Description
Mini-length cocktail or evening dress, form-fitting, made from black fabric, decorated on the neckline and the bottom with white fake leather, adorned with rectangular metal plates with engraved motifs, sewn on black background with a flat round nail in each corner. The bra cups are lined with hard fabric to keep the shape, and having three vinyl straps each, with the central one extending from bra cups down creating a corselette effect.
The design of the dress is inspired by one of the famous outfits of Madonna during her 1987 "Who’s That Girl?" World Tour. The costumes of this tour were designed by Marlene STEWART that has worked many times with Madonna, and created the original bustier for the "Open Your Heart" video, reprised for the opening number of the "Who’s that girl" tour.
