Geometric lace. Dramatic puff sleeves. Aje feminine romance.
Product Description
A little bit romantic, a little bit dramatic, and unmistakably Aje.
The Aveline Broderie Mini Dress is crafted from intricate geometric broderie anglaise, creating a beautiful play of texture across the black silhouette. Short, voluminous puff sleeves are framed by scalloped ruffle detailing through the shoulders and neckline, bringing an almost vintage femininity to the otherwise contemporary shape.
Through the waist, the silhouette becomes more defined before releasing into a tiered mini skirt, where layers of frilled broderie create movement and volume. The contrast between the fitted waist and generous skirt gives the dress its particularly flattering shape.
It is the sort of dress that needs very little styling. Add strappy heels and jewellery for evening, or wear it with sandals and a basket bag for an elevated daytime look.

Provenance
- Aje was founded in Sydney in 2008 by best friends Adrian Norris and Edwina Forest, with the brand built around a distinctive tension between opposites: toughness and femininity, structure and volume, effortless dressing and statement occasionwear. Both founders brought an artistic perspective to the house, with Norris having trained at the Liceo Artistico Venezia and Forest having worked at fashion magazine RUSSH.
- That idea of duality is written all over the Aveline.
- Broderie anglaise is inherently romantic. Its intricate cut-out pattern, scalloped edges and delicate texture have long been associated with warm-weather dressing and a softer, more nostalgic idea of femininity. Aje takes that language and turns up the volume.
- Here, the geometric broderie gives the fabric an almost architectural quality, while the exaggerated puff sleeves introduce drama. The scalloped ruffles soften the shoulders and neckline, before the fitted waist pulls everything back into focus. Below it, the tiered mini skirt expands again, creating movement and a sense of occasion.
- It is this balance that makes the dress feel distinctly Aje rather than simply pretty.
- There is craftsmanship in the relationship between the lace and the silhouette: the broderie provides texture, the waist provides definition, and the tiering gives the fabric somewhere to move. In black, the effect becomes more sophisticated and slightly less overtly sweet, allowing the architectural qualities of the construction to come through.
- Aje describes its design philosophy as a balance between “untamed volume with structure”, and this dress is a particularly clear expression of that idea.
- The result is a dress with a distinctly Australian fashion sensibility: romantic without being precious, dramatic without becoming costume-like, and designed to make an entrance without requiring much else.
Collector's Note
Aje has built a recognisable signature around occasionwear that feels both feminine and sculptural. Volume, texture, dramatic sleeves and intricate fabrication are recurring elements of the house's design language.
The Aveline brings several of those signatures together in one very wearable piece.
The broderie is romantic. The sleeves bring the drama. The black keeps it cool.
A particularly good Aje piece for someone who likes their femininity with a little architecture.
