The front V-neckline is outlined in Toffee nylon, with a short central line of binding leading towards the seam beneath the bust. This seam rises to a point at the centre before angling towards the sides, creating a clear transition between the velvet upper and smooth nylon body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the back, a deep V frames the shoulder blades and gives the short-sleeved silhouette an open, expressive finish. Toffee crushed velvet continues across the upper section and sleeves, bringing softly changing highlights as the fabric catches the light. The \u003cstrong\u003eshort sleeves are finished without added sleeve trim\u003c\/strong\u003e, keeping their edges understated alongside the defined neckline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Star nylon body follows the torso with moderate compression, while the shaped upper section and close fit offer good support. This version feels lightweight yet nicely structured, with good opacity complemented by front lining. A high-cut leg extends the visual line through the hips and legs, balancing the tailored upper body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n  .dw-wear-benefit-grid {\n    display: grid;\n
