From petty drama to unexpectedly sweet moments, there’s never a dull moment. But since the real chaos unfolds at the dinner parties, we can’t help but obsess over what the couples wear each night.

Take Janelle’s revenge dress from 2023, for example. Or remember that iconic bodysuit Coco wore? The outfits just keep getting more outrageous each season.

Which got me thinking—if I were ever on this wild reality TV ride, what on earth would I wear?

So, I set out to curate my dream MAFS dinner party wardrobe.

Sizes: 4 to 16

Colour: green

Key features:

  • Silk-like material
  • Straight neckline
  • Spiral ring detail
  • Non-stretch material
