Mix & Match Dresses


The Mix & Match collection by KAREN WILLIS HOLMES is a luxury line of wedding dresses, handmade to order.  Designed so that you can create your own gown and customise your look for your day. Within BESPOKE are stunningly unique gowns that range from fit and flare shapes with plunging necklines, to strapless beaded ballgowns and everything in-between.

The best part? If you find yourself loving the bodice on one dress and the skirt on another within our line, you have the ability to pick the perfect combination that suits your vision for your wedding dress.

These wedding gowns are designed specifically to mix and match interchangeably, creating hundreds of different options that brides can choose from to build their dream wedding dress.

When you visit one of our four KAREN WILLIS HOLMES boutiques we will have separate bodices and skirts available so you truly get to try on the collection as it was meant to be experienced; by selecting each piece that creates your dream gown as you see fit. Our expert staff will be able to assist you and make suggestions when creating your finished look.

You’ll also have the choice of multiple customisable options such as; choosing a button back or lace-up back, adding a strap to our strapless gowns, adding a sleeve to our sleeveless dresses, making a personalised neckline adjustment to our deeper V-neck gowns, and more. Our collection consists of sophisticated, custom wedding dresses which have a structured fit that so many brides love.

The softer dresses in this collection are figure-flattering and offer a flawless silhouette. This collection is a perfect balance of classic and contemporary— each gown is reminiscent of a timeless look with a fresh, modern twist, and many have a simple, minimalist feel to them. The details are brought out in subtle and unexpected ways; flattering seam lines, open necklines, cutaway and illusion panels, unique embellishments, statement sleeves. Karen doesn’t just design beautiful gowns, she breathes new life into classic styles.

Picture a fit and flare V-neck dress suddenly becoming something never seen before when made in honeycomb mesh fabric with stunning details, or a timeless strapless A-line gown made unexpectedly modern with a feature split in the skirt and added pockets. This line is handmade to order just for you.

I Don't Live Near a KWH Boutique or Stockist, How can I Purchase a KWH Gown or Obtain Expert Advice?

If you don’t live near a KWH boutique, contact our customer service team directly and we will have a solution for you to secure your dream gown. Our team can also offer you styling advice via phone or email. Feel free to contact them on +61 2 9519 3901 or info@karenwillisholmes.com.

What if I Have a Short Timeline?

We do carry stock of some gowns in-house, or we can sometimes make a gown in much shorter time frames, if we have all the fabric and time in our production calendar to fit your order in. While we can work with shorter time frames, we always recommend a longer timeline, as having a shorter one will limit what is available to you.

If you have a short time frame, please contact us on info@karenwillisholmes.com or + 61 2 9519 3901 to discuss your options.

Will I Need Alterations?

Alterations are expected and essential for the finishing touches to any gown and will make the gown truly yours. When purchasing a gown, we take your body measurements to help determine the closest standard size to your body based on our size chart. However, alterations are needed to fine-tune for fit and to your personal preference. Whether that means taking in a gown to make it smaller for your hips, bust, or waist (or maybe everywhere), adding cups, shortening straps, hemming the length, and adding in the bustle for your train, alterations are a standard part of the whole process.

How do I Style a Mix & Match Wedding Dress?

Our mix & match wedding gowns look fabulous when paired with our veils and detachable trains. We also love adding a personal touch with our variety of sleeves, gloves, drapes, and other bridal accessories! All of which can be viewed in our KWH Boutiques.
