This is a gorgeous black Chantilly lace strapless cocktail party dress with an interior corset by iconic designer Carmen Marc Valvo.

Black Chantilly lace overlaid over black satin. Boned interior corset fastens up the center back with metal hooks and eyes.

I have lightened some of the photos to show details - the color is a rich deep black.

Scalloped hemline with black beading as pictured.
The dress does up the center back with a well working long nylon zipper which closes all the way to the top. The dress is too small and the zipper would not close all the way on my mannequin.

There is an inner black lining from the neckline to the hem.
