Up, up and away

Iconic Australian frock designer Leona Edmiston has broken with tradition. The Sydney-based wholesaler and retailer has extended her size offering for autumn/winter 2008 to accommodate women between 16 - 24.

Priced from $150 for a wrap dress to $350 for more elaborate garments, the collection is purported to be the first of its kind in Australia, with no designer brand increasing its sizing structure to that effect. Only select seasonal garments will be offered in the larger sizes, while pieces tagged between 18 and 24 will be sold through Edmiston's e-boutique only.
