Letter-from-rose-isabelle
A letter from Rose, Rowan & Rose, Sydney. October 2026
She wants to look as elegant as she does in a dress. She just wants to feel as comfortable as she does in trousers.
On the six things that made me choose the Isabelle, how it compares to what you have been wearing, and why it is $99.95 in our Retirement Sale.
This is the one.
I am Rose. For years my husband and I have watched women stand between two rails in our shop.
On one side, the dresses. Elegant, feminine, lovely in a photo. And then a breezy afternoon, a low chair or a flight of stairs, and you spend the day holding your skirt down.
On the other side, the trousers. Comfortable, practical, safe. And never quite special enough for a celebration.
I never accepted that a woman had to choose.
The Isabelle is my answer. A wrap-front jumpsuit with a wide waist belt and flowing wide-leg trousers. All the elegance of a dress, all the comfort of trousers, in one piece. There were six things I would not do without.
A wrap V-neck that frames your face
Timeless, and flattering on every figure.
This is the thing that caught my eye. The wrap V-neckline is elegant and timeless. It frames your face, lengthens the neck and flatters the figure without showing more than you want to.
★★★★★
"The wrap neckline is so flattering. I felt elegant the minute I put it on."
Sara, Melbourne
A wide belt that gives you your waist
One-piece outfits can hang straight down and hide your shape. The Isabelle has a wide waist belt that gently defines your middle, for a harmonious, feminine shape from every angle.
★★★★★
"The belt makes it. I have a waist again, and it's still comfortable."
Angelique, Sydney
Loose sleeves to the elbow
Gentle cover, light and loose.
The sleeves fall loosely to the elbow. You get gentle cover for your upper arms, without anything tight or hot. Perfect for a warm afternoon or an air-conditioned restaurant.
★★★★★
"Finally something elegant that covers my arms and doesn't make me hot."
Miriam, Sydney
Wide legs that flow like a long skirt
The trousers have a generous, flowing wide leg. Standing still, it looks like a long skirt. Walking, sitting or climbing stairs, it is comfortable trousers. No wind to worry about, no hem to hold down.
★★★★★
"Looks like a long dress in the photos, but I could sit on the grass at the picnic without a second thought."
Mariette, Palm Beach
Pockets, and a fabric that moves
Practical pockets for your phone or keys. A lightweight fabric that falls softly on the body and moves with you, from a long lunch to a dance at the end of the night.
★★★★★
"Pockets in something this elegant. And so light I forgot I had it on."
Lisa, Palm Beach
Nine colours, S (8–10) to 5XL (22–24), one price
White, Black, Burgundy, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Light Pink, Green and Brown.
White and black for the classic look. Burgundy, green and brown for autumn tones. Yellow, orange and pink for the days you want to shine. Every size from S (8–10) to 5XL (22–24), at the same price.
★★★★★
"I bought the white for summer and the burgundy for a birthday dinner. Same perfect fit."
Lisanne, Parramatta
The Isabelle, against what you have been wearing
| A dress or trousers | The Isabelle | |
|---|---|---|
| Elegance | Trousers never feel special enough | Wrap V-neck and defined waist |
| Comfort | Dresses blow up in the wind | Wide-leg trousers that move like a skirt |
| Arms | Sleeveless or tight sleeves | Loose elbow-length sleeves |
| Getting dressed | Top, bottom, belt, cardigan | One piece and you are ready |
| Choice | Black or navy | Nine colours, up to 5XL |
I refuse to sell a woman something that asks her to choose between looking elegant and being comfortable. That is the whole reason the Isabelle is in our shop.
Why it is $99.95
The Isabelle is part of our Retirement 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.
Lunches, celebrations, holidays and evenings out. Flat sandals and a woven bag by day, gold jewellery and heels at night. One piece for all of it.
When a size sells out, it will not come back.

I have watched a lot of women try on a jumpsuit like this. They expect to feel like they are in overalls. Then they see the wrap neckline and the belt, and they stand a little straighter.
And when they sit down on the fitting-room stool without adjusting a thing, they smile.
You can have both. Go and find your size.
With love,
Rose, Rowan & Rose
