The \u003cstrong\u003eRomy The Brand x Loralee Jade\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“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.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCelebrated 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Romy:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Romy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50883880452343,"sku":null,"price":149.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/5886\/9239\/files\/PXL-20260622_230734955.MP.jpg?v=1782204497","url":"https:\/\/secondhandnature.store\/products\/romy-the-brand-x-loralee-jade-strapless-tailored-midi-dress-size-s-bnwt-rrp-319","provider":"Secondhand Nature","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
