Long Lunch
When we shop for dresses, we often buy lots of evening dresses and don’t even think about daytime dresses. The thing is, dresses for daytime events are especially freeing. Do you need that one versatile dress that you can slip on in a moment’s notice and still look gorgeous? Look no further than the Valentin Dress! With pops of colour and feminine design, this dress is a celebration of print and can be worn dressed up or down, depending on your individual style.

Black Tie Event
When you receive an invitation with the dress code labelled black-tie, you know it’s time to get glammed up and go all out! Choosing the right attire for a black-tie event doesn’t have to be daunting and stressful. When going to a black-tie event, always choose black, navy or jewel toned colour ways, which are always classic and the best colour to wear for such events. Choose luxurious fabrics as they are garments which you would not tend to reach for daily, so now is the time to make the most of this special occasion! Opt for formal cocktail dresses and floor-length gowns to exude class and sophistication. Finally, ensure your beauty look compliments your attire. If you are wearing a simple elegant black gown, you can amp up your beauty look adding a bold lip or winged liner.
If your gown is a little more on the extravagant side, a flawless base and neutral face will be perfect.

Dress Styling and Fit
For work, minimal styling lets the print or cut do the talking. Block heels, a structured bag and simple jewellery are all you need. For events, add strappy heels, a statement earring and a clutch to shift the mood entirely. SACHA DRAKE's online stylists are available via chat for personalised recommendations if you want a second opinion.
The wrap silhouette works across most body shapes because the adjustable tie allows you to manipulate the dress to your body. It is particularly flattering on Hourglass and Pear shapes as it defines the waist and skims the hips.
For a formal event, keep accessories elevated with heeled sandals, a clutch and statement jewellery. For a weekend or travel setting, flat sandals and a sun hat bring the formality down without the dress losing its impact. The SACHA DRAKE maxi is designed to transition between settings, so the same dress works across multiple occasions with a simple accessory swap.
The midi sits roughly at mid-calf and works across a broader range of occasions including workwear, cocktail events and weddings. The maxi runs to the ankle or floor and leans more toward formal occasions and warm-weather events. Both silhouettes are available in wrap and structured styles across the SACHA DRAKE range, and both are categorised by body shape to help you find the most flattering option.
Every SACHA DRAKE garment is categorised by one of five body shapes: Hourglass, Column, Pear, Apple and Maternity. The brand designs specifically to flatter each shape rather than applying a single block pattern across all sizes. Wrap and reverse-wrap styles in particular are engineered to define the waist, balance proportions and move well on the body rather than just fitting around it.
Wrap and reverse-wrap midi styles are the strongest options for a pear shape. The wrap tie allows you to define the waist while the skirt skims over the hips rather than clinging. A-line midi silhouettes also work well for the same reason.
