Black lace, strong silhouette

Fashion concept 043 · Lace dress, cap & boots

Black lace sets the mood for this look, with a tougher edge in the styling. The corseted waist holds the shape. The sheer floral layers and long skirt give it movement. It’s romantic, with a bite.

The cap and heavy boots do the real work: they rough up the lace and make the look feel like mine. I’m particular about how fabric falls, how much weight each layer carries and what happens when the wearer moves.
