Special Occasion Dresses

Silk & Sawdust offers just the ticket when it comes to special occasion dresses, whether it’s a wedding outfit, party dresses, a mother of the bride outfit or a black tie dress, our selection of vintage designs will put a spring in your step and ensure you feel every bit the glamorous woman.

Thanks to the vintage inspiration, our special occasion dresses are wardrobe staples, to be dresses up or down, so you can feel confident you are going to get a lot of wear out of your chosen piece. And with each design only made in limited quantities, you can be sure to never spot two people the same Silk & Sawdust dress.

Each of our special occasion dresses is hand-tailored to ensure cut, fit and finish has all the charm and attention to detail as an original vintage dress, but with items ranging from the 1920s to the 1970s, you don’t have to worry about traipsing through old vintage shops and fairs.   What’s more, we only select the most beautiful and luxurious fabrics for the collection – think silks, linens, cottons, chiffons – fabrics that drape and flow like you’ve never seen before.

We also sometimes offer made-to-measure special occasion dresses, such as the Grace Kelly dress, whereby you provide your vital statistics and we create the dress just for you, so it fits like a glove. Or if you need to accessorise your outfit, Silk & Sawdust also offers a selection of beautiful vintage handbags, and vintage-inspired jewellery to ensure you sparkle all day or night long.
