Suzie Turner creates personally designed gowns, composed by the most skilled hands, using the finest fabrics, intricate embroidery, and lavish embellishment. Her advice for dressing for Ladies Day at Royal Ascot? "Keep it unique, keep it classy: bring out the best of your wardrobe for this special day, as if you were attending your best friend's wedding."
Take a look at some of Suzie's bespoke designs for a guide on what to wear wherever you spend Ladies Day.
Sartorial standards are understandably high in an area where one may be rubbing shoulders with royalty. For women, think formal dress, with hemlines no higher than just above the knee and sensible necklines with straps of at least one inch wide and nothing off-the-shoulder or asymmetric.
Named in honour of the monarch who founded Ascot racecourse, formal dress still applies but the rules are slightly more relaxed than the Royal Enclosure - and therefore the perfect area to employ a more interesting neckline or sleeve.
While this section of the grounds doesn't officially impose a formal dress code, Royal Ascot's request is racegoers 'dress in a manner as befits a formal occasion'. It is recommended that ladies wear smart attire with a hat or fascinator, but with no restrictions on necklines, here’s where you can show your style credentials with an of-the-moment off-the-shoulder number, or abandon sleeves all together. Just remember, as Suzie says, to"keep it unique, keep it classy."
