Details:
Truly a piece of art ~ just look at this Vintage Corselette ~ a combination of an all in one, a corset & a girdle with garters all built into one amazing foundation. Made by Lane Bryant , this was their trademark "Adaptolette" design. Originally made with rubber covered with jersey fabric for the stout woman to lose weight. This particular corselette is done in Stunning Pink Jacquard fabric made from a rayon & cotton blend. So girlie ... The entire back is corseted with metal grommets & pink lacing so you can adjust the fit perfectly. It literally takes your breath away. The front is completely done in metal hook & eyes. What is so unique is there is a built in girdle underneath which you strap yourself into first to hold in the entire belly area ~ a very nice slimming touch. This hooks on the left side with metal hook & eyes & has it's own 2 front garters. Stretch panels along the front hip & sides for extra movement.
We can not emphasize enough how delectable this piece is. Heavily boned throughout. A total of 6 adjustable metal & rubber tipped garters. Straps are non-adjustable but have a stretch panel across the shoulders for various lengths.
Comes in the original bag with instruction pamphlet. This pamphlet has wonderful vintage artwork inside as well as a photo of a gorgeous brunette on the cover.
