The horse is at the heart of everything Angeliza creates. As her lifelong companion and teacher, the horse is a symbol of freedom, endurance, and spirit — the essence of every cowgirl’s story. Living on your own terms, wild yet purposeful; qualities reflected in every dust & grace® design.
Whether it’s the fabric, the cut or the placement of a pocket, the influence of the horse can be seen in the brand’s attention to detail, durability, and an unspoken bond with the land.

LadyRider Sculpt Jean
Aussie denim meets cowgirl attitude.
Made in Melbourne for women who actually ride. Cut to sit right whether you're in the saddle, in the yards, or in town after. The kind of fit that has you forgetting you're wearing them, which is exactly the point. Free shipping on every order, Australia-wide.
Designed to fit and flatter:
- Sculpting butt-lift tucks that shape without squeezing
- Concealed tummy panel that smooths and holds, no dig, no muffin top
- Flat inner seam, so long days in the saddle don't end in chafe
High waist that sits higher at the back, no gap, no chill, no pulling it up all day
Story of the Designer
Born from real need. Built for real riders.
Angeliza Wanstall grew up on a cattle station in Central Queensland, where the land teaches you young: be resilient, be resourceful, and waste nothing.
She got tired of women's western wear that looked the part but couldn't handle the work, gear made cheap, made fast, and made by people who'd never sat a horse. So she built the alternative herself. Clothing for women who ride, work, and live boldly, with sustainability and fair pay built in, not bolted on.
dust & grace is her answer. Apparel with purpose, made to look good, feel right, and stand for something.
Made with Integrity. Worn with Pride.

More Than Denim. It's a Movement.
JeanSisters is what's next for dust & grace. A program to take genuinely worn-in LadyRider jeans and remake them into premium pieces for city life, with the profits going back to rural women through entrepreneurial education and mental health support.
It's in the works, not live yet. But every pair sold now helps build toward it. When you buy in early, you're not just getting denim, you're part of where this movement starts.
Real stories. Real women. Real change.
