Areca Nut Corset Skirt

Why it's worth it

Side lacing on velvet — the corset reference is impossible to miss.

The Edit

Matte velvet in deep chocolate anchors this fitted midi, with metal eyelet lace-up panels running the full length of both side seams — the hardware does the waist-cinching work that boning usually handles. The straight silhouette is fully lined, closes via a concealed back zip, and sits at mid-rise for a clean, controlled drop from hip to hem. The tonal khaki cord threading against the dark velvet creates a subtle contrast detail that reads as structural rather than decorative.
