The Venice Collection - Four Original Watercolour Midi Dresses
Denise Wong Arts · Wearable Watercolours
The Venice
Collection
Four paintings. Four dresses. One city that has captivated the imagination for centuries — Venice, caught in light, water, and time, now folded into fabric you can wear.
These dresses began not in a design studio, but at a watercolour easel. Each piece carries my original watercolours — interpretive studies of Venice: its crumbling façades, gondola-lined canals, sun-warmed alleyways, and that unmistakable golden light that settles over the Grand Canal before nightfall.
The result is something between art and fashion: a wearable gallery. The midi silhouette — fitted at the shoulder, gently flared through the skirt — was chosen deliberately, so each painting unfolds across the body as it was intended: with movement, with space, with light.
Every dress is made to order, printed on a soft stretch fabric that drapes beautifully and moves with you. The colours are rich and true to the original paintings — deep canal blues, sun-bleached terracotta, the luminous gold of Venetian stone at midday.
Pockets, of course, are included. Because art should be practical.

Each dress is one-of-a-kind in spirit — printed from an original painting
No. 01
Corte del Sabion
Midi Dress
A sunlit study of one of Venice's lesser-known courtyards — terracotta walls, shuttered windows, the hush of a hidden campo. Warm amber, burnt sienna, and soft teal conjure a city that exists just off the tourist map. Wear it like a secret.

No. 02
Grand Canal Gondolas
Midi Dress
Painted in the last minutes of golden hour, when the Grand Canal turns the colour of liquid amber and the gondolas become silhouettes. Deep indigo hulls against a sky that can't decide between day and dusk. A dress for someone who likes to arrive just before nightfall.

No. 03
La Serenissima
Midi Dress
A view of a stone bridge arching over a narrow canal — dusty rose plasterwork, emerald shutters, the soft blur of laundry strung between windows. Cool aqua sky above, warm brick below. This is Venice as it looks when you stop to sketch it.

No. 04
Rio Tera Secondo
Midi Dress
A canal-side street in the evening — gondolas tucked beneath archways, ochre façades stacked with centuries of character, a sliver of teal sky above...an unmistakably Venetian impression.
