Purple Formal Dresses

Find Your Perfect Formal Dress

The Formal Dresses edit is made for every moment that calls for a little extra effort, the big nights, the milestone dinners, and every “wow, you look amazing” moment in between. Whether you’re heading to a black-tie wedding, a ball, your Year 10 or Year 12 formal, your graduation, or even just a fancy dinner that got a little more dressy than expected, these pieces bring polish without trying too hard.

Your Guide to Formal Dress Styles

If drama’s your thing, you’ll fall for our maxis, sweeping silhouettes, luxe satin, and chiffon that moves beautifully under the lights. Want that perfect in-between? Semi-formal Midis strike the balance between timeless and modern, made for the girl who likes a little structure with her sparkle. And when it’s time to go all out, reach for our satin or sequin formal dresses, they catch the light (and attention) from every angle.

Cuts, Colours & Fabrics You’ll Love

You’ll find all kinds of cuts here: halternecks, off-the-shoulder moments, strapless styles, and those one-shoulder looks that show just the right bit of skin. The colours are just as good: soft champagne, blush pink tones, deep emerald green, classic navy blue. They all hit different once the lights go down, our formal and semi-formal dresses are made for evenings out.

Style & Personalise Your Outfit

Styling? Easy. Grab a pair of barely-there heels from our collection and a sparkly clutch or chic bag that fits the essentials; phone, lip, cards, done. Put on gold jewellery pieces if you want that warm glow; silver if you feel like looking sharper. For hair, it’s totally up to the vibe you’re going for. Soft waves give easy and romantic, and a slick bun is perfect when you’re into that clean, polished look. A touch of highlight on your cheekbones never hurts, and a red lip if you’re in the mood to go bold.
