Authentic Vintage Open Bottom Girdles

I've just finished adding a few new vintage items these past couple days (I've been busy with other work), and just had to post about these two open bottom girdles that are up and available for purchase. The first is an adorable little girdle that is practically seamless, has a nice cutaway diamond shape tummy control panel, a center seam and a contrasting accent bow. SO CUTE! It looks like a lady's version of a tuxedo.

(See? I told you so. Tuxedo.)

A portion of the tag got cut off, so I can't tell you the original manufacturer, but its in absolutely amazing condition. No visible signs of anybody even wearing it! There is some mild discolration on the stitching along the center seam that is barely noticeable, and a few scuff marks. Other than that, this piece is immaculate.

Its made of a nylon/spandex blend that gives the garment a lot of stretch! Unstretched the waist is about 27 inches, but I could stretch this puppy past 46 inches. I said a lot of stretch.

Sidenote: Another JLK girl, Megan is absolutely in LOVE with this girdle. Its a good thing for you that its not in her size! :D

The other open bottom girdle I wanted to share with you is actually a pair of girdles - one is size 34 and one in size 36. These are manufactured by Realform "Girdles of Grace" under the "Soft Skin" label.

The size 34 still has the original tags! The tag even has a sizing chart on the back, and the original manufacturer's suggested retail price of $3.50! What a bargain!

These girdles are also designed to just slip on and have garter tabs and metal attachments.

The criss-cross no-stretch tummy control panel is bound to keep you nice and streamlined and the rest of the garment is made from rayon, cotton and rubber. Its got an amazingly comfortable feel to it with superb stretchability for all-over shaping. Love this girdle!

Both of these girdles have mild discoloration due to aging and the elastic on the garter tabs is a little stretched out. Other than those minor things, these girdles are in absolutely wonderful condition. I suspect they'll probably go pretty fast, so jump on it if you're thinking you want to be the proud owner of style # 107 by Realform, Girdles of Grace!!
