Valentine's Day Moulin Rouge-style Red Burlesque Corset and Victorian Bustle Skirt

Straight from our Valentine’s Day Costumerie Collection is this beautiful red and black burlesque ensemble with boned corset and tulle bustle skirt.

The corset is boned and has underwire cups for a flattering fit. Corset is embellished with tulle ruffling and black ribbon bows and has removable black shoulder straps.  Corset size adjusts with back lacing from XS to Medium.

The red and black tulle skirt is gathered and sports a Victorian-sytle bustle of glittering red fabric in back with a tulle train.

Of note: Though the skirt was hand-sewn by primates with opposable thumbs, their stitching is somewhat imperfect. (Not like that new modern machine sewing we’ve heard so much about.) Also, the term “boned corset” is descriptive only and no actually beasties were harmed in its construction.

This costume ensemble was originally designed with several beautiful accessories, including a red Victorian top hat and red beaded choker (see other pictures and postings).  These items may be combined as part of the larger Burlesque costume set at an overall reduced price.  Please inquire if interested.
