MOTHER'S DAY
MUM'S THE WORD
Happy Mother’s Day to all the hardworking, amazing and inspiring mothers out there!
We know how hard but rewarding being a mum can be, and one day just doesn’t seem
like enough to celebrate all that you do!
Whether you find yourself going out for high tea, attending school events, or spending the
day with family, we have the perfect piece for you to celebrate with your loved ones.
Choose from luxurious easy-wear and care stretch jersey fabrics to spend the day in comfort, or show-stopping prints for a little extra wow factor.
SCHOOL EVENTS
There are usually many high tea and luncheon events offered by schools for the Mums to come together and enjoy some great food and conversation.
Most of these are large-scale events with great catering and an equally great outfit is required. Keep it laid back in style but rich with fabrics, colour and embellishments to dress it up for the perfect sophisticated daytime glamour.
Schools will also hold Mother's day stalls which has a variery of arts and crafts on display to purchase. Pop the date in Dad's calendar so that the kids can be sent off fully prepared to pick out a little gift for Mum.
We love the Bird of paradise Dress (pictured) for the perfect Mother's Day school event.
PERFECT PICNICS
Mother’s Day falls during Autumn which can mean cooler mornings but beautiful warmer daysmaking it perfect for the outdoors.
Pack some sandwiches, a bottle of wine, some snacks and make some memories in the sun. This is Great if you just want a
relaxed day with the family or, if you have younger siblings or children that can enjoy some lawn games and nearby parks.
If you don’t have time to plan anything, just pop to the supermarket and pack a little basket of food for the perfect picnic in the park day.
The Butterfly Brooch Dress (pictured) is stretchy, comfortable, and the longer length makes it easy to sit on picnic rugs- A must have for your Mother's Day picnic.
NEW MUMS
If you're expecting or have recently become a mum, then congratulations on celebrating your first Mother's Day. A nice breakfast or lunch is the perfect way to celebrate between naps and feedings with your little one.
There's no doubt that our bodies can do amazing things, and the changes it endues can make dressing a completely new task to navigate.
At SACHA DRAKE, we have a variety of styles that complement a growing baby bump that can then be worn again after pregnancy, thus creating extra versatility in your wardrobe.
Easy access styles are also paramount for new breastfeeding mums to help you feel confident to feed on the go. We love Wrap styles and button down shirtmaker styles for the easy access and comfort to feed bub anywhere and anytime.
Our favourite pregnancy and breastfeeding dress is the Soule Park Shirtmaker Dress (Pictured). Wear it open with a pregnancy bodycon dress, and then as a breastfeeding friendly button down dress once bub arrives.

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.
