Each item is sold separately so that you are free to mix and match the colours as you wish. It also allows you to re wear the main outfit in a different way for your next occasion. For example wear the Críoa Dress now with the Bairbre Bow and the Cara Belt all in royal blue. Sheer elegance.
For your next occasion, buy the pink bow and belt and completely change the look and vibe of the whole dress. The navy and the duck egg are also beautiful together, as is the navy and the cerise pink. And can we take a moment for the red and cerise pink mixed together? Simply stunning.
Each season will see the introduction of a new set of accessories and new colours. So, the Críoa Dress will have a new style of shoulder strap next launch, there’ll be new sleeves for Ailbhe etc. Season after season you can get a new dress, without having to buy a new dress!
The last thing we want is for your Monessa Joan pieces to end up hanging in the wardrobe after their first initial wear. That is why we have designed the satin bows, sleeves and belts to be detachable. Once you remove the satin accessories, the stunning crepe fabric has much more relaxed feel. The Críoa Dress is the perfect dress worn bare for any special dinner or date night. I can see it on holiday for an anniversary meal or something like that.
The Ailbhe Dress when stripped of the wonderful Aobh Sleeves and belt instantly becomes a much more wearable dress. Lunch dates with friends, or the perfect work dress with a blazer if you have an important presentation.
And as for the tops and trousers! Team them with your chunky knits and runners, or style them with funky colourful jewellery and a flat shoe for a special date night. The possibilities are endless. Just promise us one thing, wear and love your pieces time and time again.
