Sif High Neck Lace Bralet
LingerieDesigned as the perfect piece of transitional lingerie to outerwear, this bralet is meant to be seen. The intricate lace offers an exquisite addition to a low cut neckline. The fine leavers lace is trimmed with ultra soft, plush finished elastic. The satin strap band and shoulder straps are both fully adjustable with luxe gold plated components. Two darts offer gentle lift to the bustline. For fuller bust customers seeking more support, this is a fantastic style to layer over your regular bra, or our Sif balconette bra.
This bralet is sized by dress size rather than bra size. For the best fit, please check your bust measurement against the size chart located in the tabs below. The band of this bralet is adjustable to suit a range of ribcage sizes.
Please refer to the tabs below for care instructions and fabric content for this bralet.

Ebonique Black Satin Skirt with Pockets
Ready to Wear, SkirtsIMPORTANT: This item is on "clearance" and all sales are final.
At Vanyanís, we believe that elegance goes hand in hand with comfort and utility. This is why our decadent satin skirt has two generously deep hidden pockets - freeing you of the need for a clutch should you choose.
The skirt is cleverly cut to accentuate your waist and hips, without adding 'bulk' at the front. The luxurious satin is gathered at the back and sides, joining the flat front. The hemline is generous and you instantly want to swish about when you wear it. Why not wear a petticoat underneath for a vintage feel?
This skirt is the height of luxury and we've loved bringing a couture feel to this garment. The skirt is fully lined in cupro (a hypoallergenic, anti-static fabric made from the silky fibers of the cotton plant) which feels incredibly soft against your skin.
Christian Dior once said "You can wear black at any time. You can wear it at any age. You may wear it for almost any occasion." We couldn't agree more.

Ruby Underbust Corset
Ready to Wear, CorsetsThe Ruby Underbust Corset is a luxurious, limited edition design from our first ready-to-wear corset collection. Featuring exquisite black lace that has been carefully cut and sewn to best accentuate your curves. The lace is laid over a deep red satin and the corset is bound with a decadent silk duchess binding and laces up with a soft satin ribbon.
One of the trademark features of a Vanyanís corset is the sleek silhouette and smooth, wrinkle-free finish on the fabric. The Ruby Corset is made with the best materials we could find (including a European coutil strength layer, German steel black busk and the most luxurious satin ribbon lacing). It has 30 spiral and flat steel bones, but still feels 'light' to wear as the quality fabrics provide strength and support without being bulky. (For those that love details, check out the ‘Corset Details’ tab below for all specifications on this corset.)
The Ruby Corset is cut to frame your bust and features a high back for a smooth silhouette. The corset comes with a structured modesty panel that is easily removable without having to unlace the corset (we used snaps!). Each corset comes in a beautiful branded box, perfect for gifting to yourself or a loved one. Click here to view a video showcasing the details.
The level of care and attention-to-detail that has gone into this making collection has resulted in an exceptional corset that will make you feel incredible.
PLEASE NOTE: The very last corset from this collection, a size 22, does not have a modesty panel included. The price has been adjusted to reflect this. This item is on "clearance" and cannot be returned as per our policies.
