Buy the Aura Dress and Top sewing pattern from I AM Patterns. I am Aura, a simple and elegant A-line dress with a high-low hem. I can also be made as a top or as a dress with a ruffle finishing above the knee. My rounded neckline allows you to slip me on easily without the need to sew a closure. I have a bust dart, and I am lined to the chest to beautifully finish the armholes and neckline. Although simple to sew, I deliver great impact, so I am perfect for both beginners and experienced sewists.
