Silk outfit for Henley
The Henly Royal Regatta and the dress code, what to wear.
The traditional summer season events such as Ascot Ladies’ day, or the Henley Regatta are occasions where you can really dress up. Part of the summer season is the Henley Royal Regatta – for which there is a dress code and to quote from the Henley Royal Regatta site: ‘Those attending the Regatta in the Stewards' Enclosure must dress in accordance with long-established tradition. Gentlemen are required to wear lounge suits, or jackets or blazers with flannels, and a tie or cravat. Ladies are required to wear dresses or suits with a hemline below the knee and will not be admitted wearing divided skirts, culottes or trousers of any kind. Ladies are encouraged to wear hats. Similarly, no one will be admitted to the Stewards' Enclosure wearing shorts or jeans. Members are particularly asked to bring this custom to the attention of their Guests, to ensure that the standards are maintained and to avoid the possibility of embarrassment of a Guest being refused admission.” They go on to say that there is not a dress code for those attending, but not in the Stewards Enclosure, but are encouraged to enter into the spirit of things. Another suggestion is that very large hats should be avoided as a large hat might obscure the view for someone who wants to watch the rowing.
This elegant outfit in two pieces has been created from very dainty silk georgette fabric that has been hand marbled for the dress and hand painted and hand pleated silk for the coat. A romantic outfit that is perfect for all those special summer occasions, evening wedding dinners and parties, a luxury cruise or for an unusual wedding outfit, whether for the bride, her maids of honour or the mother of the bride. The dress is lined with white silk and tiny beads decorate the neckline and the straps. The tailcoat has beaded bands down the front and across the shoulder as well as all around the hem giving weight and movement to the coat.
