The Dress

The beautiful Lottie dress by Karen Willis Holmes + detachable customised cape veils!

This dress was an absolute dream to wear and shone so beautifully in the sun due to all of the incredible bead works and really matched by relaxed beach wedding in beautiful Thailand. The Lottie is more of an ivory/cream colour and the beadings on my dress near the top is more of a yellowy colour which adds a really vintage dreamy look to the dress. I have quite big hips and thighs but the dress hugged my body really beautifully and accentuates my shape.

I paired this dress with the detachable Diamond train (NOT INCLUDED AS IT HAS ALREADY SOLD SEPARATELY) and also had two very thin veils attached to the very thin strap (my tailor is a magician!) for a more dramatic effect when I walk, especially because of the sea breeze. The veil is included in the price. While heavy to hold, the Lottie is actually incredibly comfortable to wear and I can move very easily in it. I got so many compliments on the day and I know that this dress will make another beautiful lady feel really special on her wedding day.

PLEASE NOTE: the dress has been in the box for over 4 years so will need a clean to refresh. There is a piece on the dress where unfortunately sequins have fallen off. I do have extra sequins left over from shortening the dress to replace and I think it should be an easy fix! Price has been reduced due to this!

FIT WISE: I am petite, only 157cm tall with small chest (10C), a small waist but big bum and thighs. I wore 11cm heels on the day and I did have to hold the dress up just a little bit to walk quickly/take big strides.

RRP of dress: $2,800
Cape Veils: $300
Alterations costs: $700
