Loved by Sarah Butler: The Dress Edit

From effortless everyday styles to dresses made for evenings out, Sarah Butler is back with Carraig Donn, and this time she’s sharing the dresses she’s loving for the new season.

A self-confessed tomboy, Sarah admits that dresses aren’t always her first choice but a few of her Carraig Donn favourites might just have changed her mind!

“I’m a self-confessed tomboy, but Carraig Donn have definitely converted me with these dresses” Sarah says.

For her Loved by Sarah Butler Dress Edit, Sarah has picked four standout styles, each with something a little different to offer. Think flattering silhouettes, beautiful autumnal shades, easy-to-wear fabrics and, of course, a few practical details that make all the difference.

First up is the Burnt Orange Satin Maxi Dress from Pala D'oro, priced at €50.

The rich burnt orange shade feels perfect for the new season, while the satin finish adds an elegant touch. Sarah particularly loves the thoughtful details of this style, making it a great option for those looking for a dress that feels both flattering and comfortable.

“The knot detail is great if you have a larger bust, and I love that it has sleeves to cover the tops of your arms,” Sarah says.

The A-line shape creates an easy, flowing silhouette, while the knot detail at the bust adds definition. Pair it with heels and statement jewellery for an occasion, or keep accessories simple for a more understated look.

The Kathleen Midi Dress With A Practical Twist

Next on Sarah’s list is the Kathleen Burgundy Cotton Blend Shirt Long Sleeve Midi Dress, also from Pala D'oro and priced at €50.

Burgundy is one of those shades that instantly feels right for autumn, and this shirt-style midi dress is an easy addition to any seasonal wardrobe.

But Sarah’s favourite detail? The pockets.

“Pockets!” Sarah says, and really, what more could you want?

The long sleeves and midi length make this a versatile style that can be dressed up or down. Add boots and a jacket for a relaxed autumn look, or accessorise with jewellery and heels when you’re heading somewhere special.

Sarah’s Favourite: The Blue Corduroy Dress

The standout favourite from Sarah’s edit? The Blue Corduroy Shift Long Sleeve Embroidered Detail Midi Dress from Rowen Avenue, priced at €50.

In fact, Sarah loved it so much that she wore it to The Saw Doctors concert.

“I love this dress. Cord is back in fashion and I love styling it with knee-high boots,” Sarah says.

The blue corduroy gives this dress a relaxed, nostalgic feel, while the embroidered detailing adds a feminine finish. Styled with knee-high boots, it’s an effortless autumn outfit that feels both current and easy to wear.

For Sarah, this is proof that a dress doesn’t have to feel overly feminine or fussy, the right styling can make it feel completely effortless.

Sarah particularly loves the combination of the V-neck and sleeves, creating a flattering shape while still offering plenty of coverage.

It’s also a perfect example of the kind of dress that has changed Sarah’s mind about wearing dresses.
