The ten to buy first

1. Verona Gown in Black, $480

High straight neckline, low open back, back split: the gown that fits the most women and goes to the most events. The Verona guide.

2. Marbella Gown in Black, $480

The house bestseller, a square-neck ruched bustier with a cinched waist. The Marbella guide.

3. Monroe Gown in Cherry Red, $490

Strapless, folded bodice, in the signature red; the most hired Effie Kats gown in Australia. The Monroe guide.

4. Inaya Gown in Ivory, $440

Slightly off the shoulder in ivory: a registry-office dress at a fraction of a bridal price. The Inaya guide.

5. Audrey Gown in Wine, $480

Straight neckline, exaggerated low back and an over-the-shoulder drape, in wine: the autumn wedding-guest gown.

6. Tia Bodysuit in Black, $220

The house bodysuit and the cheapest way into the label; with the Kayson Maxi Skirt it is an evening look for the price of one gown.

7. Kayson Maxi Skirt in Black, $330

The Tia’s partner: stretch crepe, fitted through the hip, ruching that can be worn front, side and back.

8. Olympia Cape in Black, $440

The house cape, over every gown for the arrival and off at the table; in black, ivory and red.

9. Bowie Blazer in Black, $540

The house blazer, over a bodysuit by day and a gown’s shoulders at night; the brand pairs it with the Mereen Midi Skirt.

10. Thalia Gown in Black Sequin, $690

All-over sequins, strapless with a satin band: the entry to the showpieces and the New Year gown.

The four gowns to know

Start with the continuity gowns, because they are what the house is built on and they come back in stock when a shade sells out. The Marbella Gown ($480 to $520) is the square-neck bustier gown with the cinched waist, in ten colourways from black and ivory through cherry red, wine, coffee, ice blue and two pinks, plus black and shiraz velvet for winter. The Verona Gown ($480 to $490) has a high straight neckline and a low open back, in nine. The Monroe Gown ($490 to $520) is the strapless one, with a folded panel at the bodice, in eight. The Inaya Gown ($440 to $520) sits slightly off the shoulder with a back split, in seven. Between them they cover every black-tie and wedding-guest brief at a price below most of the Australian occasion houses. The best Effie Kats gowns ranks all fourteen worth buying.

The open-back gowns

The Audrey Gown, the Havilland Gown and the Hayward Gown (all $480) are the open-back gowns, each in four to five shades: the Audrey with an over-the-shoulder drape, the Havilland with fine bodice detailing and a drape at the back, the Hayward off the shoulder with ruching through the hips. The Addison Gown ($510) is strapless with a soft front detail and movement in the skirt, in black, ivory, cherry red, a pale parfait and a deep chocolate plum. If a wedding calls for one gown that photographs from the back as well as the front, this is the group.

The top of the range

A small tier sits above the crepe. The Isabel Gown ($1,270) pairs a crepe column with Mikado satin, an asymmetric peplum and a detachable train, and the Russian Gown ($1,370) is crepe with satin detailing and an open back. The Kezio Gown ($980) and the Thalia Gown ($690) are the sequin pieces, Thalia in black sequin and a pale crystal. The Ricardo Gown ($880) is the satin, with ruched hips and a train, and the Eloise Gown ($880) is the feather-trimmed crepe with a daring open back. The Chyllie Gown ($1,560) is embellished all over with custom red chilli-shaped sequins. The Orabella Gown ($580) is the sculptural one, long-sleeved and high-necked with a wave of linework down the body, in black, red and a slate grey the brand calls squid. The velvet and sequin guide covers this tier.

Separates: the system

The bodysuits are the way in. The Tia Bodysuit and the Esper Bodysuit ($220) are stretch jersey, fitted, in black, a deep black cherry, a pale aspen blue, a vanilla and a red. They are cut for the Kayson Skirt and Kayson Maxi Skirt ($330), which take the same shades so a bodysuit and skirt in one colour read as a gown. The Charleze Bralet and the Charleze Skirt ($230 and $290) are the two-piece, in black and ivory, with the Charleze Cape over them. For tailoring, the Bowie Blazer ($540) in black and red goes with the Mereen Midi Skirt, and the Camden Pant ($250) is the slim high-waisted trouser with split hems that the brand styles under everything. The bodysuits and skirts guide and the capes and tailoring guide go piece by piece.

Capes and short dresses

The Olympia Cape ($440) in black, ivory and red is the cover-up for the arrival at a winter wedding, and there are Ashtyn, Liberty, Estella, Charleze, Selene and Kori capes beside it. For a shorter hem, the Harlem Blazer Dress ($590) is the tailored mini, the Alexia Mini ($390) the strapless mini with exaggerated hip detailing, the Primrose Mini ($580) its off-the-shoulder sibling, and the Alba Dress ($680) the strapless maxi with a detachable train in red and a steel blue.

Sizing and shipping

Everything is cut XS to XL, which reads as AU and UK 6 to 14, US 2 to 10, EU 34 to 42, to the brand’s published body chart, and the size guide carries it with fit notes by style. Luxury Handbags ships worldwide by DHL Express and FedEx, insured, with signature on delivery, the majority of US duties covered and a 14-day return window; the price guide compares every category with the brand’s Australian price.
