Nyssa's Sequin-Trimmed Blue Butterfly Bustier

An evening bodice of shimmering royal blue fabric fitted with delicate butterfly wing embroidery along the neckline and sleeves. Tiny silver sequins stitch the wings to life, catching the candlelight as Ann and Nyssa examine their reflections in the mirror. The low-cut style fastens with hooks at the shoulders under Ann’s headdress, the light bodice accentuating the dramatic sweep of the gown’s skirts in preparation for the Cranleigh Hall ball. Its fitted cut contrasts sharply with Nyssa’s usual Trakeni silks, reflecting the borrowed elegance Ann intends to mirror.
