fitted cocktail dress Short Ruched Sweetheart 29170 Light Blue / 00 beaded ruffle skirt with scallop edge Primavera Couture 4017 - Sequin

I did change up the bodice a little to make this dress suit my tastes, and I drew inspiration from several late 1880s la Mode Illustre fashion plates found on the Bunka Gakuen database

Crafted from fine stretch Peach net fabric, the intricate micro embellishments have been delicately hand stitched in across the fabric, creating a mesmerising lace-like pattern that adds a touch of sparkle and shimmer to the dress

Sample sizes to try on go up to size 30, so they are pretty inclusive in terms of sizing

For the marinade, try other seasonings such as black pepper, thyme, oregano, or, for a kick of heat, a pinch of cayenne pepper

It all depends on the flavour profile youd like to achieve

The high waisted A-line skirt elongates the figure, and the heavyweight lace fabric hangs smoothly without swelling, making it stand tall even after standing for a long time
