Number one rules to Spring Racing Fashion Rules
Remember, "Less is More!"
Lady like dressing, modest silhouettes and classic styles are key to successfully putting together your look.
Hemlines should always be below the knee, never wear sequins trackside, always wear headwear, denim is not acceptable, underwear should never be on display and if you choose to bare a little bit of skin, remember that less is more.
The Secret to Successfully Wearing and Choosing a Fascinator
This season headwear will be quite memorable. Individuality and unique textures is on the trend right now!
Expect to see polka dots, metallics, leather, brass, exotic skins prints and 3D elements such as leaves and arrows.
Choose your headwear second to your outfit and then style the rest of your look accordingly.
Party Wear and Race Wear Are Different
Race wear and party wear differ greatly. Race wear is about elegance, modesty and femininity. Party wear is often fun and flirty, and showing off a little more skin is somewhat more acceptable.
Weeks of preparation brought many different artisans of the Bridal industry together to support and promote one another, pulling off a very successful weekend for all. Brides to be, along with their mothers, friends and bridal parties came from all around Melbourne to seek inspiration and contacts for their future wedding plans.
Thanks to Valerie and Lin from M&Y Events and Paul Bellotti Venue Manager from The Dome for making this exciting weekend a success and thanks to all the volunteers who carried through--couldn't have done it without you.
Craftsmanship is back in trend! As of late, more and more people are looking towards getting their outfits custom made as opposed to buying off the rack. When it comes to specialty garments such as wedding gowns, evening wear and race wear, consumers have become more fashionably aware of the difference in quality and fit.
Ladies no longer are settling for looking anything less than the best in their outfits and wouldn't mind spending a little extra just to get something that fits exactly to their measurements.
