Aura Dress

Papercut Patterns Aura Dress / Skirt

A statement piece you can wear all year round, this wrap style dress features an elegant wide v-neck, captivating balloon sleeves and a curve shaped wrap piece connecting to the ties which can be wrapped round to sit at the front or back. The Skirt version would be fab paired with a sneaker, heel or boot for year-round wearing as would the dress layered with leggings and boots for the cooler seasons and fresh in a light cotton with sandals for warm weather!

We made a Papercut size 8 (which is similar to size NZ 20) for Nicky using 3.3 metres of our Caper Vintage Finish Linen (140cm wide) and needed 1 metre of our White Stayflex Fusible Interfacing. No modifications were made to the pattern and we think the fit looks pretty good on Nicky! She felt very comfortable with the amount of overlay in the front of the skirt, but if you are worried about showing a little too much leg you could always adjust the angle of the curve from the hem up to the tie at the front of the skirt.

We can't wait to try out the skirt version!

Caper Vintage Finish Linen

We love the drape and subtle sheen the linen lends to this style! We're pretty obsessed with the idea of a two-tone colour blocked version, inspired by Sonya from our Brisbane team's wonderful dress here! There's so many fun colour combinations to dream up from our Vintage Finish Linen range or even two Gingham Linen colours, the options are endless.
