The Tabitha dress is a perfect blend of modern and classic. The shape of the dress makes it a universally flattering one with the fitted bodice that falls into a full skirt giving the wearer that gorgeous hourglass illusion. The asymmetric neckline and low-ish cut back make it modern and add a fun and unique dimension. The satin fabric in that purple colour screams luxury and style. Finished off with pockets and a horsehair insert in the hem for extra fulness in the skirt, the Tabitha is a grown woman's dress. So here are some ideas on how to wear the Tabitha Dress for multiple occasions and events. Take our recommendations and make them your own.
Wedding Guest/Evening Semi Formal
The Tabitha dress is most obvious as a choice for a semi-formal evening event, a cocktail dress code or as a wedding guest. To play off beautifully against the luxurious jewel tone of purple here, we've styled it with pearl and marble details. The off white colour palette sets off beautifully against the purple and is a more dynamic choice than gold or silver, although those will also work very well.
Daytime Chic
The Tabitha is the kind of dress that works as well in a more laid back daytime setting when you still want to look put together as it does at night. Think afternoon tea, polo match or any high end luxury event in the day where you want to look timeless, chic and classy. Styled here with flat shoes to give the dress a more laidback feel, but also to make it easy for you if you need to move about more as your day calls for it. Sleek black leather accessories keep the look clean and understated wi loosing any of the classy chic feel we’re going for. But ee to substitute those for any simple understated accesories you already have. And don’t worry if the bag is too small, as your Tabitha dress already has pockets to carrtras.
Modest Boardroom Chic
At first glance, the Tabithat doesn't immediately scream covered up. But it can work beautifully when you need a modest look. A button down underneath the dress will give you a corporate femme look that stands out beyond the office. Sleek black leather boots pair beautifully against the luxurious sheen of the fabric allowing the look to maintain a higher end feel no matter where you wear it. Finish off with simple accessories to keep the modest feel going.
Bridesmaids Style
As requested by our Mode Queens who are looking for bridesmaids options, here’s a style option for the bride who chooses the Tabitha for her girls, And P.S.
