Merry Modes 4 tier of nylon taffeta outside, lace edging. Yards and yards of nylon net inside. A true Scarlett O'hara look. The gripper waist panel is made with 8" tubular, heavyweight nylon lycra. The style can be worn under the chest or at the waist. It's so comfortable you can dance the night away without the worry of it slipping, sliding or pinching.
