1976 Biba Emerald Green Cotton Lace-Up Corset Top & Matching Maxi Skirt

Constructed in a vivid emerald cotton with matching lace trim, the top has a quietly provocative feel without appearing overly structured. We were especially thrilled to find documentation of Twiggy wearing this same design in another color-way, further cementing the set’s place within Biba’s iconic visual history. The corset-inspired bodice closely traces the body. It features a seductive lace-up front threaded through metal grommets, allowing you to adjust the fit exactly to your liking. Intricate lace edging softens the neckline and waistline, while the long lean shape creates a statuesque silhouette. The coordinating maxi skirt falls effortlessly from the hips into a sweeping peasant shape with loosely pleated panels that create graceful motion as you walk. A ruffled tier near the hem adds fullness and depth, allowing the fabric to move beautifully with every step. Together, the two pieces deliver the kind of magnetic presence that made Biba legendary. Matching Biba sets from this era have become increasingly difficult to find, particularly in such a striking color. You can easily imagine this worn barefoot on holiday or styled for an upscale summer soiree.
