The Augusta is a cocoon shaped dress or shirt. It features a notched collar with an asymmetrical lapel, french darts and an inverted box pleat at the back. Both top and dress have a mitered split hem that sits at mid-hip for the top and below the knee for the dress. Choose from a short cuffed sleeve or a long straight sleeve; both are interchangeable with the dress or the shirt.
