This is a front laced costume bodice, made of plummy purple tafetta. It is lined in thin satin and has light boning down the front, sides and back, more to keep its shape than to support the figure. It is machine washable or can be dry cleaned.

The large one measures 13 inches from top to bottom hem, so be sure that will reach your natural waistline before you buy. Laced tight, it will fit 35 inches in the bust and 29 inches in the waist. I think it would look better laced more loosely, though the pictures show it tight, since I have a very small mannequin for photos. It would fit 37 or 38 inches in the bust and 34 or 35 inches in the waist. On request, I will include a black satin ribbon with beads on the ends (to keep the ribbons from slithering out completely while you put it on) to lace up the front, at no extra charge.  The Large bodice has black edging down the front.

The medium size bodice DOES NOT HAVE THE BLACK EDGING.  It also measures 13 inches from top to bottom hem.  Laced tight, it will fit 34 inches in the bust and 32 inches in the waist. It would fit 36 or 37 inches in the bust and 32 or 33 inches in the waist.

This comes from a smoke-free home, but not cat-free. Please email any questions before buying.

 I will ship on the weekend after cleared payment.  Yes, this means it may be up to 5 days before I send your package.  I have a busy life.  DO NOT whine that I'm not shipping enough, the handling time is stated at the top of the listing and again down here.

INTERNATIONAL buyers, please note that there is an extra handling fee of $20 for this item, that is why the shipping cost is high, sending things international is very inconvenient for me.
