💖 Vintage La Perla Black Bustier

Io La Perla Moda vintage bustier with back zipper. Sexy, simple, stunning. The size is European 48, which (I believe) translates to XL for U.S. Please note the measurements below. In my mind, this beautiful classic vintage La Perla is clearly not an XL, rather, more of a medium (in 2023 sizing standards). Please let me know if you need add’l measurements. I bought this in a vintage clothing store in a small New Jersey town almost 20 years ago. I think it’s from the 80s or 90s, but can’t be certain. (Perhaps rare; can’t find it online.) Wear it as lingerie, of course, but I used it as a cami under an open jacket (… when I was younger and smaller 😉) and received tons of complements! It’s so pretty, especially with the dainty eyelash trim peeking over the top of the cups. Btw, it’s fully lined. One easy zip up the back where you’ll find 7.5 inches of soft elastic that provides another 4 inches of give. The lacy front and sides, however, have very little stretch. Secure underwire keeps the small cups in place. Note the inside-out photo showing the construction. You can add padding, if desired. Yes, the cups are small, maybe a B-C. And the straps do not adjust unless you want to modify from the inside back (definitely doable). For its age, this vintage beauty is in great condition with no holes nor tears in the lace. It’s been well cared for (… as the latest owner, I haven’t worn it in YEARS!) 😉 armpit to armpit: 15” length: 12” zipper: 8” 90% rayon, 10% nylon
