DRESSED Elly McLean *********
My styling and dress hire business One Fine Day Dress & Accessories hire has evolved organically from its inception in late 2018 from a collection of curated dresses hand-picked because of their cut, fit and uniqueness. It was born from my endless love of dreamy fashion and an eye for romantic dress designs from unique feminine designers. It has progressed now into a very busy styling and hire go-to for many of the best dressed and fashion savvy ladies of the Gold Coast. I have a bevy of local beauties I style on a weekly basis. I cater for all their fashion needs right through from best dressed race wear looks to the most coveted invite only gala ball events. A recent highlight for my business was an exclusive collaboration with Sonia Stradiotto Couture, stocking her elegant and glamorous ball gowns for our beautiful Gold Coast women to hire. Sonia’s luxury gowns are mostly one off runway pieces with incredible detailing and exquisite beading and they are only available exclusively through One Fine Day for hire.

I have personally curated my collection of dresses and accessories which I am proud to say sets me apart from other hire companies. Every dress, every accessory look is chosen by me and usually with a beautiful friend or muse in mind. My own personal style is what drives my decisions, but also I strive to create a style that flatters a women’s shape and enhances her femininity so that the dress makes a statement when you enter a room. Every women has a different body shape and personality so the key is to find what suits them and create a unique look for them that will make then the ‘belle of the ball’ no matter the occasion. It’s a wonderful journey, from the first appointment to the final fitting, that will take them through to an event and beyond.
