About us
Dyspnea
(dis-knee-ah) shortness of breath
In the wee hours of the morning in 2013 having just completed making a sample, we were feeling the pressure of deciding on a brand name. We hit Google hard and stumbled across the medical term dyspnea. It just made sense! We design pieces to take your breath away ๐ฅ๐

Whether youโve been following us since 2013 or are a new Dyspet, we want to personally welcome you to our lil community โจย After all the highs and lows it took to get here, it makes us weak at the knees with joy and gratitude each day we hear from you and watch it grow ๐ญ๐๐
Now blessed to have garment makers who allow us to make things to order, one by one, we knew we wanted to make Dyspnea as inclusive ๐๐ฑ๐ผโโ๏ธ๐๐ฉ๐ฝโ๐ฆฑ๐ย as possible and reduce wastage โป๏ธ๐ย Made to order means we can make our favourite pieces in any size, any colour, for only 10% more than normal! Weโll have it fully hand-beaded and with you in just 6-8 weeks.
We are so proud that EVERY person can be a Dyspet and own a piece that fits them perfectly! ๐ ๐ฝ
Jam & Rach
We met in the last year of TAFE studying Advanced Fashion & Textiles in Perth, Western Australia. We bonded over heartaches and have been besties ever since ๐ญWe started designing one-off party pieces and before we knew it, our friends and hot strangers wanted us to make some for them! ๐ซ
We both worked for labels learning the biz and meanwhile, Dyspy was evolving into something way bigger than our rumpus room could handle - so we made it legit and left our jobs ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฑ We grew slowly so that we didnโt compromise the quality, our personal touch, our happiness and friendship ๐

โWe had the best teachers ever and wouldnโt be here now if it wasnโt for Lindaโs constant sample rejections, Belindaโs skills in pattern making and Janelleโs encouragementโ - Jameenย
โWe are so proud of what the brand stands for and the small team weโve built over the years, the whole process was very organic for us. We just followed our gutsโ - Rach
