Drawing inspiration from the timeless elegance of Audrey Hepburn, the AUDETTE dress combines classic lines with playful volume. The fitted bodice has a two-piece front with soft gathers that accentuate the figure while allowing freedom of movement. Darts at the back create a clean, tailored finish, and a discreet zip ensures a smooth fit. The skirt falls in a generous sweep, moving gracefully with every step.

Cut at a midi length, it creates a look that is both refined and effortless. Practical side seam pockets are hidden within the gatherings. Alternatively, you can opt for the softly draped front pocket, which adds a delicate touch to the design. The version without the draped pocket has an additional front skirt panel for extra width, gathered at the waist. If you wish, you can also finish the skirt hem with a bias binding. This way, the hem looks really neat as it flutters.

Designed for dancing, strolling, and everyday wear, the AUDETTE dress pays homage to mid-century elegance, combining simplicity with a subtle sense of drama.
