Winter 2010-11 Strapless Embroidered Silk Bustier Dress with Leopard Smocked Back - Manoush

A captivating fusion of haute bohemian glamour and theatrical detail, this strapless bustier dress by Manoush is a signature example of the French label’s eclectic, embellished style. The front panel features lavish, hand-finished embroidery in antique gold thread, sequins, and raised cord detailing that evoke an ornate baroque or Indian tapestry influence. The form-fitting silhouette is structured through the bodice, and the skirt subtly tapers to flatter the figure.  "Warm season under the circus tent" is the theme of the Winter 2010–11 collection, where Manoush reimagines bohemian glamour through a kaleidoscope of embroidered opulence, playful contrasts, and theatrical flair.

What makes this piece truly unique is the smocked back panel in contrasting leopard jacquard—an unexpected twist that merges folklore chic with Y2K energy. Crafted from 100% silk with a full 100% cotton lining for comfort and breathability, the dress is both luxurious and wearable.
