this was a pure impulse purchase🤣 made by a designer from Los Angeles... if you Google auntfunkyscloset.com you can see their one of a kind, custom made, fashion pieces... this is a hard shell with formed cups in the front....open front styling the 2 pieces are laced together up the middle of the back you can tell it was handmade... mostly where the ribbon pieces stop and start fits like an extra small could possibly be used for costumes or Renaissance fairs if the style is too out there for your everyday look... please check out all the pictures and message me with any questions you might have before purchase... thanks a bunch!🤗
