Discover the Rachel Gilbert collection at Ballantynes, a curated edit of occasion dresses and evening wear from the Sydney-based designer label known for luxurious fabrications, considered construction and the kind of craftsmanship that makes a dress feel like an event in itself. Founded by Rachel Gilbert, the brand has established itself as one of Australia's foremost occasion wear labels, a go-to for women who want something genuinely beautiful for a wedding, a gala or a night that deserves more than the ordinary. Each piece is designed to be worn with intention: bias-cut silhouettes in silk and satin, intricate pleating, hand-applied embellishment and fabrications chosen for the way they move. The Rachel Gilbert collection at Ballantynes includes statement pieces, available in the South Island exclusively through Ballantynes.
