A bustier top would make a risqué addition to any outfit. By nature, the bustier is designed to enhance the bust and cleavage. While initially designed as intimate apparel, bustier-style tops are increasingly being designed as outerwear. As a result, the lines between corsets, bustiers, and bralets are now becoming increasingly blurred. For the purposes of this list, I’ll refer to all as bustiers. So, below are just a few interesting bustier tops that I’ve come across on a few online stores.
