Off the Shoulder Navy A-Line Dress For Oxford Ball

The famous blue, as we call this dress. You would not look twice at it on the hanger but once it is on it transforms into something magical. Everyone who tries this dress instantly falls in love!

Off-the-shoulder with an overlay which covers the tops of the arms, sweetheart neckline which is flattering for all shapes. A-Line cut and a beautiful floaty skirt which has a split to show a cheeky bit of leg!

As this dress is completely plain you can keep it chic and wear it as is or you can really go to town and dress it up with some fabulous jewellery. Either way this dress is sheer elegance.

Erin chose to wear it to her University Ball at Oxford. Doesn’t she look Great? The perfect dress!

Tip: As you can see your feet in this dress nice shoes and painted toes just like Erin has done here is a must!

Wedding

Wondrous Black Asymmetric Ball Gown: Wedding at The Dorchester…

Black asymmetric ball gown with cascading appliqué flowers, a dazzling swoosh over the sheen of the black satin

After being locked down for so long, what better time to receive an invitation to a friend’s wedding at The Dorchester Hotel with a lavish dress code?

An excited Kieu came to us wanting something dramatic but also elegant and wedding-appropriate. This timeless white and black asymmetric ball gown was the perfect solution and a perfect fit.

Off-the-shoulder necklines project femininity and can flatter your topline; it’s a subtle and classy way of being sexy and looks good on many body shapes. The gown exaggerates Kieu’s tiny waistline then flows into a beautiful full skirt—very Audrey Hepburn! See our advice page for more hints and tips.

The asymmetric cascading appliqué flowers form a dazzling swoosh over the sheen of the black satin, and the fitted underskirt helps to pump up the volume (but in a nice, sweeping, kind of way).

How stunning are these photos? Kieu looks amazing in this dress and we can only imagine how amazing the Wedding was. Bit jealous, actually!

Charity

Royal Blue Evening Gown Has Hidden Secret

Corniela came in to us needing a long gown for her Creating New Beginnings charity event at the Hilton, Kensington. Like most big-busted women she was conscious of having to wear a bra with every outfit and worried about finding a stand-out formal dress that would suit both her and the occasion. We persuaded her try this Royal blue evening gown and she loved it.

Technical Support

This dress has secret cups stitched into the top and also has boning to hold everything place. You don’t need a bra at all, the dress does all the lifting for you. A straight finish across the bust doesn’t show any cleavage; instead you end up with a really flattering neckline with attention going to your neck and shoulders instead. The elbow length sleeves are good for those of us who fret about our upper arms.

Miss Galaxy Pageant: Off Shoulder Ruffle Evening Dress

Magdalena wore this blue, figure-hugging, off shoulder ruffle dress for Miss Galaxy Pageant. — “Thank you! The dress was absolutely perfect for my competition.”

In the midst of the chaos going on back stage Magdalena managed to take a quick snap before making her grand entrance for the Miss Galaxy Pageant.

This deep-blue figure-hugging, off shoulder ruffle evening dress is perfect to show off those curves. The hem of this dress has whats called a ‘horsehair braid’ sewn into it, which is what makes the dress hold this shape when moving around. Perfect for the stage or just walking into a room! Teamed up with a fab pair of earrings this is most certainly an eye catcher.

Red Off Shoulder Ball Gown for Rose of Tralee

Since I was a little girl, I have always dreamed of the dress I would wear if selected as the Wexford Rose. It was the first one I tried on and straight away I know it was the one. I absolutely loved the rose pattern underneath and how the red popped on my skin tone. Thank you to Jess and Joanna for helping me find my perfect dress!

Sairose hadn’t found the right dress until she came to us for an appointment. We picked out this red dress with the rose lining for her and it worked perfectly. She liked the way it moved and she needed a gown without too many details or beading on the top because they are given jewellery to wear. We tried out a lot of alternative dresses to see if we could top it, but this gown ticked all the boxes and, of course, it had roses! Read more “Red Off Shoulder Ball Gown for Rose of Tralee” →
