Dubai Frocktails is a community event for sewists to get together, make new friends and admire each other’s handmade outfits.
Inspired by other Frocktails parties worldwide, we are hosting Dubai Frocktails for the first time in February 2024 at the legendary QE2.
We welcome sewists of all abilities from Dubai, our lovely neighbouring emirates, or wherever. Anyone can join in! The idea is that you wear something you have made yourself. You can sew a new garment if you like, but it’s also a great opportunity to wear an older outfit that you feel deserves another outing. And despite the name, you don’t have to wear a dress. We want this to be an inclusive event, so wear what makes you happy!
Every penny made from ticket sales goes towards making Dubai Frocktails a fabulous party. As this is our first time hosting this event, please bear with us as we do our best to get all the finer details right; apologies in advance for any hiccups. We will surely make this an unforgettable event with delicious food and drinks, exciting prizes and beautiful handmade garments!
Sound good? Come and join us!
