Someone guided this lace over black mesh with real patience, close enough that from a distance the two read as a single fabric, structure and ornament sewn into the same breath. She is Valisère, a French name already old by the 1990s, made for Triumph International in a factory in Thailand that still bothered to hide good engineering under something this pretty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe floral lace sits over a black mesh panel down the centre back and front, so the structure beneath is visible through the pattern rather than hidden by it. She closes with a long row of hooks and eyes up the back seam, and the nylon-elastane blend gives real stretch, 66cm at rest, out to 83cm under tension, without asking the boning to compromise. Tagged a 14C, and by these measurements she runs true to that size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44179755401350,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_3688.jpg?v=1784768194","url":"https:\/\/checkout.caitiedid.shop\/products\/second-skin-valisere-by-triumph-international-1990s-black-lace-bustier","provider":"caitiedid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
