For The Frill Of It

The bigger the frill, the bigger the thrill – think dresses with full skirts and ruffle hemlines to create a look of feminine wonder. A ‘Frills and Thrills’ style dress is all about movement, whether it’s the vivacity of a frilled skirt as you sashay to the buffet or a pop of print in the afternoon sun.

 

DRESSES To twirl In

Maximise your twirl potential with the sassy Maree Dress in Navy. A wrap dress style, Maree's cocktail look holds at the waist with a belt tie. The queen of fit & flare dresses, this wrap dress is fitted through the bodice before kicking loose over the legs with an A-line skirt that drapes to the knees.

Style Tip: Bring dark shades and solid colours to life with accessories that pop - think bubblegum pink, cobalt blue or a glitter of metallic silver or gold.

Dresses In Print

A wrap dress with 3/4 sleeves, the Oona Dress fits and flatters when you’re ready to let loose! Elegantly framing the decolletage, the wrap front creates a sensuous sweetheart neckline while fitted sleeves streamline the arms. In the opulent Tassel print, with it's flashes of lipstick red, bubblegum pink and glitzy gold, the Oona Dress is fun-loving and fancy free!

Wear for afternoon and sunset events and play up the Tassel print's pops of colour. Or create an eye-catching cocktail or evening look with glamorous gold accessories.

Style Tip: Crank up the music, karaoke those classics and make your getting ready rituals part of the fun!

A classic cut, the Oona Dress translates perfectly from 'popping in print' to 'timeless elegance' in black and navy. A fit and flare dress, Oona's designed to flatter every size and curve.
