A corset-style mermaid wedding dress with a sweetheart neckline, structured lace bodice and a dramatic detachable tulle cape. The fitted silhouette is cut close through the waist and hips, with boning in the bodice that shapes and supports without restricting. The lace fabric features a tonal embroidery pattern that adds texture and depth across the bodice and into the skirt. The detachable tulle cape falls from the shoulders and trails to the floor, creating the visual impact of a bridal cape veil while the fitted gown underneath remains fully visible. It converts easily for the reception by removing the cape. MUSE is a popular search style for brides who want a corset mermaid wedding dress with a cape overlay.
