* GORGEOUS VINTAGE CELO MERRY WIDOW FROM ARGENTINA ILLUSION BLACK SATIN & SHEER RUFFLE BUSTIER W HUGE FABRIC ROSE

Just a gorgeous vintage black sparkling beaded Merry Widow bustier from Argentina!

A beautifully made foundation with a sheer net illusion look with alternating sheer ruffles with black satin ruffles. Black sparkling faceted beads sprinkled over the front and one side for a glamorous look. Decorated on the lower front with a large black ruffled rose with the same sheer and satin ruffles.

Straps are adjustable but not removeable and can be tucked inside if one wants to wear it strapless or cut off. 14 hooks and eyes on the back for closure. Elastic along the lower bottom of the foundation so it will stay in place. A total of 9 boning stays to help keep the merry widow up and smooth but 1 stay is missing. They can be purchased on Etsy as I did see there is a few sellers selling them for very little money or just leave it as it is as it is really unnecessary since you have the other ones

I purchased this gorgeous Merry Widow decades ago and never wore it but possibly someone else did and I do not blame them as it is really beautiful!

By: Celo - Made in Argentina
Tag says "Extremely delicate garment" so it needs special care to keep it in good condition.
Size: Small and EUR Size 36 (could not find the US equivalent of this but this Merry Widow is for a very small person) - just fit my size 6 model who has measurements of "Bust 34.2 Waist: 25.2 Hips: 35.7"
Fabric: Polyamide
Care: Hand wash & no iron or dryer because of the tiny beads, no bleach
Condition: Very good - it looks as though it may not have been worn or if so very little. One of the cloth slots where one stay is has come open at the bottom. Could use a few stitches to close bottom - easy fix.

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.
