Phase Eight

Phase Eight is an occasionwear brand that also sells workwear, rather than the other way round. The depth is all in the event categories: occasion dresses, mother-of-the-bride outfits, jumpsuits, cover-ups, bridesmaid dresses and a small premium bridal range that its sister brands do not attempt. If you have an invitation and a date, this is one of the first places to look.
