Nightfall is simple in design and nature, but the effects are wonderful. Simple nuances and and details like silk trims and juxtaposed lines against black fabrics show the style and awe of AF Vandevorst. Open cup bras that sing, and everyday wear items to comfort and caress your body through a long day at home or in the office. Bustiers in gorgeous fabrics complimented by the simple items like slips and pajamas. These are accompanied by an array of colorful stockings and hosiery for those young at heart.
