Corsage Swiss Waist
Drawing inspiration from a gown created by New Orleans designer Olympe Boisse in the 1860s, the Olympe collection is a sensory dream, evoking fantasies of parlor trysts and Victorian opulence. This collection's heirloom-worthy silk charmeuse fabric showcases richly hued bouquets floating upon an inky black backdrop.
A historical silhouette gets a provocative twist with the Olympe Swiss Waist. The Swiss waist was a garment common in the mid-1800s, worn over dresses and blouses; our version is a truly tantalizing alternative to traditional waist cinchers. Custom printed Corsage silk charmeuse overlays cotton coutil, with a pure silk taffeta lining. The bottom hem hits at the natural waist for a bold cinch that accentuates the hips. A multi-hued tangle of rose ribbon flowers adorns the top front peak and the ruched center front panel and sensual style lines make this piece an enviable treasure for the lingerie maven and traditionalist alike.
This style is made-to-order. Please allow 2-3 weeks for creation.
