The strapless option has an elastic enclosed neckline for a secure fit. The cami style has straps with optional elastic for added support. Both are finished with a shelf bra with exposed or enclosed elastic. Choose from 6 inseam options: shorts (3” or 4.5”), cropped (23”), or pants (28”, 29.5”, or 32”). Plus optional inseam pockets. Aurora is such a quick sew, your closet will soon be full of playsuits. It’s perfect to wear it alone, layered over your favorite tee, or with a jacket or cardigan over top!
