Product Overview
- Sparkle Factor: Radiating starburst rhinestones across bust, bodice, and hips
- Silhouette: Sculpted mermaid with thigh-high slit and sweeping train
- "Wow" Detail: Open crisscross back finished with a chic knotted bow
Own every entrance in shimmer satin that catches the light from every angle. A starburst of rhinestones sculpts the waist, while a daring slit and liquid train turn every step into a photo moment.
Stylist's Tip
For the open back and spaghetti straps, use clear body tape to secure the neckline and a low-back, adhesive bra for a seamless look. Steam shimmer satin from the inside on low heat and let the hem cool on a flat surface to keep that glassy finish camera-ready.

Helpful Information
How will the rhinestone starburst photograph under flash vs. natural light?
The prong-set rhinestones are arranged to radiate from center, so they catch multi-directional light. Under phone flash, the stones create high-intensity points that emphasize the waist shaping. In natural light, the shimmer satin diffuses the sparkle for a smoother glow. For portraits, angle the bodice slightly toward the light source to maximize the starburst effect without blowing out highlights.
What undergarments work best with an open, crisscross-back mermaid gown?
Choose an adhesive, push-up cup or low-back strapless solution and finish with body tape at the neckline for security. A seamless thong or bonded short prevents lines over ruching at the hip. If tailoring, ask your seamstress to add discreet hook points beneath the bow for optional clear straps—useful for long dance nights without changing the open-back look.
