Corset top with flexible boning on the sides. Stays up beautifully, super flattering. I am never a strapless or fitted dress kind of gal but I abs love this. Unfortunately the event I bought it for ended up being freezing so I made a last minutes change. Not sure I’ll have anything to else to wear to, hope someonee else can enjoy! Tried on for pics bc flat lays just don’t do it justice. Embroidered and embellished, the colors are so stunning. 10/10 dress!
