How It Moves
Liquid satin falls in smooth folds from the pointed waist, giving the full skirt movement without layers of tulle. The slit allows more room for walking, while the corset holds the upper portion in place. The lace-up closure lets you adjust how the bodice sits, and the detachable straps offer two ways to wear the neckline.
