Solace London Afra crepe and satin bustier gown

There's a quiet confidence to the house's Solace London Afra crepe and satin bustier gown — the kind of piece that does the work without announcing itself.

The fabric 1: 95% polyester, 5% elastane, fabric 2: 100% polyester build comes through in pink, UK 12, with a finish that holds up to close inspection.

Built to outlast a season or two, which is really the point of buying at this level.
