Black Short Corset Dress, Melisa
Black Short Corset Dress, Melisa
The Melisa Short Corset Dress in Black is a structured strapless mini for the evening end of the calendar: cocktail hours, milestone birthdays, holiday parties, and wedding celebrations. A boned corset bodice holds a clean straight neckline, a satin sash gathers the waist, and an oversized satin bow ties at the back over a concealed zipper. The bow is removable, so the dress reads two ways: the bow from behind, or a sleek black mini without it. It is the kind of short dress that carries a cocktail evening without trying too hard.
Fabric
A textured black woven with a tonal damask pattern and a soft natural sheen, structured enough to hold the flared skirt away from the body. The corset bodice is built on internal boning and fully lined; the waist sash and back bow are cut in a fluid satin-finish fabric for contrast against the textured shell. Cut and constructed in the Luna atelier in Pozarevac, Serbia. The composition is 73% polyamide with 27% viscose, with polyester linings throughout. It styles cleanly with a black evening clutch and our occasion accessories.
Fit
The Melisa runs true to size. The corset bodice sits close through the rib cage and waist, giving structure without bone digging, and the skirt flares from the waist to a short A-line hem that stands slightly away from the body. Between sizes, size up for a softer line through the bodice. A concealed center-back zipper closes the dress, and the satin bow unties fully for a cleaner silhouette. See the Luna sizing guide for measurements.
