Rare war era novelty lingerie set. Soldiers stationed overseas would send these home as souvenirs to their sweethearts.

These are a great color - between blue and purple. To my eye they are closer to purple but photograph rather blue. I'd say colors are most accurate in the first photo. Gorgeous strong satin, handmade and hand embroidered. Bra features pink embroidered text "Sour / Sweet / Dont Touch" on the cups, while panties are embroidered with butterflies surrounding a large yellow and pink flower surrounded by text. Normally these sets say "Gone with the Wind" but there is a spelling error! These instead read "Gohe witn the wind." These souvenirs were typically handmade and sold to soldiers by locals (typically East Asian or Pacific Islander) who were not native English speakers, likely the reason for such errors (I have seen only a few others over the years). Such a rare and wonderful historical collectors piece. Would be great framed.

For best fit I recommend comparing measurements given to those of a similarly cut garment you own that fits you well.

1920s items should fit loosely. In general I recommend at least 2" of wiggle room between your measurements and dress measurements.

I do not allow refunds or returns based on size so please check measurements carefully and ask all questions before purchasing. Items may be pinned to fit dress form.

All sales are final. Guermantes Vintage does not accept returns or exchanges.

Please keep in mind that all items are vintage, used, and sold AS IS. I describe items to the best of my ability. Some very minor flaws may not be noted. If you would like additional details or photos of any of my listed items please ask before purchasing. Please keep in mind that colors may vary based on computer monitor.

I cannot predict how a vintage item will wear and will not accept returns if an item becomes damaged after it has been received by the buyer. This applies especially to antique items, which can be especially delicate.
