Strong and beautiful, this sea foam colored teddy is kissed with beige lace and drapes gracefully over the body.
The teddy slides over the head and buttons between the legs with two slim mother-of-pearl buttons. These slip smoothly into hand sewn button holes. Silk ribbons strap the shoulders. With a unique design, asymmetrical silk ribbons are designed to wrap around the waist at the back and tie up with a bow next to the decorative silk lace appliqué. This exquisite piece of lingerie is beautifully tailored and hand finished.
The teddy is a magnificent example of 1920s lingerie. This was truly the epitome of the sensual, feminine woman during circa 1925. One only needs garters!
Rare. The teddy is strong and wearable with tender loving care. It would, of course, make a magnificent display for museum exhibit and will make an outstanding addition to any 1920s clothing and textiles collection.
There is no maker’s mark of any kind. It is in beautiful condition, especially considering its age. The teddy measures to fit up to a 27 inch or 68.5 cm waist with a bust line measuring slightly over 32 inches or 81.5 cm.
The chest band is 33.5 or 85 cm. The strap length is 14 inches or 35.5 cm.
The measurement from the top of the teddy to the bottom of the leg is 24 inches or 61 cm. Length from the top of the back to the bottom of the crotch insert is 53.5 inches (135.5 cm) plus 7 inches (or 17.5 cm). The crotch insert alone is 7 inches or 17.5 cm, adding to 60.5 or 153 cm.
