Our “MADE TO ORDER” styles are limited-edition treasures, crafted just for you when you place your order. Instead of sitting on racks waiting for a home, these pieces are made after you’ve chosen your size. This approach helps us cut down on fabric waste and avoid leftover stock—keeping things kinder to the planet and oh-so-sustainable.

Why do we run pre-orders?
Why do we run pre-orders?
Put simply:
Pre-orders guarantee your place in line for a dress that won’t be restocked. Ever.
When you preorder:
- You get a discount (patience should be rewarded).
- Your dress is made just for you — no guessing, no scarcity panic.
- You shop sustainably by choosing slow fashion over churn-and-burn trends.
It’s fashion for grown-ups with taste.
The wearable equivalent of a deep breath.

Introducing the “I’m on a boat mentally, don’t talk to me” print — bold red lobsters marching in perfect little rows like they’re late for brunch at Martha Stewart’s house.
It’s loud.
It’s ridiculous.
It’s summer energy with claws.
This is the skirt/dress/top you wear when:
✨ you’re sick of beige minimalism
✨ you want strangers to applaud you at Bunnings
✨ you deserve maritime-themed joy
✨ you need a serotonin spike shaped like a lobster
The colours? A flawless coastal aqua with poppy red.
The vibe? Hamptons but drunk.
The energy? “I will eat oysters at 11am and you can’t stop me.”
Meet The Connie — the dress for days when you want to look like you tried…
without actually trying.
She’s soft. She’s swishy. She has that flattering slanted V-neck that magically makes everyone look luminous, and a silhouette that moves like a daydream. The hidden side zip keeps everything smooth and comfy, while the midi length brings that perfect “I have my life together” energy (even if you absolutely do not).
Made from a soft cotton-poly blend with a gentle stretch, Connie is your new throw-on-and-feel-pretty piece — brunch, work, date night, school pickup, book club, wandering a vintage market… she handles it all.
