Bias-draped in silk, dyed in an ombré wash from pale flesh tone into a deep, smoked amber at the hem.Sheer, second-skin sheerness throughout, with an asymmetric draped neckline that crosses the body on the bias, held by invisible straps so the fabric appears to float without visible support. Internal corset boning built into the bodice, cinched with a grosgrain belt and finished with a lace-up closure at the back for a fully adjustable fit. Floor-length, column silhouette, hand-finished hem.
