beautiful silk top from Christian Lacroix in a chartreuse colour and corset style. has a spread collar, very short cap sleeves, and a fit and flare, nipped waist with a row of hook and eye closures down the front. there is no boning, but due to the closures and impeccable cut by a design house like Lacroix, you get the same effect (note, piece is clamped on the mannequin here, as it's a size L). the outside is a matte silk and the lining is a thin, almost gauzy, mesh silk. best dated to the very late 1990s or very early 2000s.

excellent vintage condition - no flaws. freshly dry-cleaned and ready to be worn.

made in France. 100% silk. marked size 42, best fits size L or US 10-12 (shown clamped on a US 2 mannequin).

• bust: 38"
