Gorgeous early example of a bralette dating to the 1920s in an unusual design that wears perfectly as a tank top or blouse. It is beautifully made from a ecru cotton tambour lace with very unusual colored detailing to the flowers in pink, lavender, and soft green threads. Beautifully made, fully lined in silk chiffon, with hidden hook and eye closures down the center back. The straps are made from a perfectly matching lavender silk ribbon, finished with sweet floral ribbon work appliqués. A rare early example in the development of women's undergarments that fits beautifully into a modern wardrobe. Original silk label is present, reading "Nature's Rival, Made in USA".

Excellent condition. Some extremely subtle discoloration and a few pinholes to the lining only, none of which shows when worn. Light wear to the interior fabric where the closures are located, has been reinforced by hand where needed, again not visible when worn. Presents as beautifully.

Measurements:

Material has a bit of comfortable stretch. Straps have been sewnin my hand and could easily be shortened to desired length.

Bust 33 in at rest, recommended for 32-34 bust

Waist 15 in (should fit slightly loose here)

Length 17.5 in including straps

Length of lace only 10.5 in

For reference, Dandelion measures 32/26/34 and is 5'9".
