This simple design is iconic for good reason --- it's what you grab when you want to play womanly … mysterious … refined. This particular example is a beaut ---- crafted from luxurious silvery-black silk satin and a sheerish medium-weight black crepe --- neckline & straps are sharply-defined and gracefully cut --- tailoring nips out a high, generous bust and then back in at the waist --- then tiny folds bell out into a lovely full skirt. A long metal zip closes the back --- beneath a deep scoop of naked back. Nice lil' detail : two small strips of boning travel from upper-bust to nipple, ensuring a, uh hum, flirty fit. size : sm/med
