Sif Harness Underwire Bra – SAMPLE
$ 159
This underwire bra combines exquisite elegance with a supportive, balconette cut. Perfect for both the boudoir and elevating your everyday wear. Details like the delicate eyelash edged lace and delicate harness strapping offer a seductive edge to any outfit when peeking out of the neckline.
This style is expertly constructed, with luxe details and high comfort finishing at the forefront of the design. Metal components are finished with gold plating, and a handmade freshwater pearl charm trims the centre gore. The bra is lined with a sturdy beige mesh, and the English knitted satin finish strapping is fully adjustable. The elastic trims and underwire casings feature a plush brushed finish for ultimate softness against the skin. Synthetic baleen bones are encased in the sides of the bra to offer additional support. Fuller bust sizes (sizes 14 and up) use a wider 16mm strapping to offer additional comfort and support.
Please refer to the tabs below for care instructions and fabric content for this bralet.
Important: This is a photoshoot sample, and may feature some minor small imperfections. The fit was tweaked for the final products and the neckline was lowered a bit on the bras before the release. The model pictured was wearing the sample size 16. As this garment is sold as a “sample” at a heavily reduced rate (60% off!), all sales are final and returns or exchanges are not possible.

To assist you in assessing the fit of these garments and how they may fit your own figure, you will find some information about the models measurements and the garment sizes they are wearing alongside fit notes from the designer in our Lookbooks (click here).
Karolina Laskowska’s method of wired bra sizing is rather different to what you may be used to! The signature adjustable underband means that there’s up to 6 inches of adjustability in each bra, allowing you to achieve the perfect fit for your body shape. Please use the chart on this page to work out your KL bra size (please note that all ‘standard’ bra sizes shown are UK sizing).
To find your UK bra size, first measure your underbust in inches. Add 4 inches to this if it is an even number, or 5 if it is uneven. This is your ‘underband’ measurement. Then measure over your bust (level across the nipple). Work out the difference between this number and your underband measurement to find your cup size (e.g. 1 =A, 2=B, 3=C, 4=D, 5=DD etc). If you’re confused about which size would best suit you then don’t hesitate to get in touch. For help and instructions on how to take your measurements, click here.

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.
Vanyanís Corset Busk Pendant (Silver or Gold)
JewelleryFor corset lovers everywhere! With this delightful necklace pendant you can wear part of a corset every day. It's your very own little token to symbolize your love of corsets that you can wear anytime, in any occasion whether to work or a special event. This unique pendant is made from one of our original Engraved Corset Busk loops, that has been handcrafted in Melbourne and transformed into an elegant pendant. Available in "silver" or "gold" (see tabs below for further information).
The loop pendant has been expertly engraved with a two-tone antique black laurel design (reminiscent of Victorian corset details) and then transformed into a pendant (complete with a sterling silver or 9ct yellow gold loop) by a talented jeweller. The pendants are sold with or without a chain so that the wearer has full control over how they wear this little delicacy - whether that's on a soft satin ribbon, on your favourite chain, on a charm bracelet or even added to an existing necklace or garment, the choice is yours with this lovely corset pendant.
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."It is beautifully presented in a branded black jewellery box, making it the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one. Make every day a luxury, with a Vanyanís Corset Pendant.
Please allow up to 2 weeks for manufacture of this item as it is made-to-order.
Nadja Black Mesh Corset
Ready to Wear, CorsetsThe Nadja mesh underbust corset is an exquisite example of what's possible when you combine luxurious fabrics, textured embellishments and stunning craftsmanship. Made with a strong black corsetry mesh overlaid with a delicate leavers lace, this corset feels light to wear but is strong enough to withstand tight lacing so you can show off your curves. The corset is semi-sheer so incredibly easy to style over your favourite clothes (or wear as lingerie if you prefer...)
As with all Vanyanís corsets, the Nadja corsets features a sleek silhouette and a smooth wrinkle free finish on the fabric. The steel bones are encased in external bone channels, evenly spaced around the corset so that when worn, it feels like a comfortable (but firm) hug. The bone casings, binding and front and back panels feature a luscious black satin fabric (the same used in our Ebonique Skirts) that is backed by a European cotton coutil for added strength.
The front and back panels of this curvy corset feature an embroidered lace with tiny black sequins woven through it. (Please note: We decorated the corsets for the photoshoot with some Swarovski crystals on the mesh panels. These crystals are not included on the product.)
The Nadja corset is made with the best materials we could find (a German steel black busk, velvet lining and the most luxurious satin ribbon lacing). (For those that love details, check out the ‘Corset Details’ tab below for all specifications on this corset.)
Only 30 corsets are available, split across an extended size range (18"-44"), and we won't be re-stocking. We're thrilled with how perfectly this limited edition corset has turned out. Nadja has been a labour of love, and we hope you love this new design as much as we do. This corset is currently listed as a "clearance" item in our sale. Save 50% on this corset with code "baby2".
