A lovely longline bra from the 1960s in a lovely fine cotton. It has been hand-dyed to a light lilac-y pink colour, which has held stronger in some areas, giving a nice multi-tonal look. The cups are unlined with structured panelling and embroidery to give the cup a 'bullet' shape. The shoulder straps are made from cotton with nylon ribbon which is adjustable via the plastic sliders.
Condition: Two areas of staining that have not been hidden by the dye on the right cup - on at the front and one at the side. A stain on the inside of the right cup.
Shown on an approx UK size 6 mannequin (B:34"/W:25"/H:34”
- Bust: 34"
- Cup is about 9" inches across, and 8.2" inches from top to bottom I'd estimate best fit an C or smallish D cup.
- Length including straps: 13"

Vintage clothing is often homemade and/or follows a very different size guide to modern-day clothing. Please ensure you check the measurements carefully on the product description before making your order. We use a rough sizing guide based on waist sizing:
XS | Waist 22"- 25"
S | Waist 26"- 27"
M | Waist 28"- 30"
L | Waist 31"- 32"
XL | Waist 33"- plus
Please do not take the size guide as gospel as the size stated here may not be the size you would normally buy. It is very important to know your bust, waist and hip sizing ahead of purchase.
