The Dress

I bought this dress new in May 2018 and wore it in July 2018. It’s a beautiful dress, it’s in the current KWH season/range (so you could try on in a store or stockist near you) and it’s in immaculate condition. Bought from Karen Willis Holmes shop in Paddington Brisbane.

The dress can also be viewed on the KWH website via https://www.karenwillisholmes.com/2018-wild-hearts

It’s an AU size 10 and Valencia comes with a couple of options – so note that this is the model WITH the sleeves (these are sewn on but can be removed) and with NO ruching around the back of the hips. Please note the ruching option can be seen in the photo of the back angle of the model.

It’s very comfortable to wear with a slight stretch in the skirt. I received so many compliments on the style (including “it reminds me of Kate Middleton”).

I am 172cm tall and wore 9cm heels.
There is a bustle via a small clear button added so you can dance easily, and a little belt which goes around the waist and fastens with a small gold clasp at the back.

The dress is in perfect condition – there are no signs that it has been worn. This includes the lace of the train which is as new.

The dress has been dry cleaned by a company specialising in wedding gowns and comes in the original KWH white gown bag with hanger.

Alterations

I had five alterations made to the dress by the KWH seamstress in the Brisbane boutique:
1) hemming done
2) bra cups sewn in (these are not visible, entirely under the lining)
3) sleeves modified to be straight at the wrist which I felt made the dress a little more timeless
4) KWH “modesty panel” in chiffon at the neckline – this reduces the V neckline by 1cm (this is shown in the photos and could be removed if you desired a lower plunge)
5) Shoulders taken up by 1cm each side to reduce the length of the bodice slightly. I would say I am average or even slightly longer than average in the torso for my height but still found the KWH bodices in most of their styles on the long side for me.
