Why it's worth it
Side cut from waist to hip — the jewellery question answers itself.
The Edit
Open from underarm to hip on both sides, the cutout here is structural — not an afterthought — held in check by a single back strap that keeps the column from reading as two separate panels. The satin-weight fabric skims the body in a clean column from crew neckline to floor, with no seam breaks interrupting the line. Sleeveless and unadorned, the entire visual weight rests on the precision of that lateral void.
