For sale: Black Chinese silk brocade overbust corset by Puimond

I bought this gorgeous corset in October, but have lost 30 pounds since then, so it is too big for me now. I have only worn it twice and it is in perfect condition. It offers a very curvy, hourglass silhouette, and easily can provide a 6-inch reduction, very comfortably!

Here are a couple of photos, but there are MANY MORE PHOTOS BEHIND THE CUT!

Here I am wearing it last night, but keep in mind this is too big on me…




Size
Fully laced, it measures 32 inches in the waist, 40 inches in the bust.
Perfect for:
--a 36-inch waist, with 4-inch reduction, fully laced closed
--a 38-inch waist, with a 6-inch reduction, fully laced closed
--a 40 inches or more, for any reduction with space in the lacing opening in the back

Details
Fabric: Outside, black silk brocade, with silvery cherry blossom design (Puimond describes it as “Chinese silk brocade - silver/black cherry blossom”). Inside, black cotton/polyester twill woven fabric. The front opens with a steel busk (each side of the busk is 1 inch wide). The body contains 14 spiral steel bones. There are 4 stiff spring steel bones next to the lacing holes on the back. The lacing holes are silver. The edges are bound with black satin ribbon.

You can see this corset on Puimond’s web site here: http://puimond.com/html/py08.html
It is the “straight over bust (low cut)” design and sells for $430. Here is the description from the Puimond site:
“A perfect corset for those who prefer fuller coverage and extra bust support, it is 17” long at center front and consists of 12 panels. It is cut low over the hips to add extra tummy support and in addition gives extra hourglass silhouette. Seeing is believing how much cinch effect this corset gives. Detachable garters can be added.”

I am selling it for less than half of what it cost me new: $200 - remember it has only been worn twice, for a total of about 8 hours! If you are interested, e-mail be at brookeln@gmail.com. Feel free to ask any questions! If you live in the Washington, DC metro area, we can arrange for you to try it on.



Here I am in October, 30 pounds heavier, so you can see it fits much better.
