The Melissa Strapless Dress in White Polka Dot is a satin corset midi in a white base with black polka dot print, finished with a sculpted corset bodice, an A-line skirt, and a removable strap that converts the strapless silhouette into an asymmetric one-shoulder line. It is built as two dresses in one, designed for women who travel for weddings and need a single piece that handles both ceremony and reception with a styling change.

Fabric
Luxurious satin in a white base with crisp black polka dot print, engineered for dimensional sheen across natural daylight and evening lighting. The print scale is calibrated for impact at conversational distance rather than reading as graphic up close, which suits ceremony photographs and reception arrivals equally. The corset construction holds the silhouette through long seated dining and standing reception hours. Designed and crafted in Europe as part of Luna Fashion House. Featured at OC Fashion Week 2026, Catalina Island runway. European atelier construction since 1990.

Fit
True to size through the corset bodice and natural waist, with an A-line skirt finishing at midi length. The corset construction provides structure without bone digging, and the removable strap clips at the shoulder and the bodice without altering the underlying fit. Between sizes, choose the smaller for a closer corset line or the larger for additional ease at the bodice. See the Luna sizing guide for measurement specifications. Model is 5 foot 9 inches wearing size 3.

Styling
For spring and summer formal weddings, wear strapless with the Jody Lace Clutch Bag in Black and satin sandal heels for ceremony.
For evening reception within the same wedding, clip the strap into asymmetric position and switch to the Julia Evening Clutch Bag in Yellow for a single color note.
For mother of the bride at a garden ceremony, layer the Agatha Pearl Detail Blazer in Ivory over the strapless silhouette for arrival coverage.
For outdoor galas and benefit dinners, the Klara Structured Mini Handbag in a soft neutral keeps focus on the print.
For cooler-evening transitions, the Iris Short Tailored Coat in Beige reads as warm tonal coverage.
Silver reads cleaner against the black-on-white print than warm gold; hold one metal across earrings, bracelet, ring, and clutch hardware.

Care
Professional dry cleaning recommended for the finest results. Spot clean gently with cold water. Iron or steam on low only, avoiding direct heat on the satin which is sensitive to high temperatures. Do not bleach. Store on a broad padded hanger; do not fold across the corset, which can crease the bodice line.
