The Aurora Kaftan Dress has a loose, flowy silhouette that looks great dressed down for a day of errands or dinner with friends. It's a versatile piece you'll find yourself reaching for repeatedly.
Aurora has two collar options – a whimsical collar with a front tie or a simple band collar – making it easy to customize the dress to fit your style. Make the dress with the optional ruffle hem for a playful, dreamy feel. Or, if you prefer, nix the ruffle to create a straightforward, casual closet basic that you'll wear repeatedly.
