LINEN DRESSES

As we move closer to summer, our thoughts turn to cooler, more breathable fabrics and strappy, easy to wear silhouettes. So, what better way to embrace the sunshine season than with floaty linen dresses. We love this plant-derived material for its luxurious look, easy care qualities, and the fact that it takes less energy and water to process compared to other popular fabrics.

Whether you're seeking a casual linen shift dress or something more elevated like our ruffle linen minis for special occasions, we have you covered. This season, we're excited to introduce more ramie into the range, a plant-derived fibre that closely resembles linen and offers all its benefits, plus a softer, sateen feel.

CLASSIC STRIPES

Timeless stripes in shades of navy, black, and white bring a classic, preppy appeal to even the simplest tank or maxi dress. Pair timeless stripes with denim skirts, black pants, or fresh tailored shorts for an elegant yet relaxed look.

Our range of camis and tanks are essential summer staples, offering the versatility to be worn alone or layered with linen blazers for a workwear look that keeps you cool and stylish.

SUMMER PARTY DRESSES

As the year draws to a close, we eagerly await the festive season, a time filled with special celebrations and parties. This summer event season calls for a joyful and vibrant approach to occasion wear. Embrace the spirit of the season with summer party dresses in bold colours and striking prints. 

For end-of-year work functions or New Year's Eve parties, make a grand entrance in a mesmerising orange dress. As you gather with loved ones for a long Christmas lunch, opt for a tropical floral dress that easily transitions you from afternoon to evening. And, for something dreamy and feminine, look for dresses with ruffles, ruching, and statement rosettes. 

Elevate your look with our curated collection of heels and evening bags and add the finishing touch with a pair of statement earrings.

What to wear to Oaks Day, Flemington VIC

Traditionally known as Ladies Day, Oaks Day is your chance to celebrate all things feminine and romantic. Opt for floral dresses in soft shades of coral, pink, or yellow. Our new season ombré florals are an elegant alternative to traditional painterly roses and delicate ditsy prints if you want to experiment with something new. Find them adorning lightweight midi dresses with belted waists. Complete the look with cream coloured accessories and don't forget a whimsical headband.

What to wear to Stakes Day, Flemington VIC

Colloquially referred to as 'family day', Stakes Day is a more casual affair and this laidback take on the races is seen in the relaxed attire most punters favour. We suggest keeping it elevated with a daytime event dress but choosing a relaxed silhouette and lightweight fabrics like linen or ramie. Keep it simple with block colours or an understated print, like our chocolate and white polka dot. For those who still wish to don headwear, we suggest a straw hat or a subtle headband.
