Our curated collection of ladies' race day dresses is made for moments that matter. From classic silhouettes to bold colour pops to flirty florals and unique race day dresses with personality, we have something for every fashion-loving gal.

Spring racing season? Think pretty pastels and blooming prints—our spring race day dresses bring fresh, floral energy to the field.

No matter the season or your style, you’ll find a dress that makes you feel like the main event.

Your Favourite Brands in One Place

Our selection of Acler gowns is perfect for the Melbourne Cup Day dress code, which calls for big, bright, and bold colours. Dare to be fearless when choosing your outfit for the races; experiment with bright copper tones, a pop of bubblegum pink, or a splash of burnt orange.

Accessorising Like a Queen

No race day outfit is complete without the perfect accessories. That’s where our race day hair accessories and finishing touches come in. Top off your look with a wide-brimmed hat, sparkling headband, or signature fascinator to make your mark. Add a statement clutch, elegant shoes, and carefully curated jewellery to tie it all together—our edit of race day accessories ensures your ensemble is cohesive, chic, and completely you.

Why Should You Rent a Designer Race Day Dress?

We know how tempting it is to buy a new dress for every special occasion. However, when it comes to the races, it can be hard to afford both the cost and the closet space required for a brand-new look each day.

And besides, spending a fortune isn't the only way to make an iconic fashion statement at the races! Renting a designer race day dress means you can step out in something spectacular for a fraction of the price.

The races are the perfect opportunity to experiment with different styles, which can be less daunting when you know you will need to return your race-day dress after the event.

Hiring your outfit is also a much more sustainable fashion choice. By renting instead of buying your race day dress, you're contributing to a circular fashion economy and helping to reduce fashion waste.
