Product Type: Romance Was Born Silk Printed Mini Dress (Size AU 10)
Description: This Romance Was Born silk printed mini dress is a standout from the label’s mid-2000s collection, capturing the brand’s signature artistry and storytelling. Crafted from 100% pure silk, the dress features a cream base adorned with a striking trompe l’oeil print of cascading jewels, ornate bows, and shimmering tassels in rich gold, bronze, and black tones. The intricate print creates the illusion of draped jewellery, adding an opulent, almost couture-like feel to this wearable piece of art.
Cut in a sleeveless, straight silhouette, the dress skims the body beautifully and finishes above the knee, making it perfect for cocktail parties, gallery events, or as a collector’s piece for lovers of Australian designer fashion. A keyhole opening at the back is finished with a pearl button, adding a refined touch. Purchased new in the mid-2000s for $460, this rare design remains in excellent preloved condition — a true gem from the early days of one of Australia’s most imaginative fashion houses.
