The fitted and boned bodice , boasts a floral lace overlay. The cinched in waistline is accented by a rolled pipped detail beneath tulle, which accents the elegant tiered cut of the skirt-line. The 5 tiers of the skirt, rendered in matching floral lace gather in soft pleats along each layer, which are sewn to a tulle skirt base. Finished with a second layer of Tulle petticoat and an ivory rayon lining.
