Launched in 2021, our White Collection was created especially with Brides to Be in mind and was on one of our favourite projects of the year! Also ideal for other important occasions, such as Christenings and milestone birthdays - an all white outfit is always super special and standout style.
We were genuinely thrilled with the reaction and the best part of all, seeing you wear it. Â It's fair to say our Vivienne feather dress was the 'piece de resistance' and our most sought after style; you couldn't get enough!Â
With some more intimate weddings and those who decided to just go for it rather than wait for the 'big day' the Vivienne dress was so popular - and just perfect for the occasion: beautifully detailed, elegant and easy to wear.
We loved seeing all the different ways to wear it, from Tori's amazing emerald green heels...
to Pam's 'Day 2' celebrations in her Jimmy Choo wedding heels...Â
To our first bride of 2021 to wear it, with a stunning beaded headpiece
Â
We also loved seeing it worn for your Bridal Party - from Mother of the Bride
Â
to Maid of Honour! We love an all-white family look
We have decided to do a very small restock on this style, just because so many people asked and asked! So keep an eye out in early February... sign up to be notified by selecting your size & entering your email:
It was also amazing to see our White Collection worn for Hen Party celebrations, Vow Renewals and Bridesmaids! Whenever we're tagged in your photos we can't wait to open it up and see...
 For AW'21 we also launched our separates - tops, skirts & beautiful jackets to compliment our dresses / jumpsuits - Or to wear with your Wedding dress.Â
How beautiful does Robyn look for her NYE Wedding!
We have lots planned for Spring Summer '22 for the White Collection - it will continue to be part of our all year round range, offering a variety of special white styles you can always shop.Â
Keep an eye out for more over the next few months...Â
A much anticipated post in our 'Women in the Know' series: a chat with the super stylish Jennifer Wrynne!
A long time collaborator with the brand, we're so grateful to busy Mum & Milliner Jennifer for taking the time to share with us some of her best style tips. A regular at Ladies Days and international Race meetings, she knows a thing or 2 about accessorising, timeless style & how to plan a winning look!
Â
Be sure to take a look at her stunning hat designs https://www.jenniferwrynne.com
and follow her on Instagram for a behind the scenes insight to daily life and all things fashion https://www.instagram.com/jenniferwrynne/?hl=en

1. You always look so polished! What are your top tips for looking so elegant? especially when getting ready time is limited! Aww thank you so much!I’m not sure if those lovely compliments are fully true but thank you so much. I love a look to be fully complete from head to toe. I always think of Kate Middleton and how she dresses. From her hair style to the polish on her toenails, she always looks immaculate from head to toe. While I am nothing like Kate Middleton (!), I love to pay attention to every detail as much as possible as I feel an outfit isn’t complete without the little details. Â

Â
2. What’s the best way to plan your look for Ladies Day? Do you start with your outfit, headpieces or accessories? I always start with the outfit and work my accessories around it. I’m in the fortunate position where I can make a hat to compliment my outfit so I can play around with different colours & styles. Once I have my hat made, I then choose shoes and a bag. My jewellery is usually quite minimal when I’m wearing a hat as I like quite decorative hats so there’s never much need for both. Â

Â
3. What’s your favourite type of Occasion look? Do you love jumpsuits as well as dresses? Oh yes, I’m a huge jumpsuit fan! My favourite occasion look is usually something bright and colourful. I love structured dresses - Something with perhaps shoulder pads or peplum detailing. I also love detail - whether it’s lace, feathers, applique, I always like a dress with extra touches (Hence why I love the 8th sign dresses so much!). I also have to feel comfortable in what I’m wearing - Fabrics which are good quality, figure flattering and complimentary to my body shape.Â

We're so lucky to work with this stylish & genuine lady, who was a loyal customer of The 8th Sign before we started to work together - here's a few more of her elegantly styled looks in our designs, particularly the black Bardot dress
- which we had to relaunch after she wore it & there was so much demand! Renamed the 'Jennifer Bardot' (now sold out again!!)

We had a little rare time off! After 3 attempts at a holiday abroad we finally made it to Mallorca, a chance to test out some brand new bump-friendly styles & have some screen-free time with family.
Having taken on a Distribution Centre this year to fulfil all our orders, it's the first holiday we've had in 6 years where your orders could continue to be sent without disruption and a big new delivery received; it was a relief to know everything was being handled and no one disappointed!Â
At 5 months pregnant it was a fun opportunity to test out some of our new styles that can fit in a bump! I sized up to a 12 in the Gina disc hem dress - LOVED this bright yellow for the last night of our trip, perfect with a tan & great stretch for comfortable wear.Â

Â
I also roped in my lovely Mum! She's a shy model but its amazing to see her in our designs; I genuinely believe in no limits on age for wearing what you love - it's terrible to hear 'I can't wear that' - you can wear what you feel great in!Â
She loved the Skye jumpsuit; a different style for her but she loved the comfort, the lightness of the flowing chiffon & the way you can easily wear a bra!
 Â
She also had the Ravello lemon print dress. an IDEAL summer style - bright, fresh & figure-flattering wrap style.

You can't beat a white dress on holiday, can you?!
and this one has POCKETS! there's just something about pockets in a dress...Â
One of our newest arrivals, just arrived online this week - it was the first chance I had to wear it & it was so good with a bump. Lightweight & airy, fitted across the bodice but comfortable as a 'non maternity' maternity style.Â
Again I sized up for a little more room.Â

Â
I also tried out this stunning blue dress, the 'Delphine' floral ruche midi - not yet in stock but arriving early August.
With a shirred elastic waistband, it's stretchy & so comfy! A style that could grow with you & lots of room for easy movement - trust me I wore it for dinner and running after a toddler at the mini disco...
It would be gorgeous for a Summer Wedding or baby shower, of course wearable for Mums-to-be and without a bump too. Â It's a style I look forward to wearing next Summer too once baby is here, a timeless & flattering silhouette.Â
Â
So thank you for your patience with any queries - keeping up with instant messenger, emails, Instagram & Facebook was a bit of a juggle.. (even though I wasn't on the cocktails!)
We've lots of exciting new styles to come, more beautiful Summer pieces and new additions to our White Collection. Keep a lookout on our Social Media for some sneak peeks and details of when new pieces will be here.
