Rebecca Vallance Regent Dresses: The Draped Jersey Collection, Explained
Rebecca Vallance Regent Dresses: The Draped Jersey Collection, Explained
The short answer: the Regent dresses are the Rebecca Vallance Resort 2026 premium jersey collection: draped, fitted dresses finished with a cape overlay and a gold metal flower trim. Choose the Regent cape overlay maxi dress for a wedding, the Regent black mini dress for dinner and the Regent one shoulder black maxi dress for black tie. The black pieces sit in our designer little black dresses guide. Rebecca Vallance is a Sydney occasionwear label founded in 2011, known for structured, lined dresses cut to AU sizing, which matches UK sizing.
Regent is the brand’s answer to an easy evening dress. Where most Rebecca Vallance occasionwear is built in bonded crepe and boning, Regent is cut in a stretch jersey of 78% polyester, 17% nylon and 5% elastane, so it drapes close to the body and packs small.

How to wear Regent
Let the gold trim set the jewellery. Every Regent but the blue maxi carries a gold metal flower, so a gold earring finishes it.
Use the brooch twice. On the asymmetrical maxi the brooch is detachable, so the same dress reads plainer without it.
Pack it. Jersey travels better than crepe; roll it rather than fold it.
Regent around the world
United States. One shoulder maxi dresses draw about 1,300 searches a month, peaking in spring. A US 4 is a UK 8.
United Kingdom. The blue maxis suit summer weddings; the black mini suits a winter dinner. Take your usual UK size.
Europe. A UK 10 is an EU 38 and an IT 42.
Gulf. The Regent Long Sleeve Maxi Dress gives long sleeves and a high neckline.
