Wedding season is well and truly in bloom Down Under and so we find ourselves desperately rummaging through our closets to find something, anything, to wear.

Once you’ve accepted the hard truth that nothing you own will do the job – and why rob yourself of the joy of shopping anyway? – you eventually turn to online shopping to find the perfect formal dress.

Perhaps you’re after something elegant for your next soiree or a flirty little number for an upcoming gathering; the good news is there are a number of retailers offering all kinds of styles and sizes to suit your needs.
