The Boathouse Has Always Been Special ♡
Port Fairy is where it all began. For 30 years, Aunty Joan ran her little shop in an old boathouse by the water.
Now she's retiring, and to say thank you, she's giving something back with Joan's Retirement Sale, her very last picks.
Once they're gone, they're gone for good.

i love how easy it is to style. You can dress it up or keep it casual and it still looks put together. Really happy with the quality and how it feels.

I was going to order one. Then I saw you get 15% off when you order two. So I ordered two. Then I saw the three-piece discount and went back and added a third. My husband said I was being impulsive. I said I was being efficient. All three arrived and all three fit. He’s stopped complaining.

I bought the same dress in two colours with the discount. Still a little pricey, but both are lovely. The stitching is neat and the colours match the photos.

i ordered the wrong size by mistake , went one size too small. I emailed and heard back the same day with a clear answer. They walked me through exactly what to do. It was sorted without any drama. The replacement arrived and fit beautifully. I wouldn’t have ordered again without that experience.

My arms are not what they were. I don’t like drawing attention to them. I was nervous to order because the model in the photo is clearly decades younger than me. But the sleeves are long enough to cover what I want covered, and they don’t cling. Finally a brand that actually designs for women who live in these bodies.

I was a bit hesitant after past hassles with returns. They were lovely when I emailed about sizing, and the dress fits perfectly.
