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.

Sizing:
Our 0-20 size range is based on a B cup bust with an average height of 5'-6". Please note that B cup does not refer to bra sizing, but rather the difference in inches between high and full bust. A 2" difference between those measurements is equivalent to a B cup (a difference of 1"= A cup, 2" = B cup, 3" = C cup etc.) If the difference between your high bust and full bust is higher than 2", you may need to make a full bust adjustment for select patterns.
