Frocktails Name tag

Beginner

Every Frocktails outfit needs a finishing touch — and what better than your name, stitched by hand?

Five weeks out from Frocktails, join Ali Dibley for a fun, relaxed embroidery session where you'll hand stitch your very own name badge to wear on the night.

Choose your colours, pick your style, and leave with something completely one-of-a-kind pinned to your outfit.

It's also the perfect way to kick off your Frocktails preparations — meet your fellow Frocktailers, get inspired, and come back the next day for Kelda's Finishing Frenzy if you need to get your outfit over the line.
