Whether you're attending a gala, wedding, or prom, we will guide you through the top trends dominating the Australian evening gown scene.

MODERN MINIMALISM

Simplicity is the key to sophistication in 2023. Clean lines, sleek silhouettes, and minimal embellishments dominate the modern formal dress trend. Here at House of Troy we are including many more minimalist designs, such as column gowns, slip dresses, and sheath dresses, in luxurious fabrics like satin and silk. This trend highlights understated elegance, allowing our customer’s natural beauty to shine through.

VIBRANT COLOURS

Bold and vibrant hues are making a splash in the Australian formal dress landscape this year. From striking cobalt blue to rich emerald green, and from fiery red to vibrant fuchsia, expect to see a stunning array of colours that make a statement on our website. Whether in a monochromatic gown or color-blocked ensemble, daring shades are set to add excitement and energy to any formal event. Take a look at our designs by Mélani the Label for many vibrant coloured styles.

SHEER FABRICS

Sheer fabrics continue to reign supreme in 2023, lending a touch of enchantment and romance to formal dresses. Delicate chiffon, tulle overlays, and organza are popular choices, creating ethereal and floating silhouettes. These translucent fabrics offer a graceful illusion, allowing glimpses of skin while maintaining an air of elegance and sophistication. Our designer Mila Label showcases many of these sheer designs.

INTRICATE EMBELLISHMENTS

Elaborate embellishments are back in style, adding drama and sparkle to formal dresses. Intricate beading, sequins, and embroidery are adorning gowns, creating a sense of opulence and glamour. Expect to see strategic placements of embellishments, like ornate bodices, sparkling sleeves, or intricate patterns cascading down the skirt. These details elevate the overall look, ensuring all eyes will be on you. Take a look at our designs by Nicoletta (formerly Jadore) for many unique styles.
