Stunningly simple…

We are big believers in the idea that you can never go wrong with navy. This colour and style is universally flattering. The classic colour pairs beautifully with this simple yet elegant one-shoulder dress, with attention drawn to the decolletage and waist. Paired beautifully with a bit of bling, this dress is sure to make a stunning statement.

Shine And Shoulder…

This elegant ensemble drapes beautifully off the body, whilst sinching you in at the perfect places. The one-shoulder draws attention to the decolletage, hence paired with an updo. This ultra-elegant piece is perfect for a formal affair!

A tie to show off the waist – check! An absolutely breathtaking colour – check! A delicate and dainty neckline and sleeve detail – definitely check! We adore every element of this crepe design which is sure to flatter a range of shapes and sizes. Even better, it’s available in four beautiful colours!

This beauty is perfect for weddings with more of a floral theme! The black base really lets the colourful blooms pop, giving this dress a real wow factor! The wrap style, ruffled skirt and sleeves also give the dress every element of comfort and style!
