OLD STORE STOCK - VINTAGE 1940'S "LEWELLA HIPAWAY" HI-WAISTED SATIN PANEL GIRDLE PANTIES W/ GARTERS - SIZE 42

Item #: 1004760 Click on image to see more pictures! What a rare find to come across a girdle panty in the original box in a generous size! Typically we find these pieces in the very small sizes, so this is an extra special treat. As you can see there is a wide, high waistband, satin panels, 4 detachable metal garters. This is new/old stock (see story below), but it has separated from a few seams. I've actually photographed it to show you that with a sewing machine repair, it will be as good as new, just fold that part under and sew it up! There is also a wide nylon gusset, see picture. Please consider the photos as part of the description, including the unstretched measurements. Now for the background information - this panty girdle comes from the liquidation of a small family store that closed in the 1980's, after having operated since the early 1900's, by immigrants from Germany. I received some items from the great-great granddaughter of the store's founders, who discovered a treasure trove of never-worn new vintage lingerie sealed in boxes in her parents house, where they'd been saved since the closing of the store in the 1980's. Most of the items are believed to be from the 1930's-1940's. Measurement Questions? Price: 175.00
