About the Dress

Hello, I’m selling my beautiful Catalina bespoke wedding gown by Karen Willis Holmes. It was worn at my wedding in November 2024 and is an absolute dream dress.

I had the dress custom made by Karen Willis Holmes in Sydney. When I was looking, I did myself look to buy a preloved gown and looking back I could’ve saved heaps doing this - as now I know you can tailor and alter the dress to fit you. Noting that from 1 January 2025 all Karen Willis Holmes gowns are going up in price, so buying preloved is a great way to help the wedding budget stretch that bit further and use the 2K you’ll save on something else!

Included in the price I will also chuck in the KWH Pearl Long Veil that I purchased to go with the dress. It is gorgeous!
