Letter-from-rose-gwendolyn
A letter from Rose, Rowan & Rose, Sydney. November 2026
She wants to look fresh and put together on a warm day. Without spending the morning deciding what goes with what.
On the six things that made me choose the Gwendolyn, how it compares to what you have been wearing, and why it is $64.95 in our Retirement Clearance Sale.
This is the one.
I am Rose. On warm days, women tell me, getting dressed is the hardest part. The pretty tops never seem to go with the comfortable trousers, and the comfortable trousers never look quite smart enough.
I never accepted that a summer outfit had to be a puzzle.
The Gwendolyn is my answer. A relaxed printed shirt with matching trousers, in eleven lovely prints. There were six things I would not do without.
A complete outfit in one
A shirt and trousers that belong together.
This is what I love most. The shirt and trousers are made to go together, so the outfit is finished the moment you put it on. No second-guessing in the mirror.
★★★★★
"I put it on and I'm ready. It all just goes together."
Sara, Melbourne
A relaxed shirt that never clings
The loose shirt falls easily over the tummy and hips, with short sleeves for a little cover. Comfortable all day, and graceful without being tight.
★★★★★
"Loose in all the right places. So comfortable."
Angelique, Sydney
Easy trousers for long days
Relaxed, easy trousers.
The matching trousers are relaxed and easy to wear. Sit through a long lunch, walk to the shops, climb into the car. Nothing pinches, nothing pulls.
★★★★★
"The trousers are so comfortable. I wore them all day."
Miriam, Sydney
Light and fresh on warm days
The set feels light against the skin, so you stay fresh through holidays, sunny afternoons and long days out.
★★★★★
"So light. Perfect for our warm summer days."
Mariette, Palm Beach
Together, or on their own
Wear the pieces your way.
Wear the full set for a holiday or a casual outing. The shirt with white jeans. The trousers with a plain tee. Two pieces, many outfits.
★★★★★
"I wear the shirt with my jeans too. Two outfits in one."
Lisa, Palm Beach
Eleven prints, AU 8 to 24, one price
From soft florals to marbled grey.
Soft green, white and khaki for a calm, natural look. Dark blue and black for every day. Orange, red hearts and marbled prints when you want something a little different. Every size from AU 8/10 to AU 22/24 at the same price.
★★★★★
"Bought the green, then the white petals. Fits beautifully."
Lisanne, Parramatta
The Gwendolyn, against what you have been wearing
| The usual summer outfit | The Gwendolyn | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting ready | Matching top and trousers | One set, done |
| Shirt | Tight or plain | Relaxed, in a lovely print |
| Trousers | Zips and buttons that dig in | Relaxed and easy |
| Warm days | Heavy and sticky | Light and fresh |
| Choice | Two or three colours | Eleven prints, AU 8 to 24 |
I refuse to sell a woman summer clothes that turn getting dressed into a puzzle. That is the whole reason the Gwendolyn is in our shop.
Why it is $64.95
The Gwendolyn is part of our Retirement Clearance Sale. Rowan and I are slowing down, and we would rather our last pieces go to women who will wear them than sit on a shelf.
That is $64.95 for the shirt and the trousers together. Summer is almost here, and this is the set you will reach for again and again.
When a size sells out, it will not come back.

I have watched a lot of women try on the Gwendolyn. They hold up two prints and cannot decide. Then they put one on, see a finished outfit in the mirror, and they smile.
That is the moment summer dressing becomes easy.
Go and find your size.
With love,
Rose, Rowan & Rose
