Stylist's Tip
Let the intricate beading take center stage by pairing this gown with delicate drop earrings and a slim bracelet instead of a necklace. Choose seamless nude undergarments or stick-on cups to keep the sheer bodice and open back smooth, and finish the look with strappy metallic heels that echo the shimmer in the jersey skirt.

Helpful Information
How does stretch shimmer jersey compare to traditional satin for an all-night event?
Stretch shimmer jersey offers the polished look of satin with added comfort and flexibility. It has enough elasticity to move with you—whether you’re walking the stage or dancing—so it’s less likely to pull across the hips or ride up at the slit. The subtle sparkle woven into the fabric also photographs beautifully under both natural and artificial lighting.
What undergarments work best with the sheer beaded bodice and open back?
For this style, most shoppers prefer adhesive cups or a low-profile stick-on bra to keep the neckline clean while providing coverage. If you’d like extra shaping, a high-cut thong shaper or seamless briefs in a skin tone close to yours will disappear under the stretch jersey skirt. Avoid traditional bras or shapewear with high backs, which can compete with the strappy open-back design.
