With five distinct views, Azure is a mini wardrobe in one tidy package! As the brand name suggests: Closet Core Patterns design 'core' patterns for your wardrobe, i.e. a capsule wardrobe!
The Azure: 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 elasticised back and two tiers that ends just below the knee.
View E is a maxi-length skirt with an elasticised back and three tiers that ends below the ankle.
