Measurements:  This style uses a high-stretch double-lined fabric; Babyboo recommends selecting your true size for stretch styles to achieve the intended sculpted fit. There is an adjustable corset, so we do think this could be make smaller or bigger if needed, and as such would fit a size above or below

  • Adjustable shoulder straps for personalised comfort and a secure fit
  • Low open back design for a striking, feminine edge
  • Thigh-high side split for movement and a touch of sultry drama
  • Floor-length hem for a sleek, elongated silhouette

  • Soft double-lined stretch fabric that sculpts and contours the body
  • Crafted to contour your shape while remaining comfortable and breathable

Size + Fit:
