1940s Longline Bra w/ Girdle Hooks (Size 28D)

Allo by Maidenform was the favorite bra of full-bosomed women in the 1940s. Advertised as "skillfully constructed to disguise that heavy bosomed look while giving fashionable uplift, "Allo is Maiden Form's specialized design for women with larger-than-average breasts." This is a beautiful peach longline bra with girdle hooks.
