Fabric Details

100% cotton
Light weight fabric

Garment Care
  • Wash separately (or with other like colours), as your piece will bleed a little colour in the beginning. 
  • Wash only in cold water. Warm or hot washes will make your piece bleed more colour. Machine wash is fine.
  • Dry only in the shade. Direct sunlight will fade your piece.
  • Do not soak - this will cause dye to transfer around the garment, causing patchiness or stains.
  • Ironing is not necessary, simply hang your piece correctly when drying.

Cute Summer Dress

I always love a dress with pockets, and this one is very cute and lightweight. The black with gold details is very classy and it'll look good for a casual date and it's also comfortable enough for a lazy day in during a heatwave.

Really cute

Really cute. I specifically bought clothes here for the natural cotton and I appreciate that the dress is obviously hand made. It’s very light and breezy and comfortable. It’s slightly sheer so if you’re modest you might want to wear a slip, but it’s not that bad.

Duller colour

The colour of the garment in the adverts is what drew me to the dress. I loved that colour. Unfortunately, when it arrived, the colour was dull, not vibrant, and closer to purple. Very disappointed

Love this dress

I wasn’t sure I would like the colour of this on me when I ordered it. I was wrong, I love it and the dress cut is perfect it’s loose enough to hide a little middle age spread but still giving me a nice shape. I also had lots of flattering comments when I wore it for the first time. It’s going to be my favourite dress this summer for sure !

Perfect

I purchased two Aurora dresses and I love them. They are beautifully finished and made from a soft cotton which flows flatteringly on the body. I am usually a size AU 14 - 16 and purchased the XL. It’s perfect. These will be my go-to summer dresses!

I really like this dress, I have also one in plain colour. The fabric is so nice. I like the pockets which are very handy. The dress feels so comfortable to wear.

The Aurora dress fits well a bit long but that's no problem I can take it up. I was a bit disappointed in the colour - I thought it looked a lot brighter in the illustration . Never mind I am sure I will get lots of wear out of it. Thank you.

Hi I thought I ordered a maroon with pattern but received grape colour with subtle pattern not seen advertised. It’s ok I will wear the dress as it’s cotton for summer was what I wanted. it is just not
what I was expecting. Melanie

Hi Melanie, thanks for your feedback! We only offer the one colour in this piece that could be similar to maroon or grape - we call it 'wine'. We don't have variants of this colour, they are all the same. We do state that the print is 'subtle' in the product description, but please get in touch if you think you have been sent the wrong dress! We will of course replace it for free, all postage on us. Thanks again, Mel
