Our Top Labels for Event Wear
When an invitation arrives, the first question is always the same: what will I wear? Event wear is a big part of what we do at Onyx Poppy Boutique, from mother of the bride and groom outfits to wedding guest dresses and black tie gowns. These are the labels we reach for first, with one dress from each to show you why.
| Label | What it does best | Dress to try |
|---|---|---|
| Frank Lyman | Easy-to-wear gowns and overlay dresses | Tiered Overlay Dress 219022 |
| Sacha Drake | Prints and statement shapes | Lorelei Maxi Dress |
| Jesse Harper | Beading | Beaded tea-length dress JH0525 |
| Samantha Rose | Clean, fitted shapes with one feature detail | Nicolette Midi in Wine |
Frank Lyman
Frank Lyman makes up much of our gown range, with full-length gowns, knit dresses and chiffon overlay styles. These are dresses that are comfortable to wear for a whole day and still look polished at night.
A good place to start is the Tiered Overlay Dress 219022. It has a soft chiffon overlay, a fine diamanté trim and a pull-on fit, and it comes in Midnight, Sangria and Evergreen.
Best for: weddings, cocktail parties and black tie events. See the full Frank Lyman range.
Sacha Drake
Sacha Drake is the label for colour and print. Our event wear range includes wrap dresses, midis and maxis from the label.
The Lorelei Maxi Dress shows what Sacha Drake does well: a one-shoulder neckline, a dramatic sleeve, and a silk-blend burnout fabric in an exclusive print.
Best for: weddings and race days when you want to wear colour. See the full Sacha Drake range.
Jesse Harper
When you want beading, we head to Jesse Harper. The label's dresses and gowns bring sparkle in shapes that are still easy to wear.
Style JH0525 is a beaded mesh dress in a tea length, with a V neck and short scalloped sleeves. It comes in Emerald and Latte.
Best for: a mother of the bride or groom, and formal evening events. See the full Jesse Harper range.
Samantha Rose
Samantha Rose keeps the shape clean and lets one detail do the work.
In the Nicolette Midi, that detail is a layered ruffle over one shoulder. The dress is fully lined, with side ruching and a stretch fabric, in a deep wine colour.
Best for: cocktail parties and weddings. See more from Samantha Rose.
More than the dress
Our event wear range also covers gowns and pantsuits. We carry shoes, accessories and undergarments too, so the whole outfit can be finished in one visit.
