Our Signature 1950s-Inspired Silhouette

A cornerstone of our design legacy, our fit-and-flare dresses embody the vintage-inspired aesthetic we have always loved. We modelled the shape after the popular prom dress of the 1950s. This heritage silhouette has been reimagined season after season, staying true to its classic lines while evolving through modern fabrication, colour and print. It is the dress our customers have trusted for decades, and the one we keep making new with each collection.

A Fitted Bodice and Flared Skirt

The magic is in the proportion. A fitted bodice defines the waist, while the skirt flares softly over the hips to create balance and beautiful movement. It celebrates curves and looks graceful from every angle. Whether you are petite or tall, the shape draws the eye to the narrowest part of the waist. We cut ours from cotton, linen and soft sateen, in everything from hand-painted floral prints to rich solid tones. Reach for one for a wedding, a race day or a birthday lunch, and explore our midi dresses for more of the length you love. See the full dresses range for coordinating styles.
