Colour Block Dresses
We love the autumn winter dress range that’s full of colourful prints and classic shapes. Be they black and white, multi or colour block, you can be sure of adding a fashion forward touch. It’s all in the detail with eye-catching day and evening wear. Stand out from the crowd in a 20’s inspired LBD. The Front Rose dress is gorgeous for the cocktail hour with stretch fabric and embroidered bodice.

Two in One Print Shirt Dress
James Lakeland’s dresses cut a svelte silhouette perfect for work or play. Designed to enhance the figure with side ruching, waist gathers and pretty pleats make each style special. A two in one shirt dress gives you the best of both with upper print blouse and black pencil skirt falling just below the knee.

 

Elegant Cover Ups
Layer up in style in an elegant cover-up to wear over skirts, dresses or leggings. Ruched frill collar mohair cardigans in red or blue can easily be dressed up or down. For the ultimate glam look there’s the timeless faux fur gilet in beige or dark pink bolero.

Striped Velvet Dress and Matching Bolero

This sophisticated combination is a must-have party piece that will take you anywhere. Features include plain black bodice, open v-neck and velvet horizontal stripes falling from under the bust. Wear with matching bolero. For extra glitz there’s a fabulous black knee-length dress with sequin insert.

Black Tie Event Evening Gown

Another show stopper for Black Tie events is an elegant black maxi gown. Chesca’s evening dress features an ivory off the shoulder neckline and diamante jewel trim for added sparkle. The cream shawl collar lightens the look and is offset beautifully by the black jersey fabric. An elegantly shaped waistline with pleated side seam sculpts an hourglass silhouette for maximum impact.

Sequined Cocktail Dress

Take a break from the traditional LBD and try the navy panelled jersey dress. A soft stretch material, wide shoulder straps and sequin detail add to its appeal. There’s also dresses made for dancing in floor-skimming lengths with embellished detail and plenty of shimmer. Whatever the event you’ll find statement pieces along with wardrobe essentials to match your style.

Turn up the volume in a purple shimmer dress made for the cocktail hour. The subtle sheen of the jacquard spot print fabric exudes understated glam.

The mid-length dress has a straight sleeveless design with a high back and round scoop neck.

Matching Bolero Cover Up

For a sharp and totally feminine look slip on the matching bolero. The open neck and dainty three-quarter sleeves allow room to show off a pretty necklace or bracelet to complement the outfit. Two piece dress suits are popular at weddings and a purple combination is an ideal winter colour.

Wedding Fascinators

Secure your on-trend status with fully coordinating purple accessories. The all-important finishing touches such as eye-catching disc shape fascinators adorned with flamboyant feathers is a must. The ease of wearing this type of headwear is sometimes preferred to wedding hats. They can be a simpler and more minimalist adding glamour to any outfit. Best of all you are more likely to wear again to race days, garden parties and christenings.
