FRISSON
Bare-back dress that oozes elegance and feminity. The dress tightens on the sides with lace-up ties, allowing the back opening to be gathered. Besides adding a touch of originality, the placement of its bare-back in the small of the back makes it bra-friendly. The top is fully lined, and the skirt can be partially or fully lined. Available in short, midi, or long length.
