Aurora | Silk Maxi Shirt Dress

Some dresses suggest luxury. The Aurora announces it. Lightweight silk falling from a shirt collar into a full-length button-through maxi dress, with long sleeves and cuffs, patterned with an oversized baroque print in rich, bold colours from shoulder to hem — the ideal dress for a beachside resort dinner, a holiday evening, the kind of look that only needs gold jewellery and the right attitude.

"The Aurora is the dress I choose when I want to feel like I'm somewhere beautiful, even if I'm not. The baroque print is the detail that makes it: rich, maximalist, and the silk keeps the whole thing feeling completely natural. Green and Gold is bold and opulent. Blue and Gold is dreamy and luminous. Layered gold necklaces, flat sandals or heeled mules. That's it." — Sarah Mitchell, founder of Valora New York

✔ Shirt collar with deep button opening — a classic shirt collar opening into a plunging placket; wear fully buttoned as a maxi dress or open as a fluid layer over swimwear or a jumpsuit.

✔ Long sleeves with cuffs — full-length sleeves with a neat buttoned cuff at the wrist; roll up for a relaxed look or wear long for evening elegance.

✔ Full baroque floral print — rich, ornate patterns in a classic baroque style covering the entire dress, the kind of print that reads as luxurious from across the room.

✔ Full-length maxi silhouette — falls clean to the floor in a fluid, relaxed line, a length as natural in flat sandals as it is stunning in heeled mules.

✔ Versatile styling — fully buttoned as a fluid maxi dress, open as a dramatic beach cover-up, or cinched at the waist for a more defined silhouette.

✔ Lightweight silk — airy and fluid, it drapes beautifully day or night in warm weather, and packs easily without losing its shape.

✔ Two bold colours — Green and Gold for bold, opulent maximalism. Blue and Gold for dreamy, luminous elegance.

Baroque print. Chiffon-like fluidity. Holiday luxury in a single button.
