Sweetheart Corset Midi Dress for Holiday Parties and Cocktail Hours
Meet Arlette, a corset midi dress with a sculpted, seamed bodice and a sweeping skirt that brings a touch of vintage romance to every entrance. A delicate ruffled trim traces the sweetheart neckline, while soft tulle peeks out from beneath the hem for extra volume. She's an easy pick for holiday dinners, cocktail evenings, wedding guest invitations and every celebration in between.

Styling Tips

- On cooler evenings, layer a fine-knit cardigan and step into sleek ankle boots for dinner dates.
Care
Hand wash cold or use a gentle cold cycle inside a laundry bag, then hang to dry and steam lightly to refresh the skirt. Always check the care label before washing.
Size & Fit
The bodice is designed to sit close to the body, while the skirt flares out freely from the waist. Choose your size based on your bust and waist; if you are between sizes or prefer a little more ease through the bodice, size up.
