Stylist's Tip
The sheer corset bodice is designed to be the centerpiece, so keep your jewelry understated—opt for delicate drop earrings and a slim bracelet.

Helpful Information
How does the lace-up back affect the fit, and should I order my usual size?
The lace-up back provides approximately 2-3 inches of adjustment, which can accommodate minor size fluctuations. However, this gown features a fitted silhouette with structured boning, so we recommend ordering based on your largest measurement according to the designer's size chart. Our fit verification team will review your measurements and contact you if an adjustment is recommended to ensure the bodice and hips fit comfortably without gaping or pulling.
Will the beaded embellishments feel heavy or uncomfortable during a long event?
The beadwork is strategically placed and securely attached to lightweight mesh, which distributes the weight evenly across the gown. The sheer corset bodice with boning provides excellent support, preventing the gown from feeling heavy on the shoulders or hips. Most wearers find the gown comfortable for extended wear, though we recommend trying on heels similar to what you'll wear to ensure you're comfortable with the overall weight and length during movement.
