Description

With five distinct views, Azure is a mini wardrobe in one tidy package! With a dress and skirt in two lengths and a separate sleeveless top, you'll love mixing and matching pieces.

The Azure bodice is semi-fitted with a jewel neckline and button closure in the back; it can be lined or finished with an all-in-one facing.

The skirt is striking with alternating diagonal gathered panels and can be worn on its own or integrated into a breezy tiered dress.

• View A is a below-knee dress with two tiers that ends just below the knee.

• View B is a maxi-length dress with three tiers that ends below the ankle.

• View C is a cropped sleeveless top that hits just below the natural waist.

• View D is a below-knee skirt with an elasticized back and two tiers that ends just below the knee.

• View E is a maxi-length skirt with an elasticized back and three tiers that ends below the ankle.
