Your order will be dispatched promptly, with confirmation sent by email within 24 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is something effortlessly poetic about this dress. The ground is hand-dyed to a soft, powdery lilac — a shade that shifts between lavender and grey depending on the light. Across it, a traditional jacquard weave lays an all-over pattern of small circular floral motifs in cream and champagne, giving the fabric a quiet dimensional richness that is entirely its own. The silhouette is deliberately generous: a relaxed tent shape that falls from a round jewel neckline in one graceful, uninterrupted line. This is a dress that feels as good as it looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach Aurora Moonlit Lilac is handcrafted in Vietnam by artisan weavers and makers whose silk traditions span generations. The jacquard fabric — an 80% silk, 20% viscose blend — is woven in small batches before being hand-dyed to achieve the distinctive Moonlit Lilac ground, a process that gives the colour its characteristic softness and depth. The circular floral motif that runs through the weave draws on a long tradition of decorative silk patterning in Vietnamese textile heritage. This is not a dress assembled quickly — it is constructed carefully, from woven fabric to finished hem, by hands that understand how silk behaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWear it to an afternoon wedding with pearl jewellery and silver kitten heels. Take it to the South of France where it moves gracefully through a morning market and a lavender-lit terrace dinner with equal composure. It suits a spring gallery opening, a long weekend in the countryside, or a first evening of a summer holiday. The hidden side pockets are there when you need them — quietly, practically, without interrupting the line of the dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aurora Moonlit Lilac is made in very small numbers. Its colour, achieved through hand-dyeing, will carry subtle variations from piece to piece — each dress a quietly unique interpretation of the same idea. A dress to return to, season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShell: Mulberry silk blend (80% silk, 20% viscose) — traditionally woven jacquard with all-over circular floral motif\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLining: Mulberry silk blend (80% silk, 20% viscose) — smooth and gentle against the skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-dyed lilac ground — subtle tonal variation is natural and unique to each piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelaxed tent silhouette — generous, forgiving fit that falls gracefully from the shoulder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound jewel neckline with thin shoulder straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHidden side pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaxi length: 135cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel is 168cm (5'6\") and wears UK size 8–10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in UK sizes 8, 10, 12, 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted in Vietnam by heritage artisan makers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited production run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry clean recommended; gentle hand wash in cool water as alternative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not tumble dry; hang or lay flat away from direct sunlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top:1px solid #E7DECB;margin-top:18px;padding-top:16px;font-family:inherit;color:#2B2622;line-height:1.7;font-size:15px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✓ Free 30-day UK returns \u0026amp; size exchanges\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e✓ Ships in our signature gift box — included as standard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e✓ Handcrafted in Vietnam, dispatched from our UK warehouse\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 10px;\"\u003e✓ As featured in British Vogue, Tatler \u0026amp; Grazia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-style:italic;color:#6B6258;font-size:14px;\"\u003eUnsure of your size?
