer has quoted $150 to do this and the price reflects that.
A few sequins around the bottom coming a little loose - photos provided, and underarm has the tiniest bit of discolouring but you can only see if you are looking for it.
Have photos of this and can send them through. I've maxed out the 8 photos limit.

This is a great value, absolutely gorgeous dress!
