For the day you have been planning
A dress you will be glad you chose.
There is a lunch, a wedding, a birthday in the family. You want to look like yourself on the day, only a little more.
Finding that dress gets harder with the years. Shops fill up with pieces cut for someone else, and the changing room light does no one any favours.
We choose our dresses the way we have in Fitzroy for thirty-two years: easy to wear, kind to the figure and right for the occasion. The size chart on this page gives every size in centimetres, so you can choose at home, without guessing.
Chosen in Melbourne, since 1994

Wore it to a wedding and the chiffon hangs beautifully without clinging in the heat. It is properly lined, so nothing shows through in the photos. I felt comfortable the whole evening.

Prettier in person than on screen. The colours are bright and the cut is flattering. Light, flowing fabric, perfect for a warm day. Lots of compliments. I have had it out three times.

The fabric flows and does not crease, I wore it all day without thinking about it once. The size matched the guide exactly, which is rare these days. I have worn it to two lunches since.

The fabric is soft with a bit of stretch, so it follows your shape without gripping anywhere. I am usually a 10 and the M was exactly right. The waist tie makes all the difference.

Here within a week. The colours are exactly like the photos and the cut is very flattering. I wear it whenever it is warm enough, which is often. The neckline sits well without gaping.

Beautiful dress, loose and cool for summer. Half a star off as it is long on me at 5ft4 and I tread on the hem without heels. Otherwise lovely. With a small heel it sits just right.

Lovely dress, properly lined, nothing shows through at all. Half a star off because it is a bit long on me at 5ft3. A hem taken up and it is perfect. The fabric is lovely and cool to wear.

Ordered it for a dinner and have worn it twice more since. It does not crease in a suitcase, which is a real bonus for going away for a weekend. The sleeves are a good length on me.

I wore it to my son's wedding and had so many compliments. The lace is well sewn and does not scratch at all, even after a long day on my feet. It photographed beautifully on the day.

The colours are even nicer in person than they look on screen. Delivered in eight days and the size is true to the guide, no guessing needed. The fabric feels much better than I expected.

It has pockets, which I did not expect. Comfortable and dressy at the same time, so I wear it to work and again on the weekend without thinking. It washes and hangs dry with no ironing.

Loose, light, with sleeves that cover the arms properly, which is exactly what I was after. Hand washed once already with no trouble at all. The colour has not faded in the sun.

The fabric is light and cool, perfect for summer here. Machine washed at 30 on a gentle cycle, no fading and no shrinking, and it dried overnight. The buttons at the front sit flat.
