This women’s black velvet bustier top features a fitted silhouette with shaped bust cups, an openwork lace insert and an open-back design.
Made with short-pile velvet and stretch knit lining, the top combines curved princess seams, elastic shoulder straps and a center-back metal zipper.
The openwork lace is inserted between the upper and lower velvet panels at the front, creating a distinctive design detail beneath the bust.
With its fitted shape, open back and clean black color, this style combines structured bustier construction with a modern fashion look.
Designs
Shaped Bust Cups
The front features shaped bust cups with curved princess seams to create the intended bust shape. The inner lining also follows the cup construction. There is no additional padding.
Front Openwork Lace Insert
A black openwork lace trim is inserted between the upper and lower velvet panels beneath the bust. The lace features a large openwork pattern and is used only on the front.
Elastic Shoulder Straps
The top uses ready-made elastic shoulder straps, providing stretch and flexibility at the shoulders.
Open-Back Design
The upper back is open, while the lower back section is finished with a center-back metal zipper. The standard metal-tooth zipper provides the back opening and closure.
Fitted Silhouette
The bustier has a close-fitting shape with a straight hem. Its solid black velvet surface gives the design a clean and coordinated appearance.
Fabric & Construction
The main fabric is short-pile velvet with a fine, smooth surface. Its stretch properties have not been specified, so fabric selection and production settings should be confirmed during development.
The garment uses stretch knit lining on both the front and back sections. The lining follows the shaped bust cup construction and is dyed to match the black outer fabric.
The front openwork lace is non-stretch and is inserted directly between the upper and lower velvet panels. This requires careful matching of the lace and velvet during assembly.
The shoulder straps are made from ready-made elastic tape rather than self-fabric straps.
The back features an open upper section and a center-back metal zipper in the lower section.
Manufacturing Details & Quality Control
This velvet bustier requires careful pattern development and sewing control, especially around the shaped cups, lace insert and open-back construction.
Velvet Cutting and Nap Direction
Velvet has a directional pile that affects its appearance under different lighting conditions. All garment panels should be cut in a consistent direction to maintain an even color appearance across the finished garment.
Curved Princess Seams and Bust Cups
The curved princess seams need accurate pattern matching to achieve balanced left and right cup shapes. The outer velvet and inner stretch lining must be carefully matched to maintain the intended cup shape and fit.
Lace-to-Velvet Construction
The non-stretch openwork lace is joined directly between two velvet panels. The lace length, pattern placement and seam alignment need to be controlled to avoid distortion or uneven gathering along the underbust line.
Elastic Strap Attachment
The ready-made elastic straps require consistent positioning and secure attachment. Their finished lengths and tension should be checked on both sides.
Open-Back and Zipper Construction
The center-back metal zipper needs accurate alignment with the lower back panels. The zipper area should lie flat, open and close smoothly, and maintain the intended back shape.
Lining Construction
The stretch knit lining covers both the front and back sections, with shaped lining panels inside the bust cups. The lining should sit smoothly without pulling the outer velvet or affecting the fit.
Final Inspection
Final checks should include bust cup symmetry, princess seam shape, lace placement, strap attachment, zipper operation, lining smoothness and the overall fitted silhouette.
Special care is also required during pressing and finishing to protect the velvet pile from flattening or unwanted marks.
