Fit & Construction
The boned bodice provides structure through the sweetheart neckline, while the lace-up back allows adjustment for a closer fit. The mermaid silhouette follows the body's shape through the waist and hips before opening into a flared skirt. Allover lace and embroidered tulle create texture throughout the fitted design, while stone accents add subtle sparkle that catches the light with movement.
