THE colourful dresses flowing through the air as excited punters jump for glee is the best time of the year for Fourth Born owner Carly Hicks.

Fourth Born has made its name in Roma as a leading fashion store, catering for a variety of women of all shapes and sizes.

"It's always a fun time of the year, because I get to see girls step out of their comfort zone and I get to help them choose their perfect dress for the races," she said.

Ms Hicks said mid-length dress and full skirts were popular this season for race-goers.

"Metallic colours are in, and big print or floral inspired dresses will be a popular choice," she said.

"Some of our most popular brands are Cooper Street, Seduce, Honey and Beau, Finders Keepers, which are trending at the moment."

Ms Hicks said fascinators are no longer in, and woman are wanting a statement head piece.

"We will see a lot of race goers wearing statement head pieces and three dimensional elements will be popular," she said.

"Woman will be wearing wide length pants and jumpsuits will be popular.

"We are a fashion-forward store stocking higher end labels that you see in Brisbane.

"All of our products are at recommended retail prices and we also sell online."
