    ugh. am having a bit of a moment, and appear to have run out of all creative steam! trying to get lots of party stuff listed and this one is really lovely. but 'really lovely' isn't really cutting it as a title... help!

    illusion bust (- ish?) soutache and cutwork (?) and what would you call the neckline - scalloped sweetheart with tulle trim? or maybe it's a bit too squared off to be that...?

    ('scuse the crinolinie, need to re-do that one!) colourwise i initially went for mocha, but i think that's not quite the right word - it's like a really creamy hot chocolate! all help much appreciated.. :wub:

    That's gorgeous!

    are the cutouts lined behind or are they really see through?

    I think people do search "cut out" but i have to think some more...

    What about showing a picture with a dark colored scraf sticking out of the neckline to "show" people that. (because sometimes things don't compute if just in words)

    (don't redress the manni, etc, just lie it flat if its already off the manni and show a close up.

    good idea - i got a bit carried away photographing this one so will include a close up!

    OMG--I love this dress--it's exactly the style I used to wear when I had the figure for it! Sexy bombshell-bosom cutwork (or cutout) creamy dreamy dress..... And yes, I'd call this a sweetheart or modified sweetheart neckline.
