beautiful stretch silk blend corset from the master of sexy, Roberto Cavalli. has boning to ensure the perfect shape. lace appliqué at the cups and hips. has two columns of hook and eye closures down the back, allowing for two separate fits (worn here on the tighter row). colour is a soft aqua green, with lilac and lime lace and lime green (detachable) straps. the cups are lined in bold contrasting leopard. best dated to 2002, when he sent a series of corsets down the runway, in similar colour schemes, and with contrasting leopard. definitely early 2000s, either way.

very good vintage condition. slightest of fading in some areas, though barely perceptible and definitely nothing that affects wear. a stay from the boning had started peeking out in one spot, visible in the photo of the back, but has since been repaired.

made in Italy. 69% silk, 26% nylon, 5% elastane. marked 40, best fits S/M or US 2-4-6 and a B or C cup (shown on US 2 mannequin). has some stretch, so measurements can always be adjusted up a little if need be.

• bust: 28" - 32" 
• waist: 24" - 28"
• length: 18" at highest point and 20" at lowest point, measured from top of the strap to the bottom of the corset in front
