I bought this brand new at least fifteen years ago (maybe more!) and only wore it a few times. It's a black brocade, lace-up, corset style jacket. It has some plastic boning in the waist part. It won't really reduce your waist size, but it will give you a lovely shape. The fabric is a lightweight black brocade. It has black skull buttons up the front. There are two lace-up panels in the front and it also laces up the back. This jacket is unlined and won't keep you very warm, but it looks great!! It's a junior's size XXL. The chest measures about 20", the length is about 23", the waist is about 17", about 18.5" at the bottom, and the sleeves are about 26". Those measurements were taken while the item was laying flat and the laces fully loosened. The laces can be pulled tighter to make it a bit smaller and adjust the fit. The material has some stretch. 🦇 Thank you for checking out my listing! 🦇 🦇 Please ask all questions prior to purchasing 🦇 🦇 All sales are final 🦇
