1970s Yves Saint Laurent Velvet Corset designer-ted-lapidus It is very well made

It is very well made and every detail is exquisite to the clever way the collar snaps into place to the wide silk bow that sits at the neck

The neck has a small collar and there are attached ties on each side that tie at the waist

Either way its a steal - 1/2 the price it would be if perfect

Bodice: 9" from neck to empire waist

1970s Yves Saint Laurent Velvet Corset designer-ted-lapidus It is very well madeThis corset feeling YSL top is just blatantly fabulous. There is no way around it. Made of a rich, plush velvet in an inky black it is a great basic to wear on its own or under other pieces! The straps can be worn as shown or you could tuck them in and wear this strapless! I love the little tuxedo feeling detailing across the top! It is a classic! Excellent condition. Bust: 16" flat across the back from side to side Waist: 13. 5" flat across the back
