Vintage A stein & Co Perma Lift waist cinching corselette

This is how you get the vintage shape beneath your dresses. Look at those bombshell curves, wowza!  She'll be even more hourglass on someone real, other than my manny because you can see she's not filling it out to give it justice. It's come up lovely after its bath, although you can just see a tiny spot of lipstick on the right cup. The wash did remove most of it but not that little speck.

Made by A Stein & Co, Perma Lift, Chicago USA it's is quite a beauty of a vintage corselettes giving such a fantastic foundation curvy shape, and covering the bottom so neatly before, giving a really wonderful sillhouette.

I've included a pic of it on a body where it measures 39" hip, 28.5" waist which is probably the max it can go. The person in image is DD bust, so I doubt the cups would be sufficient for D+. If you're a small cup, you can slip some chicken fillets in between the felt and the lace to give you the shape you need.

  • A Stein & Co, Perma Lift, Chicago USA made.

Measures:

  • Size on label 32", 90cm bust, 24" waist but the manny is 36" bust and as you can see she's not filling out those generous cups.
  • 36"-38" across top.

  • 12" Front length.
  • Back length 15 3/4".

CONDITION: Structurally sound, there's a teeny orange lipstick mark on the lace of the right bust which still persisted after it's bath, but the rest has come up lovely. The edges near front bone is slightly frayed, see detail images.
