This antique Edwardian era to early 1920s cusp camisole was made from gorgeous mixed lace fabrics. Floral filet lace complements rows of beautifully textured Irish crochet lace with lifted petals around the embroidered flowers which adds a very special touch. Scalopped lace straps and a straight cut offer the iconic loose silhouette of the era. This little cover falls just below the natural waist, closing up the back with a row of hidden eye-hooks. This little brassiere is fully lined in soft cotton tulle which provides protection as well as a high quality, structured fit. An exquisite lingerie staple from the era, perfectly crafted with intentional detail and grace.
