Top 5 Melbourne Fashion Must-Haves for Spring/Summer 2008

Top 5 Melbourne Fashion Must-Haves for Spring/Summer 2008

1.  

 Uniquely tailored day dress for the Melbourne Cup races

The ‘urban fashion parade’ is not for the mediocre.

Don’t fade into the background at this year’s

Spring Racing Carnival! Have a dress specially tailored to truly stand

out among the crowd. This year’s patterns for day dresses are

floral prints in various shades of pastels.

2.  

 Metallic dinner gown

Knock ‘em dead at the post-race night parties with a

tailor-made dress in metallic shades. From crystal silvers to glossy

golds – metallics are indeed the patterns to be seen in for

night parties this year.

3.  

 Floral print dress for spring weddings

Spring is the season of weddings! Make sure you have a dress ready to

attend all those Days of Love throughout Melbourne. And if

you’re the one tying the knot, make sure your dress is a

perfect complement to the most important day of your life. Tailored

dresses are the way to go. Try on a few designs for fit, and customise

it accordingly!

4.  

 Work suit made of all-natural fabric for impending summer days

Unfortunately, even with summer approaching, most of us still have to

go to the office on most days of the week. Cheer yourself up by getting

a work suit specially tailored. Silk is perfect for the upcoming warm

days, and a customised suit will do wonders in accentuating your figure.

5.  

 Tailor-made spring/summer dress for beach parties

Hot sunny days and long balmy nights are just around the corner! Be

prepared for all the late spring and summer beach parties that are

bound to rock Melbourne. Treat yourself to a few tailored dresses that

will ensure heads are turned –in your direction!- during

these parties.

d’Italia, a designer fabric store located in Malvern

(Melbourne, Australia), imports Italian silk and French lace directly

from Europe. The fabric comes from the same European fashion houses

which supply to the biggest names in haute couture. d’Italia

prides itself in providing completely natural fabric. The main

trademark of d’Italia is its wedding dress material. The pure

silk satin and chiffon and silk French trims are unmatched in natural

quality and uniqueness. A major plus-point is the dressmaker referral

system that the shop offers. Some of Australia’s best

dressmakers (especially in the wedding arena) are affiliates of

d’Italia, and reservations can be made through the store for

tailoring and fitting appointments.
