Antique 1920 Bandeau Bra UNWORN Pink Embroidery Ribbonwork LACE Trimmed Size 38

Description: Offered here is a STUNNINGLY beautiful pink, embroidered fabric, 1920s bandeau bra with lace trim and Ribbonwork— top one in the framed trio. It appears unworn! Center on the 5 1/2” wide bandeau is a painted silk blue pansy and pink silk ribbon. The straps are pink silk and are the original straps. The top and bottom of the bandeau are trimmed in soft, scalloped 1” lace. There are three metal hook and eyes to close the back of the 3 1/4” back band. The original label remains on the bandeau which reads in embroidery “La Camille made in USA” and the back of the label is stamped B1235 38. The bandeau is a 38 and the 9” length of fabric fir each breast would be only for up to about a B size. The style in the 1920s was a flat chested look— which is an interesting comparison to the satin bullet bras I also have listed from the 1950s— which emphasized the breasts by molding them conically! Bra sizes are based on the measurement under the arms and above the breasts. This bra is labeled 38 and measures 38” at the top of the bra and bottom measurement (going under the breasts) is 32”. The area which would support breasts is 19” in width as this is a bandeau without actual cups. It would be a 38B —but could be 38 A-C Because of the bandeau design. The other two bandeau bras in the frame are listed separately. The girdle shown that MATCHES the pink is sold separatelyListing is for bandeau bra only. I have corsets, girdles and other vintage bras— all in unworn or like new condition— listed with more to come.
