As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads, the majority of us are anxious and overwhelmed. And when you’re engulfed in worry, you often dig further and further down that hole and forget to take in the beauty...
This “illusion” trend might as well be called the best of both worlds, since it allows a woman to feel demure (yes, my cleavage is covered) while essentially sporting a strapless gown. Outlined with welting, like that along the sheer lace overlay atop Lazaro’s corseted bodice, or sewn with invisible seams, like Monique Lhuillier’s gowns, there are many ways to toy with the look.
