I picked this original beauty up at an antique market and just had to have it. Although I purchased it with the intent to wear, it turned out a little too big. No matter though. It is still a very valuable research piece. Made of plain white cotton, elastic, and hoof and eyes in the back to adjust, this bra has elegant top stitching to add body and character. To better provide a better idea of period undergarments, an original for you too to study. Remember, a proper historical wardrobe, no matter the era, starts with the undies. .. . .
I tried to offer as many pictures of this article as possible, but if you have any questions about it, feel free to comment.
