The I Love You Corset by Ashley Williams speaks to the designer's bold, youthful and nostalgic point of view. Available in two colors - white and bright pink -- the satin corset is accented with a photo-realistic, airbrushed image of a Dalmatian puppy. Instead of traditional spots, the Dalmatian is adorned with heart-shaped marks and wears a bone-shaped collar, reading "I heart you."
Drawing inspiration from 90s nostalgia, designer Ashley Williams recreates clothing many Millennials grew up wearing as children. In addition to experimenting with color and texture, the designer opts for a vintage art print for her I Love You Corset.
The garment is a playful statement piece with a flattering fit and a metal back zipper accent.
