Description
Ornella is an elegant, close-fitting evening gown with an adjustable waist seam and straps. The corset bodice showcases pleated cups with underwires and rigilene boning in applied channels. The bias-cut skirt flares at the bottom, with a floor-length front and a dramatic train at the back. The dress fastens discreetly with an invisible zipper along the centre back seam, complemented by a hook-and-eye closure.
