  • What is a black tie dress code?
    •

    A black tie dress code is an elegant, sophisticated dress code used for formal and semi-formal occasions. Black tie dresses are typically long, ornate gowns made from luxurious fabrics like satin or silk. They can be adorned with embellishments but are often kept simple in order to maintain a sophisticated look. If you’re looking to make a glamorous impression at a wedding or gala, black tie dresses are the way to go.

  • How do I choose the perfect designer black tie dress for me?
    •

    When it comes to black tie event dresses, there’s no such thing as too much glamour. First, take into account the event’s location. Is it indoors or outdoors? If it’s outdoors, opt for a light, airy gown in a silk or chiffon fabric. For an indoor event, a velvet or satin black tie dress will add a touch of glamour, while a lace option will exude an air of romance.

    Next, consider your body type. An empire-waist dress is flattering on all figures, while a mermaid-style gown will hug your curves. If you’re petite, look for a dress with intricate details, such as ruffles or beading, which will help create extra volume and definition. And if you have a large bust, be sure to choose a dress with a supportive bodice.

  • How do I know my correct size?
    •

    You can shop our complete range of dresses at our Paddington, Sydney boutique and try our black tie dress selection for yourself. Prefer to shop online? Consult our size chart on the product page and place your order. You can return or exchange your black tie event dress if you find it’s not quite the right fit you’re looking for.
