Product Details

A beautifully structured corset can transform an outfit, especially when the fabric is as striking as the silhouette. This African print corset top combines rich navy, red and golden yellow Ankara with a sculpted sweetheart neckline, defined waist and distinctive pointed front hem.

Crafted from 100% cotton African wax print, the strapless bodice features carefully shaped panels that create a fitted silhouette through the bust and waist. An adjustable ribbon lace up back allows you to refine the fit, while a side zip provides an additional fastening.

Whether worn with flowing trousers, a fitted skirt or a coordinating jacket, this Ankara corset top brings beautiful structure and colour to weddings, formal dinners and special celebrations.

 

Complete the Look

This listing includes the corset top only. The jacket, trousers and skirts shown in the photographs are not included.

Create a coordinated outfit with the matching Zivara African Print Cropped Jacket. The jacket's structured shoulders and overlapping front panels complement the fitted corset while offering another way to style the neckline.

For a beautiful contrast between a sculpted bodice and flowing fabric, pair the corset with the Velani Navy Wide Leg Trousers. The deep navy trousers complement the colours of the Ankara print, creating an elegant outfit for evening occasions.

All three pieces are available to purchase separately.

How to Style Your Ankara Corset Top

The beauty of a standalone corset is the freedom to create different outfits around it. A fitted bodice brings definition to the waist, while the choice of skirt or trousers determines how formal or relaxed the finished look feels.

For wedding receptions and evening celebrations, wear this African print bustier with navy wide leg trousers and elegant heels. The fullness of the trousers balances the fitted corset, while the contrasting shapes give the outfit a contemporary feel.

For a more streamlined silhouette, pair the corset with a plain black pencil skirt. The rich floral print becomes the centre of attention, particularly when finished with simple gold jewellery and a clutch.

The matching cropped jacket offers another styling option. Wear it over the corset for a more tailored appearance, then remove it later to reveal the sweetheart neckline.

Fit and Sizing

The corset has a structured, close fitting silhouette through the bust and waist. The shaped panels provide definition, while the ribbon lace up back allows some adjustment to the fit.

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