* VINTAGE 1980S GLAMOROUS NEW GILLIGAN & O'MALLEY DOTTED SWISS NETTING AND SPANDEX MERRY WIDOW BUSTIER 34 C

$ 99.99 $ 179.99

Just a glamorous vintage NEW OLD STOCK white dotted swiss & Spandex Merry Widow bustier foundation in creamy white and black. I purchased this bustier in the 1980s and put it in my lingerie drawer and never wore it. Then it was packed away for a move in 1990 and this moving box just opened in December 2022. I have tons more of boxes to open from that move with fabulous items in them which I will be putting on starting now.

A beautifully made bra underwired foundation with intricate black embroidery over sheer white nylon lining. There is also a foam like fabric inside the cups to give them a bit more support as shown in one of the photos. The cups are pretty heavily padded with a "shelf" on the lower inside to push one up and out. The low-cut neckline allows one to wear a lower-cut dress without the bra showing. Black stays on the front and back for support in keeping the foundation up and in shape. Beautiful black scalloped shirred nylon on the cups of the foundation with black embroidered leaves and flowers for glamour. More black scallops down the front of the busier on top of the stays.

Dotted swiss stretchy fabric on the sides and back. Two rows of 9 metal hooks and eyes on the back so the foundation can be adjusted tighter or a little looser. The back is beautiful with the contrasting black straps which meet the stays in back. Adjustable straps which can be removed to make it strapless.

Just gorgeous and feminine and perfect for wearing with your cocktail dresses or vintage formals.

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.
