Product Details

Beautifully structured with a flattering sweetheart neckline, this African print bustier top brings striking colour and elegant shaping to occasion dressing. The rich navy Ankara fabric is decorated with vibrant red and golden yellow floral motifs, creating a distinctive piece for weddings, celebrations and evening occasions.

Crafted from 100% cotton African wax print, the strapless bustier features a fitted, sculpted bodice that defines the waist. Its carefully shaped construction creates a neat, waist-length silhouette, while an adjustable lace up back allows you to refine the fit. A discreet side zip provides an additional fastening.

The shorter length makes this Ankara bustier particularly versatile with high waisted trousers and skirts, allowing you to create different outfits around one statement top.

Complete the Look

This listing is for the Zivara bustier top only. The jacket, trousers, skirts and accessories shown in the photographs are not included.

Zivara African Print Cropped Jacket

Complete the outfit with the matching Zivara Cropped Jacket, crafted in the same rich navy, red and golden floral Ankara print. Its structured shoulders and overlapping front panels complement the fitted bustier, creating an elegant layered look for weddings, dinners and special celebrations.

Velani Navy Wide Leg Trousers

Pair the bustier with the flowing Velani navy trousers for a beautiful contrast between a sculpted bodice and relaxed wide legs. The plain navy fabric complements the floral print, creating a polished outfit that feels contemporary and effortless.

All pieces are sold separately, allowing you to choose the combination that suits your style.

Styling Your African Print Bustier Top

A beautifully fitted bustier can bring structure to an outfit without the need for elaborate styling. The sweetheart neckline creates a flattering shape across the bust, while the shorter length sits neatly above high waisted skirts and trousers.

For weddings and evening celebrations, wear this floral Ankara bustier with the Velani navy wide leg trousers and elegant heels. The flowing trousers balance the fitted bodice, while the navy colour provides a beautiful background for the red and gold print.

For a coordinated occasion outfit, add the matching Zivara cropped jacket. The jacket brings additional structure through the shoulders and offers another way to wear the bustier, particularly for occasions when you prefer a layered look.

A flowing maxi skirt creates a softer silhouette, especially for formal dinners, celebrations and special events. Choose a simple navy, black or cream skirt to allow the striking floral pattern to remain the focal point.

The bustier also works beautifully with a fitted pencil skirt for a more tailored appearance. Finish with understated jewellery and a clutch for an elegant evening look.

Fit and Construction

This is a structured, close fitting bustier designed to define the bust and waist.

Unlike a longer corset top with an extended or pointed front hem, this design finishes neatly at the waist, making it particularly suitable for high waisted bottoms.

The adjustable lace up back allows some flexibility in fit, while the side zip provides convenient fastening.

Available in UK sizes 8 to 18. Please compare your bust and waist measurements with our size guide before ordering.
