Frocktober: my fave frock

October 29, 2025 Carly Findlay Leave a Comment

Frocking up my way to support ovarian cancer research.

Did you know that the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF) was established in 2000 and is the leading independent funder of ovarian cancer research in Australia.
They seed-fund brilliant scientists across the nation to develop ways to better detect, treat and prevent ovarian cancer. Your donation dollars will help continue their amazing work.
Donate to my Frocktober fundraising page. Thank you!

I’ve always loved to dress up, but even more so since my Ovarian and Endometrial Cancer diagnoses in 2024. Fashion is fun, defiant and allows me to take up space – something that isn’t always afforded to disabled women. I love bright colours, big sleeves, bold prints and statement dresses.

Today’s prompt is “favourite frock”. I have so many favourite frocks, so these pics are my fave pics from the Frocktober ambassador photoshoot. I am wearing Aje dress over Suprë top, Dinosaur Designs bangles (from stylist) and rings (my own) wicker sunglasses and gem headband (from stylist), Therapy Shoes pink boots and necklaces. Stylist extraordinaire was Karinda Mutabazi

Gallery: three still photos of Carly, a woman with red skin and short dark curly hair, wearing a purple floral dress with big sleeves, hot pink boots, a stack of necklaces, jewelled headband and big bangles and rings. Each pose is defiant and joyous. The background is purple and teal.
