The Delphine Bralette is both sensuous and sturdy. It has a delicate sexiness to it with the long back ties, which can also be crossed and tied in the front. In addition to being a stand alone top, it is also a fully functional bra top for cup sizes c/d and lower (tested on many a dance floor). It layers well and inspires dancing and festivity. The Japanese cotton version of the Delphine offers a more casual versatility and slightly more structure than its silk sisters. Made from remnant fabric in Los Angeles.
