Why it's worth it
That leather bust band does all the work — no bra, no straps, no fuss.
The Edit
Strapless column maxi cut from lightweight jersey with a draped, toga-like hem that pools at the floor. A structured black leather bust band — smooth, matte-finish — acts as a built-in stay and the sole hard detail on an otherwise entirely fluid silhouette. Triple-layer lining through the bust ensures coverage without boning or bra cups.
Insider Tip
The triple-layer bust lining means you can skip the fashion tape entirely.
