Karen Willis Holmes, Lou Lou & Gianna

Worn once for my April 2025 wedding. Fits size 10-14. Purchased new for $4500 + $700 in alterations to remove zip and add a corset.

Try ons welcome, I’m based in the St Leonards/Crows Nest area, Sydney.

I ordered this dress in Nov 2024, just before finding out I was pregnant. When I picked it up in Feb 2025, it didn’t fit my growing body. I worked with seamstress, Tanja from MATIKA Coutore in Castle Hill, who is an ex-KWH employee and knows the fabrics and dresses very well. She took the zip out of the back and replaced this with a corset. Originally a size 10 dress, it can be comfortably loosened to fit size 14.

I am 169cm and wore mid-height heels.

I was almost 6 months pregnant on the day and the structure of the bodice with placement of the waistline complimented my little bump so well! It was very easy to hide, and easy to show the bump (with a hand on my belly) when I wanted. It was my dream dress, it took the stress and guess-work out of the equation, and was perfect for my growing body.

I hope someone loves wearing it as much as I did! I also have a gorgeous pearl veil ($350 new from MATIKA Coutore and worn for about 20mins) that can be included for the right price.
