Underbust Harness with Lace-Up Front and Wide Shoulder Straps

This cognac faux leather underbust harness features a structured wide body panel that wraps the ribcage from below the bust to the natural waist, creating a defined silhouette without underwires or boning. The front lace-up closure runs through six silver metal eyelets, letting you cinch or loosen the fit by several centimeters on the spot. Two wide shoulder straps — approximately 3 cm across — sit flat across the shoulders and connect via silver buckle hardware that adjusts independently on each side.

Lace-Up Front Detail

The centre-front lacing is the structural focus of this harness, not merely decorative. Pulling the laces tighter draws the side panels inward, compressing the waist panel and adding up to roughly 4 cm of adjustability beyond the base fit. The silver eyelets are metal-set into reinforced grommets, so repeated tightening does not stress the faux leather. This mechanism also means the harness can be put on and taken off without undoing the back — simply loosen the lace, step in, and re-lace to fit.

• Six silver metal eyelets along the centre-front panel
• Approx. 4 cm of additional cinch range via the lacing alone
• Lace can be tied in a bow or tucked for a cleaner front profile
• Lacing cord is included but not replaceable without re-threading — handle with care

Sizing and Fit

The wide underbust panel is designed to sit just below the bust line and extend roughly 12-14 cm down toward the natural waist. Shoulder straps are independently adjustable to accommodate torso lengths from approximately 38 cm to 46 cm (underarm to natural waist). Best fit for ribcage measurements in the 70-100 cm range; the lace-up front provides additional room for fuller torsos. Not recommended if you prefer a soft, flexible waist garment — the structured panel holds its shape and may feel rigid during extended wear.

• Underbust panel depth: approx. 12-14 cm
• Ribcage fit range: approx. 70-100 cm
• Shoulder strap length: independently adjustable via silver buckles
• Lace-up front adds approx. 4 cm of circumference flexibility
• Structured panel — not suitable as a soft-wear piece for all-day comfort

Faux Leather Material and Care

The outer shell is cognac-toned textured faux leather — a synthetic PU material with a subtle grain pattern visible across the body panel and straps. The texture adds visual depth and resists minor scuffs better than smooth PU. Because this is vegan leather, the colour has a consistent warm brown tone without the natural variation found in animal hides. Wipe clean with a damp cloth only; do not submerge in water or machine wash, as prolonged moisture weakens the PU bond at the seam lines. Store flat or hanging to prevent permanent creasing of the structured panel.

Styling for Festival and Boudoir

Worn over a fitted white or black turtleneck, this cognac harness reads as an outerwear statement suited to festival dressing or editorial fashion shoots. For a boudoir aesthetic, pair it directly over skin against high-waisted wide-leg trousers — the warm tan tone contrasts well with both dark and ivory fabrics. The wide shoulder straps sit visibly outside jacket or blazer lapels, making it layerable for autumn styling. For a body harness look with more coverage, layer it over a mesh bodysuit; the structured underbust panel remains visible through the sheer fabric without bunching.
