Sweetheart Top with Lace and Mid-Length Sleeves
Ready to Wear, TopsThese Sweetheart Tops are made with a luxurious bamboo jersey and feature a gorgeous Leavers Lace panel, carefully cut to accentuate your bust, bringing glamour to your wardrobe. We believe fashion should be versatile and we love how wearable these tops are.
We've tested the fit of these tops on women with all different bust sizes and it consistently flatters, giving an amazing fit for a range of shapes. This is no ordinary 'tee'. Key to the success of this versatile fit are a number of hidden elements, including: • Clever patterning drafted to fit and accentuate your own shape (rather than relying on the stretch of the fabric) • Designed to accommodate larger busts (so that armholes will not stretch to expose your bra) • A centre back seam (allows the top to follow the natural curve of your back) • A curved hemline that comes up into small split at the side seams (to give shape and accommodate hips) • A longer back to allow elegant, flattering styling over pants and leggings • To ensure the long life of this garment, you must wash it in a garment bag, in cold water on gentle cycle. See ‘Fabric & Care’ tab below for all care instructions.
As part of the slow fashion movement, we believe clothing should be sewn to last and we've taken extra care to ensure that the seams of this garment stay strong. Bamboo is an eco-friendly, hypoallergenic and breathable fabric. We spent months sourcing these particular fabrics to ensure the garment could be worn frequently – and with its endless styling potential we're confident you'll love it like we do!

Vanyanís Corset Jewellery Set
JewelleryWe put this set together for those that desire the ultimate package for our corset themed jewellery. With the delightful necklace and earrings you can wear part of a corset every day. The complete set is your very own token to symbolise your love of corsets that you can wear anytime, in any occasion whether to work or a special event. Because they are so sleek and understated, they are suitable for any occasion. The unique pendants (featured in the necklace and earrings) are made with our original Engraved Corset Busk loops, that have been handcrafted in Melbourne and transformed into the elegant jewellery you see here.
The loops have been expertly engraved with a two-tone antique black laurel design (reminiscent of Victorian corset details) and then transformed into a pendant (complete with silver loop) and earrings (with solid sterling silver hooks) by a talented jeweller in the Yarra Valley. The pendant hangs on a delicate ‘Figaro’ sterling silver chain that adds detail, without detracting from the pendant. Whether you wear them as a whole set, or style them with jewellery you already have – the choice is yours with these unique, handmade pieces of luxury.
We wear our set everyday and several people have asked if the pendants are love lockets, as the cut out shape is similar to a keyhole. Isn't that lovely? And our customer Emmelie said (on receiving her necklace) "I love how it must look quite mysterious to a non-corset wearer: it's obviously a very deliberate, even utilitarian shape - but what of?! I can't wait to be asked about it."
This set is beautifully presented in a black jewellery box, making it the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one. Make every day a luxury, with Vanyanis Corset Jewellery.
