Hi,thanks.. those are not straps they serve as a halter ..I'm working on getting a mannequin for a better display.its black in color.and its actually kind of stretchable at the back if you look at it
I have very fitted renaissance gown that fit like a glove with a higher rounded neckline that I woul like to use this on top of to dress it up. I have a stand at a historically accurate fair and this looks a lot like one's I've Sean in the renaissance history books I own. My dress is a darker purple and I think this would compliment it well. I am of Nobel birth so it has to be fancy time this one.
