✨ Beneath the ruffles, a cotton secret. Between two ribbons, the promise of royal comfort.
A marquise has delicate skin and strict propriety. A corset directly on bare flesh? Unthinkable! Thus she dons this shift of fine cotton batiste, soft as a whisper and light as a spring morning.
The neckline adjusts to the desired depth thanks to a discreet lace hidden in the collar. Invisible beneath the gown, it is nonetheless the first line of defense against the sternness of whalebone and the whims of summer heat.
Sturdy and faithful, its cotton withstands many washings and preserves your finery from unseemly traces.
