Fit & Construction
The structured bodice features sweeping beading and stone accents that highlight the cat-eye sweetheart neckline and define the natural waist. Sheer insets create subtle contrast while emphasizing the fitted shape, and vertical trails of sparkle continue down the satin faced jersey skirt. The fabric follows the waist and hips before opening into a dramatic mermaid flare. A lace-up corset back allows adjustment through the bodice for a more personalized fit.
