Verona Dress

Long-sleeve pencil dress with a high neckline. The back features a cutout secured with two neck buttons and a center-back zipper. Straight shoulders are structured with 2.5 cm shoulder pads covered in matching fabric. The dress is constructed with two layers: a fine mesh lining and an outer lace layer. The front includes bust darts, vertical darts, and hip darts combined with a stiff mesh layer to create subtle volume, while the back has two small vertical darts for shaping. The lace is trimmed, arranged, and hand-stitched to create a soft, petal-like fringe effect. The dress has a sheer quality, with the hem, sleeve edges, back opening, and neckline cut following the natural curves of the lace petals for a soft, organic finish.
