Why it's worth it
Tailored up front, nothing but air behind.
The Edit
Grey suiting fabric cut into a halter silhouette — the back is entirely open, while the front closes on a diagonal run of five dark buttons from sternum to hip. Structured seaming at the bust and waist does the work of a boning without any visible construction. Made in Italy, the finish is tight enough to read as tailoring even without a sleeve.
