Fit & Construction
The structured corset bodice combines visible boning, lace appliqués, beading and stone accents to create texture and sparkle across the sweetheart neckline. A pointed basque waist extends below the natural waistline, creating an elongated shape through the torso. Layers of glitter tulle and tulle expand into a full ball gown skirt with airy volume and movement. The lace-up corset back allows adjustment through the bodice, while hidden pockets add convenience. Separate spaghetti straps are included for another styling option.
