Fabulous Frock Friday

luxe to less

Fabulous Frock Friday isn’t always about amazing dresses I can never afford. Today I’m showing you the runway to the high street version of this cute yellow lace dress. On the right, Alex Perry has created a gorgeous frock, perfect for Melbourne Cup Day. On the left, Forever New have devised a cheap and cheerful version, currently on sale with 20% off! (Ends Sunday 14 September).

There is nothing like a fabulous frock (especially on a Friday). The mere sight of a gorgeous creation that can make you smile; that sparkles with the slightest turn and can make the wearer feel nothing short of Princess like for as long as the fabric envelopes her.

My friend Felicity and I are massive fans of the frock. The extravagance of it. The oversized and ridiculous. The impractical and the ethereal. All the frocks.

So we started a new instagram account to pay homage to those fabulous frocks: instagram.com/frockinggoodfrock. Come and sigh with us at the sheer beauty of these creations. Ooh and ahh as we post dresses that defy gravity and girls who make art wearable.

We give good frock.

One of my fave looks at VAMFF last week, at the Independent Runway show.

This Marchesa floral print silk-gazar dress is so delightful, I just want to dance around a garden in it. Although  at close to $7000, I probably wouldn’t wear it out of the house for fear I’d snag it on something. But in case you have $7k lying around for dresses to dance in, get it at Net-a-Porter.

It’s not technically a frock, but this is the ‘most dressed’ outfit from the Chateau L’amour bridal lingerie shoot that I recently helped out on – and this skirt is too divine not to share. You can see the whole series of snaps by 35mm photography at Polka Dot Bride. Many thanks to Sarah from Style Melbourne for having me along on the shoot!
