Playing Fass Part 2: The Bustier Experiment

It would seem that many of you who read my blog posts could relate to the quandary involving boobs, bras and backless outfits- since over 500 people read about my battle (and defeat) with the Free Bra adhesives!

I mentioned at the end of that post that I was having a bustier custom made for me by Van de Vlugt. Yesterday I put it to the test, and wore the yellow satin peplum top to a friend's wedding, where I stuffed my face with dessert, jumped up to Karma's covers of Machel and Super Blue, and waved upon request.

With a beautiful asymmetrical slope from the centre front of the ruffle to the back point, this had to be one of my favourite pieces that I have ever worn in my life! The designer, Darcel for her own label, Van de Vlugt artfully built a superb structure with flattering V-shaped top-stitched style lines and  a marriage between comfort and support like I had never experienced. When I would answer the countless questions about it people where shocked to hear that there was sturdy boning involved! I was told that I looked completely comfortable (and I was)!  Even more surprising as that when the Super Blue comeback hit "Fantastic Friday" played, the bouncing started on the dance floor, but not on me! I was securely locked and loaded, bra-less and all!

Conclusion: Darcel de Vlugt is a creative genius. With technical skills to compete with any couturier, I have 100% faith and trust in her! I definitely recommend that you see her now, before she is grabbed up by Milan or Paris!

    1. Thank you! I find that the best looks this season have been the clean, simple ones! It's not a very frou-frou spring this year!
