Francesca | Sweetheart Corset Midi Dress
Francesca | Sweetheart Corset Midi Dress
Sweetheart Corset Midi Dress for Parties, Weddings and the Holiday Season
Francesca is a sweetheart corset midi dress with a sculpted bodice that cinches the waist and gives way to a generous, swishy skirt. Contoured bust cups and a pointed basque waistline form its defining detail, finished with slim spaghetti straps for a clean, modern look. Wear it to evening drinks, a wedding or a festive dinner. In black it works as a little black dress, while the red and burgundy shades suit Christmas parties.

Styling Tips

Care
Gentle cold wash or hand wash, turned inside out. Reshape and dry flat or hang to dry, and press on a low setting if needed. Always check the care label before washing.
Size & Fit
The bodice is designed to sit close to the body through the bust and waist, while the skirt is full and roomy. Choose your usual size for a snug, defined waist; if you are between sizes or prefer a little more ease through the bodice, size up.

Good to know
- Colour: colours can look slightly different depending on lighting and your screen settings.
- Measurements: sizes are measured by hand, so small differences of 1–3 cm are possible.
- Creases from shipping: light creases from packaging fall out after a day on a hanger or with a little steam.
