Dress to Impress at This Year Derby Day

The Melbourne Cup Spring Carnival kicks off this weekend and it starts with Derby Day. The dress code for Derby Day is elegant monochrome! I’m sharing how to create a chic, elegant and affordable Spring Racing look on this post.

Derby Day is traditionally known as the most elegant and glamorous of the four race days. Did you know that to enter members’ spaces, outfits must not show any midriff and strictly no denim?

This season I’m creating an elegant monochrome look in this white midi dress, injecting metallics through statement earrings and understated headpiece. Ruffles are back this season, which was one of the reasons I picked this dress. There’s a corset boning in this dress, which adds structure and holds the shape, instantly adds some elegance. For the make-up, I used natural colours champagne shimmer eyeshadow, and peachy creamy lipstick.
