Description

Audrey is a snug-fitting dress designed to highlight the waistline. It incorporates a waist seam, a squared neckline, and discreet back closure via an invisible zipper. The front bodice is meticulously contoured with bust darts transitioning to the side seams, complemented by waist darts. The back bodice, too, is shaped with waist darts. Audrey is elegantly finished with a free-hanging lining and falls to a stylish above-knee length.
