Inside the New OnceWas Collection – Australian Designer Dresses

The OnceWas Spring Collection has arrived, bringing fresh colours, natural fabrics, and effortlessly feminine silhouettes. Known for blending structure with softness, OnceWas continues to define modern Australian design. Elegant, wearable, and timeless.

This season’s pieces feature relaxed tailoring, breathable blends, and muted pastels that transition seamlessly from day to night. It is a collection made for real life, polished enough for special occasions yet comfortable enough for everyday wear.

At Ferguson Finch, we are excited to showcase the latest arrivals from this celebrated Australian designer, with styles that capture the ease and refinement women love about OnceWas.


Why Invest in Australian Designer Dresses

When you buy from an Australian designer brand, you are choosing quality construction and thoughtful design that lasts beyond trends. OnceWas dresses are created with longevity in mind, using breathable blends and tailored fits that flatter real bodies. Investing in a designer piece means fewer fast fashion purchases and a wardrobe that stays relevant season after season. Each item from the OnceWas collection combines craftsmanship and practicality, offering pieces that feel elevated yet effortless for everyday wear.


The OnceWas Aesthetic: Feminine, Structured, Timeless

The OnceWas aesthetic sits between polished tailoring and relaxed femininity. Expect sculpted waistlines, flowing sleeves, and subtle detailing that elevate each garment. The brand’s neutral palette and delicate prints make layering simple, whether you prefer minimalist looks or statement textures. It is this balance of strong lines softened by movement that has made OnceWas one of Australia’s most loved designer labels.

How to Style OnceWas This Season

To get the most from your OnceWas clothing, focus on versatility. Pair a structured dress with neutral sandals for daytime outings, then switch to heeled boots and a statement jacket for evening events. For workwear, layer a OnceWas blouse beneath a blazer or add a belt to cinch a flowy silhouette. The brand’s colour story of soft clay, ivory, and muted blue works well with natural accessories like woven bags or gold jewellery.

Including OnceWas pieces in your spring rotation ensures every outfit feels elevated yet approachable.
