Strutting into a room in a formal dress that’s bang on trend is a total stunner, and Petal & Pup’s formal dress collection is your key to ruling any heady event. Imagine yourself in a satin evening gown with a sculpted one-shoulder neckline, its emerald shimmer glowing at a black-tie gala, or a party dress with a dazzling silhouette in champagne, perfect for a twilight wedding. From rooftop cocktail parties to winter charity galas, our frocks—crafted from airy organza, rich velvet, and sleek crepe—flaunt details like velvet rosettes or shirred waists, in hues from soft sage to fiery ruby. These formal dresses are made for the gal who thrives in the spotlight, blending effortless glamour with all-night comfort for every toast and twirl.
Petal & Pup’s formal dresses are your playground for crafting a look that’s pure you, letting you dial up the drama or keep it sleek with a few clever accessories. Slip into a minimalist A-line dress in soft taupe with a shirred bodice, jazzed up with chunky silver hoops for a hens night, or go all-out in a velvet ball gown with a plunging neckline in emerald, paired with barely-there heels for a year 12 formal. Our budget-friendly gowns, from blush cocktail dresses with ruffled capes to sapphire maxi frocks with pearl-beaded hems, offer endless details—think draped sashes or textured pleats—to make your own. With fabrics that feel like a dream and rewearable cuts, these formal dresses let you style your way, turning every glance into a compliment.
From beachfront weddings to glitzy corporate balls, Petal & Pup’s formal dresses are made to dazzle across Australia’s social calendar, keeping you effortlessly chic no matter the vibe. You’ll turn heads at your mate’s wedding reception with a sequined slip dress, its dusky rose glow catching every light, or stun at a winter ball in a jacquard evening gown with a sweetheart neckline in deep burgundy. For a garden vow, a floral maxi dress in pastel mint with lattice detailing flows with romantic ease, while a tailored sheath dress in classic black with metallic embroidery nails an awards night. With prints like bold geometrics or delicate blooms and details like split skirts or rosette accents, our formal dresses keep you comfy and fabulous, ready to make memories from first dance to final toast.
