Start With the Silhouette
Think about the day you're in for. Standing, walking across the lawn, a few photos by the fence and maybe dancing later. Most of our race day dresses are maxis because they move well and look great in every photo. If you'd rather show a bit of leg, there are midis like the Ariana and the Lewis, plus a few minis.
Pick Your Colour, Pick Your Mood
Pink is a crowd favourite for the races, and there's plenty to choose from, from soft baby pink to bolder floral prints. Baby blue is made for a sunny afternoon. Black and white are always sharp, and florals in chocolate, blue and green give you something a little different. The Gabriella and the Hudson come in several colourways, so you can find your version. Want more of one shade? Explore floral maxi dresses, pink maxi dresses or blue maxi dresses. Some race days have a dress code or colour theme, so check your event's rules before you commit.
Comfy Enough to Last All Day
You'll want a dress you can forget about by the second race. Our styles include polyester mesh, stretch lace and cotton blends, and several are described as fully lined, true to size and bra friendly. Some are bump friendly too. Every style fits a little differently, so check the product page for fabric, lining and measurements. Our size guide uses AU sizing, and the range changes from dress to dress. Expecting? Head to the bump friendly collection.

Finish the Look, Then Wear It Again
When the dress has a print, keep the rest simple. Pick one or two statement pieces from our jewellery, bags and accessories.

The wedding guest edit and formal edit have more ideas.
FAQs
What should I wear to the races?
It depends on the event, so check the dress code before you buy. A dress in a polished fabric with a considered hemline and simple accessories is a safe place to start for most race days.
Can I wear black or white to the races?
Often, yes, but some race days set a colour theme or dress code. Check the event's website or your invitation first, then pick the style you feel best in.
