Fit & Construction
The strapless corset bodice combines sheer panels and visible boning with intricate beading and embroidered sequins that create dimension across the cat-eye sweetheart neckline. The pointed basque waist extends the fitted line through the torso, while the mermaid silhouette follows the waist and hips before opening into a dramatic flared skirt. Embroidered sequin mesh adds continuous sparkle throughout the gown. A lace-up corset back allows adjustment through the bodice, and separate spaghetti straps provide an additional styling option.
