VALENTINO – This silk dress is softly pleated for movement and spliced with multicoloured lace panels – creating an abstract patchwork effect. The whimsical bird, flower and ears of wheat print forms a pretty garden landscape.
SELF-PORTRAIT – A pretty powder-blue lace, Petunia dress. It is the perfect choice for summer events. Dainty flowers create a scalloped effect along the square neckline, straps and waist, while the midi hem is sheer; a signature of the label.
ALEXANDER MCQUEEN – A beautiful tiered ruffled lace gown that exudes bohemian elegance and romance. An ethereal gown crafted from delicate lace. Tiered ruffles create graceful movement through the floor-sweeping skirt.
CHLOÉ – Macramé lace-trimmed silk crepe de chine mini dress in pale-green, salmon and blush is striking and inspired by the ‘90s smock dress. We love the casual yet lingerie-inspired style.
TEMPERLEY LONDON – This is an elegant gown with a peek-a-boo embroidered lace yoke. Cut for a flattering fit, the ruffled overlay drapes to a subtle train concealing a split back.
DIANE VON FURSTENBERG – Diane von Furstenberg’s bright-orange Tiana dress is great for travel as the lace won’t wrinkle. It’s ideal for summer weddings and parties. The slim silhouette is striking on and falls to a pretty ruffled hem that’s left sheer to emphasise the intricate floral pattern.
MAJE – This chic Juniper guipure lace-panelled embroidered cotton-poplin mini dress has Art Deco-inspired embroidery. It comes with a slip and it’s perfect for elegant beach days having lunch with sandals and boho jewellery.
