French Corselette by L'Adrinette: Keeping you snug and firm in all the right places! This great piece gives you plenty of control with a total of 4 non-stretch panels at the front and back all which have a lovely sheen; medium weight powernetting on the sides and a heavy powernetting panel center back.to the body fabric - plus you have boning all around! To add even more control of your shape this beautiful garment comes with under-wired cups. The cups are lightly padded, giving a lovely shape, and lace covered - the center front panel is also covered with lace. This corselette has 4 ribbon covered, metal garter clips on non-adjustable elastic straps. All boning, cup under wires and backside of straps are all covered with velvet providing you comfort. The straps are adjustable with metal slides. Tag reads: L'Adrinette, Gaines/Gorges, 105. This garment appears new and unworn, however one strap has come unstitched at the back which is easily repaired - there is no torn fabric. Circa 1960's
Color:    Jet Black
Size: 105 (French 105 converts to UK/US 40)
Our guess for cup size would be a C/D
(our model wears a 36FF bra size and it fit her quite well)

GORGEOUS! Vintage Corselette by Vanity: A wonderful foundation garment from yesteryear. Front, side, back panels, straps and underside of cups are an elegant, shiny, satin-like finish. Between are powernet panels with plenty of stretch. Center front panel holds 2 bones for added control. Left of center there is a row of 10 hook and eyes with a metal zip over the bottom 3. Top half of cups is a double layer of fine tulle that has embroidered floral design - top edge has scalloped trimming. Straps are adjustable with metal clasps and an elastic 'V' at back. The bottom edge holds 6 metal garter clips of which 4 are ribbon covered. 3 garter tabs are needing to be replaced as the rubber has parished. Due to this, we have reduced the price. There is also one very small spot on the back panel as noted in the detail pictures - spot does not effect wearability of garment. This garment is otherwise in excellent condition. The attached tag reads only: Vanity Foundation Garments. Inside the garment is stamped with: 6508; 41; Rayon & Cotton.
