Love your Melbourne Cup outfit. This is a very flattering dress on you! The binding on the hem is the perfect finishing touch. Nice fascinator too. Did you make it?

Stunning outfit. I love the contrast godets and bias bound hem. I will be very interested in the next step of your combination. I love dresses, but how often can you wear a jacket in QLD in summer? I hope you have a brilliant idea I can steal!

Just beautiful ~ you in that dress! It is a flattering cut and the use of the reverse fabric in the gores is such a perfect touch. I just love the whole look.

This would be a perfect Kentucky Derby dress. You just need a hat and a mint julep, lol. It's a great style for you. I love the contrast in the godets. Beautiful.
