This corset is unique with its fake jacket or vest styling on the front. It opens with the regular busk and is constructed with flat steel bones. The fabric with the stripes give it a slimming effect while you gain that curvy hourglass shape. The busk are in a bronze color but also to add style there are some snaps that can be unsnapped on each side of the corset on the bottom of the hip line. Lacing is a dark brown. Dry clean or spot clean only.
