This brand is beautiful! I actually ended up getting married in a Maiocchi dress! I love the fabrics — lots of Asian inspired prints, and fun patterns like babushka dolls. The cut of these dresses is usually very flattering — they are made for women, even with curves and all. There is always a range of 50s style dresses — lots of A-line skirts, full cut skirts and cinched waists. Very feminine and womanly. It’s a local Brisbane brand, made in Red Hill. It’s not the cheapest brand of clothes, but they are really well-made and the fabric is good quality. The city store also has a range of cute jewellery, bags and shoes.

For me Maiocchi is one of those places where you love to shop, but have a hard time PRONOUNCING the name to friends. («It started with May? errm myoki? maykekekoke? I’LLGOOGLEITOK») Aside from my dyslexia, this is probably one of my favourite stores to take a gander in. I love the friendly staff and serene atmosphere, the products are clearly high quality and the cuts and fabric hark back to a more traditional Japanese aesthetic. The store also displays a lot of local artists ware’s as well, from bags and brooches to intricate jewellery. This would make an ideal place for unique and lovely gift’s (In particular lookout for the teaset in the shape of a spaceman!)

A girl needs to be prepared with a dress for all occasions, right? Well, my one Maiocchi outfit is my going-out-somewhere-fancy-during-the-day dress. This could include the races, a high tea, a matinée or lunch at a fancy restaurant because I couldn’t afford the dinner menu. The criteria making it the perfect dress-up day dress is 1. The texture of the fabric make it suited for day wear 2. The Japanese inspired colourful prints make it stand out above other day dresses 3. The high waist and A-line flare makes it a dress you can flounce in and I do a lot of flouncing during all the above events. There’s no doubt that Maiocchi is an expensive brand and if your conscience needs any justification, try repeating this mantra ‘It’s so well tailored, it’ll last for years, the style will never go out of fashion, and you can dress it up or down with the right accessories effectively getting TWO dresses for the price of ONE.’
