Spring racing carnival runs from Flemington to Randwick, calling for pieces with real presence trackside. Australian designer Acler's spring carnival dresses lead with maxi-length silhouettes, cut with sculptural precision through structured bodices and defined necklines. Off-shoulder and one-shoulder styles pair with ruched panels and asymmetrical draping, while a corset-inspired strapless bodice offers a fitted, floor-length alternative.

3D floral appliqué, placement prints and sculptural pleating bring texture and dimension to every spring racing dress in the range. Belted waists and peplum hems add definition through the bodice, and a detachable overlay top or skirt offers versatile styling within the one piece. Floral prints and tonal blues recur through the range, alongside black styles suited to more formal dress codes.

The collection moves across Melbourne Cup, Oaks Day, Stakes Day and Caulfield Cup, as well as Derby Day Dresses and Black Races Dresses dress codes, each shaped for its own moment on the calendar. For everyday race day dresses, the wider Acler racewear range spans midi and mini lengths, long-sleeve styles for cooler days, and satin or sheer finishes for a different kind of statement.

Designed in Australia and worn across the world.
