Alémais Dress Colours: Green, Blue, Pink, White and Yellow Dresses

Alémais dress colours run brighter than most designer labels: green, blue and pink are the three most searched, followed by white and yellow, and almost every dress mixes several shades in a print, patchwork or embroidery. Alémais, the Sydney label founded in 2020 by Lesleigh Jermanus, builds each collection from an artwork or a colour, so the colour is usually the reason to buy. This guide sorts the current dresses by their main colour and tells you what each shade is good for.

Searches spell the brand both ways, Alémais and “Alemais”, and both lead to the same dresses. We grouped them using the colour filter on our Alémais page, which tags each dress by its dominant shade. Printed dresses carry several colours, so treat the groups as a guide to the overall effect rather than a strict swatch.

Green Alémais dresses

The Alémais green dress is the most searched colour alongside blue and pink, and green is a colour the brand handles well, from sage and olive to brighter leaf tones. The Rosette Silk Mini Dress is the short silk option and suits a summer party. The Bath House Midi Dress and the Iris Midi Dress are longer and easier for daytime.

If you prefer a shirt shape, the Velma Shirtdress is green in a relaxed button-front cut. Green is a sensible wedding guest colour because it rarely clashes with a bridal palette; our Alémais wedding guest dresses guide picks the most suitable.

Blue Alémais dresses

Blue is the colour Jermanus has linked to the Sydney sky, and it appears in most collections. For an Alémais blue dress to wear by the water, the Dorian Linen Mini Dress and the Oceane Mini Dress are the casual choices. The Surrealist Summer Midi Silk Dress is the printed silk midi, and the Villa Romantica Midi Dress is softer and more romantic.

For evening, the Yasmine Beaded Mini Dress Blue puts the brand’s beadwork on a short silhouette, and our Alémais beaded and sequin dresses guide covers more of that family. The Donovan Corded Midi Dress uses raised cording as texture rather than print, a good option if you want blue without a busy pattern.

Pink Alémais dresses

The Alémais pink dress is searched as often as green and blue, though the range is smaller. The Valentina Midi Dress is the polished choice for a lunch or a christening. The Papaya print comes in several shapes; the Papaya Sundress is the summer version and the Papaya Mini Dress the shorter one. A pink print looks warmest with tan leather and gold jewellery.

White Alémais dresses

An Alémais white dress is rarely plain white. The brand uses a white or cream ground as a canvas for embroidery, which keeps a pale dress from looking bridal. The Giddy Embroidered Midi Dress and the Hazel Smocked Embroidered Midi Dress are the longer options, the Hazel with a smocked bodice. The Pegasus Embroidered Mini Dress is the short version.

For a softer cream, the Oleander Midi Dress sits in the ivory family. White and ivory linen show creases more than prints do, which some people like and others do not. If you are dressing for a wedding, avoid head-to-toe white unless the couple have asked for it.

Yellow and orange Alémais dresses

The Alémais yellow dress is a summer purchase almost by definition. The Sol Mini Dress and the Lolita Mini Dress Lemon are the short options, and the Flame Midi Dress is a longer, warmer yellow. The Dahlia Shirtdress puts the colour on a shirt shape for daytime. In orange, the Orange Blossom Spliced Midi Dress uses the patchwork technique described below. Yellow and orange suit golden and olive skin especially well and look best with natural textures: raffia, woven leather, wood.

Floral, patchwork and embroidered Alémais dresses

Many of the most recognisable Alémais dresses have no single colour at all. The Alémais patchwork dress joins panels of different prints; the brand calls this “spliced”, and the Poppy Spliced Mini Dress is a good example. The Alémais embroidered dress is the white family above, plus multicoloured pieces such as the Hazel Embroidered Midi Dress.

For a floral or bold print, the Marjorelle Embellished Midi Dress carries several colours at once, with embellishment on top. These are the dresses to buy if you want one Alémais piece that reads instantly as the brand. Our best Alémais dresses list picks favourites by occasion, and the mini, midi and maxi guide sorts the same dresses by length.

Choosing a colour, and how the dresses fit

Colour is personal, but print scale matters as much as shade. A small, busy print reads as one colour from across a room, while a large placement print makes a stronger statement. If you are unsure, start with green or blue, which are the brand’s most consistent colours and the easiest to wear with neutral accessories.

Fit does not change with colour. Alémais sizes on the AU/UK ladder from 4 to 16, and the brand recommends your usual size; read our Alémais size guide before choosing between two sizes.

Alémais dress colours around the world

Australia

Australians search for Alémais more than anyone, and the brighter colours are worn widely there: yellow and pink for summer weddings, green and blue for the races and long lunches. The Alémais summer collection arrives in Australian spring.

United States

The US is close behind Australia in brand searches, and US searches for “Alemais dress” outnumber those from the UK. Subtract four from the Australian size: an AU 10 is a US 6. Bright blue and white embroidered dresses suit East Coast summer weddings and resort travel.

United Kingdom and Europe

The UK is the brand’s third market for searches. UK sizes are the same number as Australian sizes, and EU sizes add 28, so an AU 10 is a UK 10 and an EU 38. Because the seasons are reversed, a colourful Alémais dress bought in the British autumn often waits for a winter holiday or the following summer, and the green and blue silks are the most useful at a northern summer wedding or Royal Ascot.
