Stylist's Tip
Let the bow and beading do the talking by choosing streamlined accessories—slim crystal earrings, a dainty bracelet, and a clutch that matches your bead color. Because stretch satin jersey hugs the figure, consider seamless undergarments and a heel with a secure ankle strap to keep your stride confident with the high slit.

Helpful Information
How should I steam or press the bow detail and satin jersey on style 70971?
Stretch satin jersey and bow accents respond best to low, indirect heat. Use a handheld steamer on the underside of the fabric, keeping the head a few inches away to avoid water spots or shine marks. Shape the ruffled bow with your hands as you steam to maintain volume, and never press the beaded bodice directly with an iron, as heat can damage the crystal settings.
What’s the best way to keep the strapless bustier bodice secure through a long event?
For maximum security, start with a snug but comfortable size based on your ribcage measurement, not just your usual dress size. Many wearers layer a strapless longline bra or adhesive cups beneath the bodice for extra grip. Add fashion tape along the neckline edge if you have a fuller bust or plan to dance a lot, and always do a “reach, twist, and sit” test at home to confirm the bustier stays in place before your event.
