VA VA VOOM 1950's Gold Lamé Handmade Burlesque Pinup Cropped Top

STRAIGHT FROM OUR ARCHIVE!

It's a beyond fabulous, super sparkly metallic gold lame' 1950's expertly custom made cropped and fitted bullet bust blouse top! Fully lined in white cotton voile. Closes up the front with 5 hidden hooks and eyes. Rounded neckline. 3/4 length sleeves with gathered pleated shoulders.

The most insanely sexy 3D "va va voom" darted and structured shelf bust "bullet bust" design! Rounded center horizontal seams across each breast cup, and a center vertical seam coming down from that on each! Cropped and tailored to perfection, extremely well made.

Condition: Great!

Does have some loose threads

Hooks hook into an opening in the fabric, so there is some wear/ fraying.

There are pen marks on the back and inside of the garment from being custom made for the original owner.

Areas of missing lame , appears to be small spots where extra fabric was added.

Pieces like these are getting rarer and rarer! Such a great piece of pinup history and a piece of art made by hand! A storied garment if I ever saw one!

Just imagine this beauty back on stage!
