Vanishing Point scripted clothes have many verb traps and all can conceal a hidden dagger-like weapon. These are considered high fashion type items, similar to Valinda gowns and can be found as any number of chestworn type items.

Analyze

The creator has also provided the following information:

This is a Vanishing Point corset.  Alterations (long or show) are fine on this provided the item doesn't have a high or restricting neck.  General collars are okay.  It should also be able to completely hide a dagger in the inside lining - no sheer fabrics (chiffon, voile, gauze, etc.) unless they are layered.  Acceptable nouns for this are: corset, bodice, chemise, gown, cotehardie, kirtle, bliaut, dress, houppelande, robe, tunic, or shirt.

This corset is Tier 1 / 1 (two tiers).  Verbs are: GET, PULL, PUSH, PUT, REMOVE, RUB, TAP, TOUCH, and WEAR 

You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the XXX for you or deepen its pockets.
