Description
Think Carman Miranda without the
Pineapple. Inspired by bundles of
flowers and happy spring-in-your-
step moments when you can smell
summer in the air and have nothing
but a beaming smile upon your face.
This corset uses both vintage and
modern fabrics mounted on each
coutil pattern piece. The side panels
use contrast yellow to compliment
the colour palette of the floral print. A
waist tape was added to the coutil and
it is fully lined.
