Wine Tour with Willow
Wine tour at Batch Winery in Waiheke
Don't freak out, I am not suggesting you bring a girl named Willow on your date, but instead I’m suggesting our gorgeous maxi tiered dress that is bound to get your man blushing. Our Willow Dress in Rose definitely brings that romantic energy and moves with such grace as you walk. Perhaps the Wine tour at Batch Winery in Waiheke is the perfect setting for you. This dress combines femininity and comfort perfectly with its flowy fit and three tiered maxi skirt that begin at the waist, creating an elongated and elegant figure. These features are what makes this dress ideal for a day of vineyard hopping, wine sipping and spending time with your other half as it ensures that you can look good, feel good and focus on the moment even down to that last sip.
Styling our Willow Dress in Rose:
Our team at Stitch Ministry loves how styling a garment can completely change the look and create something unique and fun. Our Willow Dress in Rose is a fashionista’s dream. The gorgeous Rose colour creates a great base to add natural accessories or if you are feeling brave bring in a complimentary colour - we loved pairing it with blues and reds, for example. In the context of a wine tour date for Valentines day, wearing some wedges or sandals will probably be best juuust in case we get a little tipsy! Add on a sweet hat and some sunnies because, you know… #protection!

Babes at the Beach
A romantic picnic at your fave beach
Who doesn't enjoy a beach picnic! Why not go all out with a grazing board, some chilled wine and a stunning outfit to make your valentine's day special. A beach picnic creates a great opportunity to pretend like you are overseas on the coast of Bali or Hawaii and really get that escape we all need. To bring those holiday vibes to life, our Ruby Dress is here to help. Miss Ruby comes in White and a Paisley print which are both perfect for the beach scene. The Ruby Dress is a gorgeous maxi dress style with adjustable tie up straps which is topped off with a little tassel for that added bohemian look. This dress is fully lined with a satin-feel slip, which is super comfortable and cooling on the skin.
Styling our Ruby Dress in White:
An additional style element that this dress has is the waist tie. This element can be used to add structure to the look by cinching you in at the waist creating an hourglass effect. Or, it can be taken off for that more flowy and beachy look. Play around with the positions of the tassels too, some people like them tied on top of the shoulders, others prefer a more subtle look and tie them more to the back.
Without the belt: creates a floaty & relaxed look
With the belt: creates a bit more shape, can assist in portraying a more formal look and adding in some accessories to push that.

Home is where the Heart is
Date night at home:

If you haven’t got any plans to go out this Valentine’s, then have a little date at home with your loved one. Get dressed up and have fun! You can create your own setting, light some candles, play some Marvin Gaye….joking…unless? Haha, whatever makes you feel comfortable and in the moment. Speaking of comfort, our Ella Top in Gold and Drape Skirt in Black are just the things you need to accommodate that desire for comfort and classiness.
