Boat Neck Midi - Illusionwear™ | Sculpted in Shadows
Looks like a dress. Works like shapewear.
Feels like an instant transformation.
The Boat Neck Midi is built on Kurvwear’s signature innovation: curve-enhancing hip and butt padding, seamlessly integrated into a sculpting shapewear bodysuit - instantly, invisibly, and undetectably.
Inside, our removable padding adds volume exactly where you want it. It's engineered to feel soft, move naturally, and mimic the curves you were always meant to have.
Layered beneath, our 360° Sculpt compression panels wrap the waist, back, and lower stomach to gently flatten, cinch, and define the core - with no seams, zips and no extra shapewear needed.
The outer dress is crafted from a buttery-soft, second-skin shapewear fabric that smooths, sculpts, and moves with you.
The structured boat neckline frames the collarbones with quiet elegance, while a plunging V-cut back adds subtle, unexpected drama. Finished with removable bust cups for adaptable support.
Everything is discreet. Everything is built in.
Wear it to work under a blazer, to dinner with heels, or anywhere you want to feel composed, sculpted, and softly elevated.
Wherever you go, it will instantly enhance your curves and invisibly sculpt the rest. This is Kurvwear’s promise to you.

Illusionwear™ by Kurvwear™ doesn’t change your body.
It instantly enhnces the curves that you have, while invisibly sculpting the rest.
Illusionwear™ is a world first: a dress with built in curve-enhancing padding and body sculpting shapewear; all hidden discreetly under a gorgeous dress.
Invisible to the eye. Undetectable to the touch. Nearly two years in the making - and engineered with the kind of precision no one’s done before. That’s why we’re not rushing it.
The Sculpted in Shadows drop is produced in limited quantities and available via pre-order only, with the first batch shipping in July 2025.
Why pre-order?
Because this is our very first production run of this design, and we're keeping the batch intentionally small. Our goal is to uphold the quality, fit, and innovation Kurvwear™ and Illusionwear™ is known for, without any compromises.
If any stock remains after pre-orders are fulfilled, it will be released for general sale. But pre-ordering guarantees your piece in your perfect size before it’s gone.
We understand waiting can feel like a risk.
But when you pre-order, you’re not just trusting us; you’re partnering with us to bring a world first innovation in fashion to life. A garment designed to transform your silhouette, and your experience of what fashion can be.
Here’s our promise to you:
- You'll be added to our exclusive pre-order list and receive updates every 1-2 weeks on your order status as well as behind the scenes progress.
- If production wraps up earlier than expected, your piece will ship as soon as it's ready.
- You'll always be able to reach out to us directly for any questions or support.
Pre-ordering secures your piece before this limited drop sells out - and helps us build Kurvwear with the care and innovation it deserves.
You're not just purchasing a dress.
You're investing in something that’s never been done before - and we’re so grateful to have you be part of this journey with us.
Illusionwear™ is designed to sculpt; not suffocate.
Every piece is made from our signature shapewear fabrics that stretch, mould, and move with your body while providing structured compression, support and enhancement exactly where you want it.
Each dress fits true to size.
If you're between sizes, here’s how to choose:
- For a more sculpted, cinched silhouette: size down for stronger compression.
- For a more relaxed, everyday fit: size up for gentle smoothing.
The built-in shapewear lining and 360° Sculpt compression panels are designed to adapt to your shape - delivering support without restricting your movement. Whether you’re sitting, dancing, or moving through your day, your dress will move with you.
