DescriptionWoman's brassiere of pale pink synthetic lace and satin. The shaping is reinforced by parallel curved rows of stitching in the satin under the cups. A band of elastic, 1 3/8 inches wide, forms the bottom edge of the brassiere front. The upper cups and brassiere back are made of machine-made lace over a pink net-like knitted fabric. The center back opening fastens with a single set of three hooks and eyes. Each pink satin ribbon shoulder strap is adjustable by means of an enameled metal clasp in front. The original sales tag is held on the brassiere by means of a steel pin.
