Lace Camisole

Description:

This brassiere is made of three bands of ivory machine filet lace with hook and eye closures in the back. The inside view reveals a pink diamond reinforcing the panel in the middle, across the diaphragm. Across the bottom of the camisole there are two elastic tabs with metal hooks to further tighten the waist. This piece was designed by Gossard Lounger Iyne Brassieres and with the commercial closures by Gossard. The wide twill tape straps are not original and much have been replaced.
