So we all know that a fitted bodice can do wonders on all shapes and sizes, not to mention being super flattering at the same time. To get that longed for silhouette, why not opt for the Black Cotton and Lace Bodice Gothic Halter Dress at The Gothic Shop? Tied in a big bow at the neck, the upper part of this outfit is tailored to fit beautifully. The ruffles at the bust emphasize a more curvaceous form, as does the flared skirt that falls playfully below. There's also the option to tighten the dress at the waist with the laced sides for a unique fitted look. All in all a superb outfit that will work equally as well at a picnic as it would on the beach.
