Preview Alzira dress

Alzira is a close-fitting dress with an accentuated waist and no waist seam. The dress is made of two types of fabric. The top layer is made of mesh embellished with seed beads, bugle beads, pearls, and sequins. The front of the dress is fitted with bust darts transferred to the side seams, as well as with waist darts. The back is fitted with waist darts and a center seam. The front features two oval cutouts connected with a decorative ring at the top. The V-shaped neckline transitions into a halter-style grown-on strap. The dress fastens with an invisible zipper and a hook-and-eye closure in the center back seam. Alzira is above-knee length.
