“Feel like a woman, wear a dress”
Diane Von Furstenberg

A must for every wardrobe

Sundresses are fabulous options when you want to feel comfortable but still look polished and feminine. Empire-waists are wonderfully flattering on curvier bodies or for women who want to look taller. Simple long dresses in bold colours or prints can be dressed up for special occasions or down for casual day wear by adding the right accessories.

A shift dress, a short, sleeveless dress in a simple style with little detailing, is a versatile style that lends itself to both casual and more formal wear.

You can’t go wrong with one of their slip dresses. Slips are so easy to layer: choose monochromatic pieces and keep the slip as the focal point. Team it up with an elegant lace jacket or chiffon jacket, either short or long.

Let the print and colours speak for themselves. Tracey Paton is an expert at enhancing classic basic shapes with standout features.

When you want to exude sophistication, grace and need more formal dresses, a lace dress has a timeless quality that never goes out of style. Need a mother of the bride or groom dress? A printed floral T or knee-length dress will wear just as well at barbecues and garden parties as summer weddings.

Wrap dresses cleverly draw attention to a woman’s curves in a lovely, feminine way. They have a sense of effortless ease with a flattering neckline and a clean and elegant look.

A black dress is a fail-safe flattering colour while directional dresses are designed to enhance the curvier woman.
