Why it's worth it
The cutout frame and the bra inside it were designed together — the exposure is the tailoring.
The Edit
An oval window cut through the chest — scalloped braid trim lining every inch of the opening — houses a built-in structured bra, so the reveal is entirely intentional. Snake-embossed jacquard runs the full body of the slim bustier, with a mock collar standing away from the neck and a back zip closure keeping the fit locked. The front slit at the hem lets the structured shell open just enough for movement.
