She knows what she likes.

I’m 56, I live in Australia, and I love a good dress. Not a dress that wears me, a dress that lets me get on with my day.

Every piece in this shop is one I would wear myself: to a garden lunch, a wedding, the school gate with the grandkids. If it doesn’t pass my test, it doesn’t go in the shop.

Four things I check before anything goes in the shop.

  • If I have to hold my breath, it's not for me.
  • If I can't sit down comfortably, I'm not standing for it.
  • Colour is not just for the young.
  • A good dress should survive a second helping.

I know the feeling.

The things my friends and I grumble about over lunch. So they're the first things I look for. — Gisèle

“Everything seems made for women half my age.”

I know! That's why I look for pieces with a little more room around the tummy and hips, and a waist that actually feels comfortable.

“I want my arms covered, without overheating.”

Light, floaty fabrics and sleeves that give just the right amount of coverage. Lovely and cool, even on a 30-degree day.

“I don't want to look frumpy, but I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard.”

A bit of colour, a lovely print and something that moves beautifully. Clothes that feel like me.

“I'm never quite sure about ordering clothes online.”

I understand. Every piece has a size guide, and you've got 30 days to return it if it's not quite right. How returns work

Ready when you are.

Everything I picked, in one place. Take your time, and send it back within 30 days if it isn't right.
