1950s black strapless bra has a lace front, full coverage cups and a waspy waist. The front is slightly sheer with barely-pink illusion, and the "backless" back is black spandex. Has sturdy underwire and boning lined in flannel and satin, with a lacy rosette at center front. Original $10.00 price tag attached from over 60 years ago... this would be $95 in today's dollars!
