    Giles Deacon! Giles Deacon! Giles Deacon! Ooh, that piece is just scrummy.

    Just a few days ago I ordered a couple of lovely corsets reminiscent of these - now I want to wear them as tops with pencil skirts and skinny jeans as opposed to using them as undergarments! :)

    PERFECTO!

    Bustier dresses are always my fav, especially if it's all corset at the top and flared at the bottom. Gives everyone a rocking bod!

    This is a style I like a lot- bustier details can be so pretty! Though admittedly a couple of straps- Loewe-esque- work a lot better than strapless on myself. =]
