WHY KWH?
We added Karen Willis Holmes to the Unbridaled collection in 2024 because of one very specific thing — the Design Your Gown range. We have heard the same sentence from brides more times than we can count:
"if I could just have the bodice from that dress on this skirt."
KWH is the designer that actually lets you do that.
The Design Your Gown range works with mix-and-match mikado separates — bodices, skirts, sleeves and overskirts that can be combined and then stitched as a complete finished gown. The fabric is luxurious, the construction is precise, and the result is a dress that feels genuinely designed rather than chosen.
PRICE RANGE
Karen Willis Holmes Design Your Gown at Unbridaled: £2,500–£3,500.
All prices on individual product pages.
LEAD TIME
Karen Willis Holmes gowns are made to order in 16 weeks, so when you add on delivery, QC, collection and alterations we require 28 weeks from ORDER date to WEDDING date.
CUSTOMISATIONS
Customisation is the whole point - Once your selection is confirmed it is stitched as a single complete gown — not separates held together. Standard sizing applies with alterations to follow
Who Wears KWH
She has screenshotted fourteen photos of different dresses with captions like "this top, but that skirt." She is going to love this.
Her look
Considered and specific. She has a strong point of view and the patience to execute it properly. She does not compromise on things that matter and a wedding dress matters.
Her approach
She arrives knowing roughly what she wants. She leaves knowing exactly what she is getting. The process suits her — she is someone who makes decisions well when given proper options.
Her wedding
-
A grand Scottish venue where the construction and quality of the dress will be noticed
-
A country house wedding where she wants to look polished from ceremony to last dance
-
Any wedding where she has been equally specific about every other detail
-
A Scottish winter wedding where sleeves were never optional
-
Any bride who wants to wear something that could not have been made for anyone else
