Aurora White Juliet Skirt

I recently purchased the Aurora white Juliet skirt from Aurora Skirts Dancewear on Etsy. When I first opened the package, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I didn’t know how comfortable the waistband would be or if the fit would work for me. But the moment I put it on, I was completely won over. The Juliet skirt’s white chiffon material is beautifully lightweight and flows effortlessly—it’s become an instant favorite.

This full-circle skirt falls just at my knees, which I find to be the perfect length. The waistband is soft, flexible, and surprisingly comfortable—it offers a snug fit without ever feeling tight. This one is a regular length, and the Juliet skirt also comes in:

  • Short: 19–20 inches
  • Regular: 21–22 inches
  • Long: 23–24 inches

While the price point ($70) is on the higher side, it’s important to note that each skirt is hand-sewn with care and supports a talented small business 💖. If you’re hoping to snag one at a lower price, the shop may offer deals toward the end of the season.

There is a slight fray at the bottom hem—I’m not entirely sure if that’s part of the intended design, but it gives me a little pause as it may lead to additional fraying with repeated use. Due to that and the high price point, I gave it an overall rating of 4 out of 5 buns.

The Juliet skirt is back in stock, and the shop is officially open! The owner offers so many beautiful handmade pieces throughout the season—and I already have my eye on a few more. If you’re looking for something elegant, unique, and made with love, now is the perfect time to browse her Etsy store.
