Palmela is a sleek and sexy evening gown in lustrous stretch satin. Featuring a sweetheart neckline with padded underwired cups, thick shoulder straps, and boning at the bodice. Fit: very stretchy material and very flattering. The waist fits more like a size 4. Most flattering dress I own! It snatches the waist and looks amazing from the back. Added layer on corset allows you to wear bra comfortably and have supported beautiful neckline. Alterations: The dress had a very low cut bust, and would show the bra once sitting. I altered to add a layer to the corset to make it wearable with a bra. (Photos of alteration added). I also hemmed the dress as it was 5 inches too long. I am 5 5’ and wore 3.5 inch heels. Worn one time.
