How It Moves
The corset construction supports the upper portion of the dress, while the lace-up back allows the bodice to be adjusted. The mermaid skirt stays narrow through the upper section before opening into a wider tulle flare. Glitter tulle adds movement and catches the light as the lower skirt moves.
