ROMY The Brand x Loralee Jade Strapless Tailored Midi Dress Size S BNWT RRP $319

Some pieces are more than clothing. This is one of them. The Romy The Brand x Loralee Jade Strapless Tailored Midi Dress is a wearable artwork — a collaboration between Tasmanian fashion label Romy and Lutruwita-based abstract painter and poet Loralee Jade. The print is Loralee's: watercolour blooms in soft pinks and blues on a white base, painted with the same intuitive, emotional hand that has made her one of Tasmania's most celebrated contemporary artists. Wear it and you carry something of her with you. The dress itself is structured and considered — a fitted strapless bodice in a tailored twill, a cutout back with tie fastening, zip closure, and a midi length that gives the print room to breathe. The kind of event piece that needs nothing else. Brand new with tags, RRP $319. Size S Shell: Polyester twill; Lining: Cotton Original watercolour print by Tasmanian artist Loralee Jade Watercolour pinks and blues on white base Strapless fitted bodice Cutout back with tie fastening Zip closure Midi length Care: Hand wash Made in China Condition: Brand New With Tags (BNWT) Measurements (taken flat): Bust: 88cm Waist: 68cm Length: 112cm About Loralee Jade: Loralee Jade is a contemporary abstract painter and poet living and working on the North-West Coast of Tasmania, where she has transformed her childhood home into her studio. Her practice draws on memory, grief, and personal experience — works that hover between figuration and abstraction, dissolving into layers that attempt to give shape to compassion and tenderness. “When I paint, I lose track of time. Something is happening, but I don’t always know what it is. It feels much like staring into a fire or holding onto the fragile recollection of a dream — fleeting, wordless, and deeply felt. For me, painting is less about what we see and more about what we feel.” Celebrated for work that is sensuous, bodily, and emotional, Loralee communicates through colour and form rather than words — allowing colour to act as a bodily sensation. Her paintings explore motherhood, childhood nostalgia, and the body’s relationship with its surrounding environments. About Romy: Born in Tasmania in 2022, Romy was founded by Emma Petterwood with a clear philosophy: small runs, considered design, and pieces made to last. Every Romy piece is made to be loved and worn for years — not seasons. Each collection starts with an original print — one-of-a-kind artworks developed with artists and translated into wearable pieces you won’t find anywhere else. No fast fashion, no trend-chasing. Just the instinct and connection that happens when something truly clicks. Romy’s roots are in Tasmania, but the work spans the globe — an all-female Australian team, long-standing maker relationships, and collaborations with local artists on every print. Every piece is designed with purpose: to last, to be loved, and to live a full life in your wardrobe.
