The Dress

The Dress
I loved my KWH wedding dress!! It is the Margareta from the Luxe Collection. I think it is a really elegant gown. I love the high neckline at the front contrasted with the low back. The beading makes if feel natural and classy all at the same time. I wore the gown once on my wedding day and it was really comfortable throughout the day. It was dry cleaned a couple days after the big day at the Maurice Dry cleaners (can provide receipt). It is a beautiful dress for a spring, autumn or winter wedding. Sadly selling and would love for someone else to enjoy it on their special day also.

Description from Karen Willis Holmes website:
The Margareta wedding gown is all about demure glam with its high cut boat neckline, long adorned sleeves, slim-fitting bias cut skirt and an open back that drops away off the shoulders right down to the waist. Finished with a fine beaded belt.

Sale of gown also includes:
- KWH belt (note, I tucked the belt into the back of the dress as I had a ribbon in my hair already).
- KWH sewing kit with spare beads
- KWH bridal gown bag

The dress is quite heavy due to the beading. Please let me know your postcode and I will try and figure out postage costs. Note. The dress did not feel heavy while I was wearing it.

Please feel free to message if you have any questions. More than happy to provide additional photos and measurements. If you are in Sydney, I am happy for you to see the dress in person prior to purchase but only if you are a serious buyer.

Alterations

The alterations were done by Karen Willis Holmes (as part of the hemming package).

Alterations included:

Hem - the hem was shorten at the front to my height - 165cm + 3.5inch Loeffler Randall heels. Total height 174cm (measured).

Bustle - an American bustle was added. It attached to below the buttocks region, however it broke. A seamstress would have to repair the bustle (if desired).

Sleeves - the sleeves were shorten a little but still relatively long (my personal preference).

The back- The lower back was taken in a little to prevent sagging. If you watch the KWH video you will notice sagging material on the back of the gown when the model turns. This alteration prevents this.

Cups - there is an option to add cups but I declined and used strapping tape.
