1970s Yves Saint Laurent Velvet Corset designer-maurice At the time of theirThis 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
