Epona Ivory Corset Overdress

The Ivory Corset Back Overdress is a statement layering piece designed to bring texture, shape and movement to simple dresses or layered over trousers and skirts. Created in a soft natural cream tone, its richly textured fabric gives the piece an organic, handcrafted feel that works beautifully with folklore, cottagecore and heritage-inspired styling.

The fitted upper body is shaped with an adjustable lace-up corset back, allowing the waist to be drawn in for a more defined silhouette. From the waist, the long open-front design falls dramatically towards the ankle, revealing the garment worn underneath and creating movement as you walk.

Fabric loop fastenings at the front add subtle old-world character while keeping the design clean and wearable. Designed specifically as a layering overdress, it can be worn over dresses, tunics, skirts or trousers to completely transform an outfit.

A distinctive cream folklore layering vest for festivals, handfastings, alternative occasions or everyday styling, combining romantic structure with the natural textures at the heart of Celtic Fusion.

🧵This has been designed by the designer and founder of Celtic Fusion; Regina Tierney. Her inspiration comes from her home place in County Clare in the West of Ireland where the Celtic Fusion Studio is based. Celtic Fusion was designed to create a connection to nature through unique clothing. The designs are inspired by Celtic spirituality and ancient paganism - beliefs centered around the natural world and the cycle of life. So, naturally, sustainability and ethics are a top priority in the construction of the clothing you purchase. We hope to create a new standard for the impact of fashion with our choice of fabrics, construction processes, and positive work practices. Our production would not be possible without our skilled team in India where Irish designer Regina Tierney works for 3 months of each year over-seeing our entire work process and production in every element to create our ethical designs.
