Delphi Rive

The Lily embroidered basque is the evening's centerpiece — underwire cups in saffron French embroidery, the flowers running on down the front in one long line. The sides are plain sheer tulle, keeping all the embroidery to the front; matching straps draw the lines between them. A bow sits at the gore and another at the waist; four suspenders drop below, bows at their heads, gold hardware throughout. The back opens onto a ladder of adjustable straps. For the hour when the candles take over.
