Aeloo's garments are timeless, high-quality, and inventive. I personally own the Emipre Waist dress and I feel so special in this dress. I can attest to the perfect fit and quality craftsmanship. Every garment at Aeloo is a work of art. One of the features I love about the Empire Waist dress is that the full skirt is lined with another layer of cotton, not polyester.
