Maticevski Wistful Gown in Ivory Dresses
The Maticevski Wistful Gown is an authentic Ivory Dresses from the Maticevski Resort 2026 collection, cut in 100% Polyester; Lining: 93% Silk, 7% Elastane. It is available now at Luxury Shoes , a curated luxury retailer specialising in designer ready-to-wear with guaranteed authenticity and worldwide shipping. It carries the Maticevski signature: sculptural draping and bonded fabrication that works cloth into structure for the body. This is the approach that made Toni Maticevski one of Australia’s most collected eveningwear designers.
Wistful Gown treats a cream fringe cloth as architecture for the body. The silhouette is voluminous, starting with a structured, almost columnar bodice that gives way to a dramatically tiered skirt. The tiers are exaggerated, with each layer cascading downwards, creating a sense of movement and flow. Made in Melbourne in a cream fringe finish, it is built for red-carpet evenings and black-tie galas.

How to Style the Wistful Gown
- Let the silhouette lead: Maticevski builds volume and structure into the cut, so keep the rest quiet. A sleek chignon and a fine diamond stud are usually all the Wistful Gown needs.
- Anchor the line: a pointed heel and a small structured clutch echo the architectural shape and lengthen the leg under evening light.
- Balance the volume: where the Wistful Gown in Ivory carries drama at the shoulder or hem, keep jewellery spare so the 100% Polyester; Lining: 93% Silk, 7% Elastane does the talking.
- Occasion styling: Style it with a bare shoulder and a metallic sandal for evening, and a sharp mule for a gallery night.

About Maticevski

The house treats fabric as architecture for the body, working bonded crepes and techno mesh into sculptural silhouettes that hold their shape without corsetry. Maticevski shows at New York Fashion Week and Australian Fashion Week, and his eveningwear is worn by Jennifer Hawkins, Rebecca Judd, and the actor Rose Byrne. The label remains a Luxury Handbags editor favourite for red-carpet and occasion dressing.
“Maticevski dresses demand attention. Because the silhouette is so complex, I keep the rest minimal. A sleek ponytail and a pair of diamond studs are all you need to let the Wistful Gown do the talking.”
