Alyce Paris 62018 Prom Dress

Soft mesh print features a subtle pattern or tonal variation printed or woven into the mesh fabric, creating visual depth without overwhelming color or design. Unlike solid mesh which offers uniform opacity and color, printed mesh incorporates gentle gradations, watercolor effects, or delicate patterns that add dimension while maintaining the lightweight, breathable qualities of traditional mesh. This creates an ethereal, romantic aesthetic that's more visually interesting than solid fabric without the boldness of dramatic prints. The "soft" designation refers to both the gentle hand feel and the muted, sophisticated nature of the print itself—perfect for creating dreamy, garden-inspired looks.

A keyhole cut-out is a small, strategically placed opening in the bodice—typically positioned at the center front below the bust or at the upper back—that reveals a glimpse of skin while maintaining overall coverage and support. Unlike plunging necklines or extensive cut-outs that can feel revealing, keyhole details are subtle and sophisticated, adding modern interest without compromising the dress's structure or your comfort level. The opening is usually small enough to maintain modesty while providing a contemporary edge that sets the design apart from traditional styles. When combined with elements like a sweetheart neckline and beaded trim, the keyhole becomes an elegant focal point rather than a dramatic statement.
