"Joséphine" ivory Chantilly balconette bra

JOSÉPHINE recreates, in ivory Chantilly lace, the balconette with a rounded, upward shape that enhanced women's figures during the time of the Empress of the same name. The cut lifts and straightens the bust, creating a square neckline inspired by the early 19th century — and which Maison Cadolle revisits with the contemporary precision of today's corsetry.

As much a piece of history as a piece of Couture, JOSÉPHINE reminds us that Maison Cadolle has been combining heritage and modernity since 1889.

Cadolle's tips: To be worn under a low-cut dress or an open bustier, when the square neckline becomes the archetype of a romantic silhouette. JOSÉPHINE particularly enhances medium to full busts, accentuating their curve; those with smaller busts will prefer our underwired bustiers.
