Argentovivo PAGLIERI, Style W762 C.01 and W738 C.01Bustier.  From the Brown and Pink Lace collection:  this bustier has an outer layer of brown floral lace with glitter, this overlays pink floral lace with a stronger floral pattern then inside there is a lining of very soft and fine brown mesh.  The lace covers the the front three main panels and lower section of the bandeau bra section.  The pink and brown lace finishes in waves at the top, applique'd over the ruched brown mesh, the waves of the brown lace reach higher than the pink and they finish with an eyelash finish.  At the bottom the pink under lace finishes with soft waves but with a fringe finishe, this shows through the outer brown lace, where the waves are longer than the pink and again, it has an eyelash finish.  The front has two vertical seams in the lace, reaching up to where the lace finishes.  There is also a horizontal seam under the bust.  All these seams are picked out with brown stitching.  The lace panels finish under covered bones at each side.  The ruched brown mesh is topped with a band of brown satin which is slightly tight and keeps the bandeau against the breasts so that it does not gape.

The two side seams from side bones are in a double layer of the brown mesh.  The back has two more covered bones which are picked out in brown stitching and lead into the two back panels of brown satin up to the central vertical zip fastening.  The bottom and top of the side and back panels have the fabric folded over flat brown elastic and secured with fine brown zig-zag stitching.  The brown zip has a tongue inside so there is less chance of catching any flesh when zipping up the back.

Inside the front, there are underwired cups, lightly padded, joined at the top by the brown satin top band and around the bottom there is an underband of brown flat elastic.  Brown anti-bacterial fabric lines the inside of the cups and the wings.  At the sides the underband and fabric are sewn under the sides bones.  Inside the outer edges of the cups there is a loose brown strap which helps to take the weight of the straps, there is a loop at the top through which the straps may be easily detached, there is another brown fabric loop sewn inside the covered bone where the back sections start, so the back of the straps may be detached.   These front straps are in a doubled over medium band of brown satin, reaching over the shoulder to a brown ring through which the front straps loop, then the back straps also loop through this ring, they are in brown flat elastic with a satin sheen.  The back of the straps adjust from the back loop upwards.
