Modeled by: Maria, Stephanie
Location: Aesthetic Design & Photography studio
Price: Not for sale
This bra can be dated between 1960 and 1963. The label lists Lycra, which was invented in 1958 but wasn’t called Lycra until 1960. The ILGWU union label shows the logo that was in use until 1964.
The bra was made by Bali, and on the label it says Bali-lo, More-so. It is both low cut and heavily padded. The style is 2810 and the size is a 32B. The main part of the bra is made of nylon.
The lace is very similar to the lace on our 1950s Black Lace Girdle, so they get used together in photoshoots.
