I’m wearing: The bodice begins with a high, halter-style neckline that doesn’t use fabric in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s anchored by a structured, silver-toned collar that wraps smoothly around the neck and extends downward in layered, fan-like plates. These segments are slightly curved and stacked, creating a subtle armored effect—almost like polished metal petals—giving the upper half a strong, ceremonial presence. This metallic structure replaces a typical bodice, so the fabric beneath falls freely from it rather than being tightly fitted.
