The Dress

This beautiful Valeria gown was part of Karen Willis Holmes "Luxe" collection and is now archived and no longer available to purchase.

It's a stunning combination of simplicity and detail, with a more generous fit than the other cuts in the collection. The internal silk skirt skims the legs while the tulle layer falls loosely and delicately over the top. It fits snugly but doesn't cling.

The dress has been dry cleaned and stored in a pet and smoke free home. There is some slight evidence of wear internally (where the skirt skimmed the ground) but it is not visible when worn.

It has been priced competitively as I purchased it from another Still White seller (who bought it new from the Karen Willis Holmes Armadale store and wore it on her wedding day). I ended up wearing another option on my own wedding day and have kept the dress in perfect condition while it waits for its second life on someone else's special day.

Please note that some of the advertised photos on the Karen Willis Holmes site include an additional tulle overlay which does not come with the dress.

Alterations

The dress was hemmed to suit a height of 170cm (with heels)
The tulle layer of the dress was taken up slightly (to sit closer to the silk under layer)
A bustle was added (however the dress moves well with it down and won't catch)
The shoulders and chest were taken in and cups sewn into the bust, would fit a size 8 top with B-C cup size.
