Full details

Its key benefit is a striking, architectural design featuring a unique asymmetric halter neckline with gold-tone hardware, offering a refined yet confident statement. A potential caveat to consider is the specialized nature of the design, which may require specific styling to achieve its full effect.

It is fully lined for a polished finish.
