Fit & Construction
The lace-up corset back allows adjustment through the structured bodice, while the basque waist creates a defined transition into the full jacquard skirt. The cat-eye sweetheart neckline adds a sculpted shape across the bust, and the separate spaghetti straps offer another way to wear the dress. Pockets are incorporated into the full skirt without changing its ball gown silhouette.
