The Ivory Phantom Bolero

Why it's worth it

Victorian sleeve drama that lives over whatever corset you already own.

The Edit

Smocked from neckline to hem in sheer cotton gauze, this bolero is named for a ghost and constructed to look like one — a high ruffled collar, tiered puff sleeves finishing in three gathered flounces, lace trim at every edge, and a satin ribbon tie at the front hem. The body is almost entirely gathering and volume; the only flat panels are the bubble sections between smocked cuffs. Intended as a layering piece over corsets or strapless gowns, not as standalone coverage.
