This is an utterly charming piece of true vintage underwear.
A home-sewn piece, it dates to the late 1930's or early 1940's. Made from an exceptionally fine cotton lawn it is so light, weighing just 35g.
Simple in design it has neat shaping with popper fastenings on the left side, faggoting detail on the hem and bust and fastens at the gusset with three mother of pearl buttons, the middle one being slightly bigger than those either side of it to make fastening it correctly easier.
Measurements
This is a petite piece and the waist doesn't open far which is why I was unable to get it on the mannequin.
Bust 33" max
Flat waist 13"
Flat hip 21"
Length from top to hem, excluding straps, 25"
Condition
Beautiful, it is in really lovely condition. The only minor points to note are that there are five very faint marks - 2 on the right side seam, two on the left bust dart and one on the left near the poppers.
