BACK A WINNER: THE PERFECT RACE DAY WEAR

With so many fabulous Spring Carnival days approaching we have hand-picked our favourite looks to have you ready to hit the track in style. Each event tends to have their own spring dress code and we have the perfect outfit for any you are attending. Our show-stopping designs look fabulous but don't compromise on fit and comfort which is equally as important for a big and eventful day.

GET READY FOR FASHIONS ON THE FIELD WITH AUSTRALIAN-DESIGNED SPRING DRESSES AND OUTFITS.

DERBY DAY

Derby Day is strictly about looking sharp in black and white. We love printed or striped monochrome spring dresses, however a plain black or white dress is also a perfect for the day. Channel Audrey Hepburn with the fitted Sabrina Dress (pictured left) by pairing it with a statement black and white fascinator or hat. The Peck Wrap Dress (pictured middle) has a jersey top to keep you feeling comfortable and a beautiful statement A-line skirt to flatter the hips whilst the Funny face Dress (pictured right) has a statement sleeve and elegance.

COX PLATE

We love texture and colour for the Cox Plate, follow the trends but keep it sophisticated. The Hotel De Paris Dress (pictured left) has the perfect contrast of lighter and darker colours mixed with a metallic spot print which sparkles as you walk. Wear it either on or off the shoulder depending on your preference and pair it with a gold or Blue fascinator for maximum impact. The Baroness Dress (pictured middle) is the perfect combination of colour, sparkle and comfort with a stretch jersey slip and luxurious silk outer.

MELBOURNE CUP DAY

The 'Race That Stops The Nation is always the biggest event of the season and your racewear should be to. Have fun with your style for this glamorous and sophisticated event by incorporating matching fascinators and colour pops into your outfit for maximum impact. Be bold and bright in the Golightly Dress (pictured left) and Love Among Thieves Kaftan (pictured right) with their luxurious silk and amazing colour palete. Use pops of yellow pink and red in bags and fascinators to highlight the standout print and accessorise jewellery in gold. For a full bold look choose the Love in the Afternoon Dress (pictured middle) with a matching pink fascinator for a polished and standout fashions on the field look.

SPRING DRESSES DESIGNED TO FIT AND FLATTER

With more events now returning, it's exciting to dress up again with somewhere to go. Our racewear dresses and separates are available in sizes 8-18 and will have something to suit all styles and bodyshapes. Whether it's the Cox Plate, Derby Day or Melbourne Cup race days we have something for everyone. SACHA DRAKE's Australian-designed premium fabrics won't disappoint when you need the perfect outfit to feel comfortable for a big day but also have you looking completely race day ready. 

FAQ

 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.
