Gianni Versace Silk corset

ICONIC FALL 1986 VINTAGE GIANNI VERSACE BLACK RUCHED SILK CORSAGE WITH EXTENSIVE GLASS BEADS AND SEQUIN EMBROIDERY. THIS STUNNING PIECE IS FROM GIANNI VERSACE’S SERA LINE FROM THE COLLECTION FOR F/W 1986-1987. THE SERA LINE WAS DONE TO COUTURE STANDARS AND PROBABLY PRODUCED ONLY ONE OR TWO SEASONS IN THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE OF VERSACE. THE COLLECTION FEATURED HIGH LUXURY EVENING PIECES MOSTLY LAVISHLY EMBELLISHED WITH PEARLS AND SEQUINS. THIS CORSAGE IS A WONDERFUL, VERY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE SERA LINE AND INCREDIBLE WHEN ON. THE BODY IS DONE OF A SOFT SILK JERSEY IN BLACK WHICH IS RUCHED AT THE CENTER BACK AND FRONT. THE FABRIC HAS SOME STRETCH IN IT AND CLINGE TO THE BODY. THERE IS A BUILD IN BRA AND THE INSIDE HAS A BONING AT THE CENTER AND ONE AT EACH SIDE. THIS CREATES A SUPER SEXY FEEL AND HELPS TO KEEP ALL BEAUTIFULLY IN PLACE. THE SILHOUETTE ENDS ABOUT THE WAIST AND HAS A TAPERED FEEL WHICH NARROWS DOWN WHEN IT REACHES THE HEM. AT THE FRONT IT IS FINISHED WITH A BEAUTIFUL EMBROIDERY OF SILVER SEQUINS AND BLACK GLASS BEADS. THESE ARE APPLIED ON A SHEER GAUZE FABRIC. IT IS FANTASTIC WHEN IT CATCHES THE LIGHT BECAUSE YOU HAVE THIS AMAZING GLITZ AND SPARKLE. THE PATTERN OF THE EMBROIDERY COVERS THE SIDE AND RUNS TO THE HEM. AT THE SHOULDERS IT HOLD WITH TWO SILK SATIN STRAPS. FOR CLOSING IT IS FINISHED AT THE BACK WITH A ZIPPER CLOSURE AND A HOOK. THE COMPOSITION LABEL AND SIZE TAG IS ABSENT. MOST PROBABLY SILK. THE SIZE CORRESPONDS BEST TO A MODERN SIZE XS TO SMALL. THE CONDITION HAS SOME LIGHT DAMAGING BUT WITH A FEW REPAIRS IT IS STILL VERY WEARABLE. THE SEWING FROM THE EMBROIDERY IS SLIGHTLY LOOSE AT SOME TINY POINTS. THERE IS A DAMAGE IN THE SHEER SILK PART AT THE UPPER SIDE. THE BONING SLIGHTLY STICKS OUT AT ONE POINT. AT ONE SIDE THE COVER OF THE BONING HAS LIGHT FRAYING. I SEE SOME MINOR PULLED THREADS, ONE IS AT THE LOWER FRONT LEFT. I PICTURED ALL THE IMPERFECTIONS I HAVE NOTICED.
