Encrusted entirely in glittering black sequins that catch the light from every angle, this architectural masterpiece delivers dramatic symmetry and a flawless, body-sculpting fit. It is the premier choice for a luxury black-tie wedding guest, a high-end New Year's Eve gala, a standout prom night, or a daring alternative gothic wedding dress.

The Bodice: Designed with a striking, strapless asymmetric straight neckline, reinforced with light internal boning that masterfully structures, shapes, and accentuates the figure.
