Betsy Bustier with Belt

Ah, Betsy. My friend Beth, has the face of a Hollywood starlet. She is eloquent and sweet and she is also a member of my favorite Burlesque troupe, Mans Ruin Burlesque.

It is a simple top, yet is looks stunning on. I delivered it to her today, and she tried it on over a pair of black skinny jeans, it looked great.

I have made it using Hawaiian cotton barkcloth and lined it with a yummy rayon/viscose lining (the kind that you use in jackets). It has an open end zip in the back and the self covered belt is removable.

I will post some photos of her wearing the Betsy top on my flickr page soon.
