The fitted long formal dress has one shoulder strap that attaches to three thinner bands that flow diagonally to the horizontal strap that beautifully frames the triangle-shaped cut-out detail

Heres the inside of one of the front side pieces towards the bottom, where the interior band that marks the waistline and serves as a casing for the twill tape to tie the two front pieces together
