This week Australia held its most popular horse race, the Emirates Melbourne Cup Day. While I am not necessarily a fan of the racing, I do love seeing all the fashion that is on display for an occasion like this. (Check out my Look of the Week Post for my Best Dressed from Melbourne Cup.)
Obviously most of us don't need to go to the full dress-up of a race-day look for Summer. But the high-end styles from events like these, are filtered down to the high street stores, and I have found some pretty dresses for your Summer Parties. I have matched the dresses with body-shapes so you have some choices for your shape. If you want to find out more about bodyshapes then check out Dress for your shape.
PEAR
This bodyshape looks great in fit and flare dresses or an A-line skirt with a fitted top tucked in. You want to emphasise your tiny waist.
Witchery Ruffle Print Dress $179.90, Forever New Lara Lace Prom Dress $169.99, Country Road Lace Panelled Dress $399.00.
