From the Nadine Merabi website: Meet NINA Gold; figure-hugging in luxurious sequin, this is the perfect sophisticated midi dress. Made from our exclusive gold stretch sequin fabric.This classic silhouette has a fully boned and fused under corset that cinches in the torso and waist for that perfect silhouette.
