Going to Royal Ascot ladies?
Then look no further than Jane and Marilyn dresses – they were
made for events such as Ascot, where you want to look gorgeous but also need to
follow a dress code.
Well OK if you have not been invited in to the Royal
Enclosure, then the dress code is not as strict but you never know, a dashing gent
in splendid morning attire may rush up to your side and say he needs a partner
suitably dressed to escort in to the Royal Enclosure. And where would you be if
you were wearing a strapless dress hey? - Definitely not in the Royal
Enclosure.
So what is the Royal Enclosure dress code?
No halter necks, strapless gowns or spaghetti straps – dress
straps must be at least one inch wide.
No minis, dress length should be to the knee or below
And of course a hat or a substantial head piece which covers
the crown of your head.
So let’s look at a few of the Jane and Marilyn dresses
 |
| Peacock dress |
Royal Ascot is all about being on show, like a peacock.
And
in the silk taffeta Peacock dress you
won’t be blending in to the background.
The below the knee swing skirt with button front fastening and matching wide
belt gives a fashionable retro 50’s look with a sophisticated twist in the
guise of a wide neckline collar and bracelet length sleeves.
Fully lined in silk,
you only have to decide whether to go for peacock blue or peacock green.
Of
course this dress would look great with a bold feathery head piece.
Price £845
 |
| Joan dress |
For the warmer sunny days we all hope will appear during
Royal Ascot, the Joan dress is ideal.
A summer cotton frock again with the
retro 50’s swing skirt.
Here the front may be high giving nothing away until
you turn around to reveal a low glamorous back.
Go doubly royal at Ascot with the
Royal blue print, or opt for the classic black and grey print.
Fully lined in pure
silk and priced at £595.
 |
| Jane dress |
In sexy lipstick red, body skimming with a fluted kick panel
at the back and cut low at the front, the Jane
dress is the most daring for Royal Ascot but still within the dress code with
straps wider than one inch
In 100% soft
lightweight wool and fully lined in pure silk, the price is £710.
 |
| Audrey dress |
Stylishly chic is Audrey
a simple shift dress in either classic black or bold violet with a cheeky
double box pleat at the back. 100% soft lightweight wool and fully lined in
pure silk, price £695
 |
| Elizabeth dress |
Vibrant violet is the only colour for the Elizabeth dress, inspired by the late Ms
Taylor’s striking eyes.
Also famous for her Hollywood curves, this pencil dress will
help emphasize yours with its plunging neckline, gathering under the bust and
fluted hem at the back.
100% soft lightweight wool and fully lined in pure
silk. Price £735.
 |
| Sophia dress |
They say Italians do it better and the Sophia dress shows us how to be a vamp in black without exposing lots
of flesh.
The matching wide belt cinches in the waist whilst the flared fluted
hem at the back emphasizes the curves.
The wide neckline is just asking for a
diamond necklace
100% soft lightweight
wool and fully lined in pure silk.
Price £740.00
 |
| Ava dress |
Tailored whilst raising temperatures is the Ava dress in mercury silver grey.
The low cut neckline with soft gathering under
the bust contrasts well with the sharp collar and tailored pencil silhouette
with its box pleats at the back.
The bracelet length sleeves can be worn up or
down, I’m thinking up for another sharp edge to the look.
36% silk and 62%
cotton keeps the mercury cool.
Fully lined in pure silk and price £695.
 |
| Grace dress |
Play it cool in the elegant shimmering pearl grey Grace dress with its simple boat neckline, pencil silhouette and matching
wide belt. Then make waves with the heavily panelled fluted back that gives a
sexy twist to this otherwise demure dress. Also available in classic black. 100%
soft lightweight wool and fully lined in pure silk. Price £740.
