This vintage 50s Janzten Curvallure padded
bra is a special item featuring cleavage enhancing technologies that were particularly innovative for the time of its creation. The illusion lace style is fashioned with underwire demi cups made from a thick foam pad designed to give 'mystifiying" push up, as originally advertised. Elastic mesh band and taffeta underbust reinforced with plastic boning at the sides ensure a snug and supportive fit.
Bra has hoops where detachable straps would have been attached, although the original pair is missing. Secures in the rear with two settings of three hook and eye closures. Original tag reads, "
Jantzen 34A." Underbust measures 27 unstretched up to 35, bust 34 with padding, fitting a modern 32B or 34A. Item is in excellent condition without visible flaws and showing minimal signs of wear.
