Condition
Perfect condition with no flaws noted. No visible damage, marks, pulls, zip issues or structural wear have been reported. As with all pre-owned designer pieces, minor signs of handling may be present, but this item is described as being in excellent collector-ready condition.
Size & Fit
Tagged size IT 42. Based on the structured corset design and comparison with a documented IT 44 archive listing, this piece would likely best fit around a UK 8–10 depending on bust size and desired fit. The stretch mesh side panels allow some flexibility, but the moulded cups and boning mean the fit is intended to be close and shaped.

Styling
Style with low-rise tailored trousers or a long black skirt for a sharp archive Westwood look, or wear with faded denim and pointed boots to soften the corsetry with a more casual silhouette. It also works beautifully layered under an oversized blazer for evening styling.
