Elegant comes to mind for this wrap skirt – the long, almost maxi length gives space to have the right proportion for the drop waist gather below the hipline. The gentle curve on the wrap panel takes the eye along a desired vertical again with the sash tie hanging down.

The flat panel on the hip and tummy means you can have a top hang out without becoming a bubble of ruffle – or tuck in just a tiny bit at the wrap tie point to add to the verticals and avoid lots of blunt horizontal lines.

A strong neutral backdrop  – whether paired with camel for a sophisticated style – but works just as well with indigo or cobalt contrast, or the designer’s favourite when paired with blue rose.

Confetti print, sophisticated femininity.

First impressions are an autumnal palette in a soft, floaty dress. A scattered patchwork combining ochre, soft khaki and creamy white. Upon close inspection the different tones of these 3, happy together, colours are generated by the patterns making them varying intensities of the same colour. All 3 colours play at being the foreground and background. A really clever design.

The combination of repetitive flower petals and leaves morphing into mini organic painterly dots, in the 3 colours, means the limited palette hangs perfectly together whilst also being far more “interesting” than solid colours, and at the same time reinforcing the autumn feel theme.

There is a freshness and lightness, thanks to the inclusion of the creamy white, whilst offering up an autumnal palette.

There is something special about the light refraction on satin fabrics – the multitude of tones as the light catches the different directions of the fabric weave allows for a depth of colour that seems supernatural.

A perfect palette for Autumn – Ochre and Khaki are the perfect pair to get in the mood for the much-anticipated cooling off, after a long hot summer; before we’re looking for cosy winter solutions. 

A soft and sophisticated tone of khaki that sits with most colours – whether it’s other neutrals or contrast “complementary” colours in the ochre, fuchsia or purple tones.

The Khaki is what I call “colourless” – it’s only just looking khaki – not too bright. The lustre of the satin creates multiple tones of itself – letting it then pair with almost any colour.

This amazing linen fabric has to be seen to truly appreciate the tones of colours creating a texture and depth that looks more like linen – than linen!?

So, keep it simple and commune with the best of the retro 60’s and you’re guaranteed to achieve sophisticated elegance.

Liquid Gold – is the only way to describe this stunning colour.

Whether you are wearing it as a starting point to layering your outfit or the “finishing touch” for your outfit – it is a sublime soft gold.

If you are concerned it’s not ‘your colour ‘– you can easily sort that out by keeping another colour up near your face.

If you are after a formal evening look, grab a black layer, a similar tonal jewel colour such as ruby reds or an assortment of other pale stone/gold.

The light refraction, due to the sheen of the satin, makes this a colour that has multiple colours on its own, so if it’s a sophisticated look you’re after then simplicity is the key.

This amazing print is quite simply, wearable art. It’s a really lovely drawing of stylized chrysanthemums with buds and leaves in myriad colours, reminding us Spring is just around the corner – at last!

This border design has a foreground of a large flower and leaves in pinks, melon and greens with lots of detail so that the background of myriad greens in an organic texture, creates a real depth to the design. 

It’s the same concept when you look at a scenic landscape: the object in the foreground, be it a farmhouse, will have more detail and stronger colours; whilst the hills in the background will be much paler colours with no detail.

This gorgeous lightweight satin will see you through Summer too as you barely notice you are wearing it. It has such a soft handle that it will feel like you are being caressed by feathers.

There’s something really luxurious about satin swishing to the floor and shimmering with your every move. It not only looks amazing, it feels amazing and even sounds amazing. The weave of the satin thread catches the light and throws off a myriad of smooth, lustrous tones of this deep beautiful teal.

With all these tones of the same colour, it makes a plain fabric so much more interesting, whilst leaving it open to pairing with a multitude of colours. It will easily work with colours that sit on either side of it on the colour wheel such as greens on one side and blues on the other, whilst also working with contrast colours, such as pinks or ochre. The intensity of this teal satin has a depth of colour like the exquisite gemstone from nature. Australia’s teal sapphire is the perfect match.

This elegant A-line cut will fit the bust and then sashay down to the floor. A step up from our matte Bamboo maxi slip/dress for your next special event. Being sleeveless it is a very utilitarian piece making jacket layering extremely comfortable. And you know how important we believe this to be. And don’t forget … we slip side seam pockets in whenever we can!

This style is a design based on an era in the early ’70s of watching my mother create an oversized, teased “do” and then don her latest geometric maxi creation as she and my dad, -he being clad in a lilac body shirt- complete with sideburns, whisked off to a “Sundowner Pool Party” – a trend that was replicating movies – I’m sure I’ve merged it all in my memory …. Jane Fonda in a maxi length, sleeveless A-line shift in geometric flowers with a big floppy hat – but then I realized – I’m not Jane Fonda – she’s much taller ………. OK – along with a few other details! 

There was something glamorous going on, but being too young to grasp or analyse, I was left with an impression of glamour being colour, print and fun times! This was what inspired our new Patcee dress, however, I wasn’t focused on a summer pool party; hence, a ¾ sleeve with flared cuff was a more elegant option. She is the perfect comfortable, stylish shift dress, with a high collar and V-neck placket in an edible green satin in a solid colour, and of course … pockets!
