The elegant rounded neckline, is framed by a border of black glass bugle beads, which contour the neckline and slim shoulder straps. The blouson cut of the bodice, draws in along the fitted waistline, from which gentle pleats radiate upwards along the base the bodice and downwards below the waistline.
