Fit & Construction
Intricate floral-inspired beading and sequins cover the embroidered tulle, creating rich texture and allover sparkle. The strapless curved cat-eye neckline frames the fitted bodice, while the pointed basque waist extends the silhouette through the torso for a defined hourglass shape. The fit-and-flare skirt follows the hips before widening into a sweeping hem, with sheer-lined sections adding depth to the embroidered design. A thigh-high slit provides additional movement, while the open lace-up corset back allows adjustment through the bodice. Separate spaghetti straps are included for another styling option.
