♛Measurements
About a modern size XS to S; please allow room for the kind of fit and ease you like
Bust (underarm to underarm measured flat, then doubled) from about 28" unstretched to about 33" stretched
Waist about 22" unstretched, 26" stretched tight
Hips stretch to about 35" max
Center neckline to crotch is about 22 1/2"
♛Condition
Overall great vintage shape. Clean and crisp-looking, unfaded metallics and print. 60+ years old.
The exterior looks about as nice as they get, but there are a couple things that need to be mentioned re the interior:
The foam that once lined the cups of the interior bra has deteriorated in the typical manner. Can be worn as it is, removed, or replaced, as is your preference.
The crotch once had a white jersey lining; this was carefully snipped out.
