Wedding Dress
 
Name: Rylie
Designer: Karen Willis Holmes
Size: 14
Colour: Ivory
Purchased: June 2019
RRP: $2890
Alterations: $600
 
The Rylie gown features a v-neckline and fitted shape with gorgeous modern floral inspired lace all over.
Stretch fit with centre back zip closure and fully lined with stretch lining. I am generally a size 12 but due to a bigger bust I went with a size 14 and it was perfect. I also did not wear a bra.
Comes with a fine belt featuring a little gold clasp closure which I wore at the front of the gown. The belt is also removable.

I wore the gown with a 6cm heel and a simple long veil which I am including in the sale price.
 
The Rylie gown was extremely comfortable and very easy to get in and out of. I could sit and dance comfortably.
 
Recently professionally dry cleaned but still has slight yellowish staining at the bottom of the dress at the hem line. This was from walking in dirt/mud as my wedding was in a garden AND it rained! This could be removed and/or replaced with new hemming. Please note that only some of the hemming is stained, not all the way around. There is absolutely no other damage such as holes or fraying.

Selling as I have no other use for it and is taking up space in my wardrobe!
 
Paid $3490 including alterations.
 
There is plenty of extra fabric left in seams to let out the gown to a size larger than at the moment. If you have any extra questions regarding the alterations I’d be happy to provide you with the details of the seamstress and she explain further. She is a reputable seamstress by KWH.
