♛Details •Highlights: wow! this is quite the devilish set and it's rare to see everything kept together: a pointy, lacy bra, a pair of early shapewear girdle panties w attached garters for your stockings, and a matching lace-trimmed nylon slip, toothe bra and panties are deadstock and a matched pair, and I'm allowing the darling pillow tab slip to go with them because it's also a perfect match and I can't split up a good thing •Colors: a rare fiery red •Fabric(s): nylon, lace, and early Lycra Spandex (invented in 1958 and attached cardboard tag has verbiage that indicates it's a new technology, which helps date this as a cusper set)the tag includes helpful care instructions, too •Closures: rear hooks on bra; rubber and metal garters •Designer/Labels: the foundation pieces are both Penney's Adonna, and the slip is early Vanity Fair with the little square tagthe red colors match perfectly so they are staying a set :) ♛Measurements Bra is tagged a 34B and that seems about right to me. Girdle panties are tagged a Medium and do have lots of stretch, but I'd put them more at a modern XS/SmallSlip is a size Small and has a waist that stretches from 20 to 35 and hips that stretch from 36 to 42slip is 19 long ♛Condition Great shape -- the bra and girdle are deadstock with attached tag and are as pristine as can bethe slip is hand-washed and excellent. No fading! 60+ years old and perfect to gift or to receive.Note: this garter panty by itself (and without its original garters or deadstock tag!) is found for $179 listed elsewhere.
