Inspired by Jean Harlow, the original blonde bombshell whose luminous presence defined 1930s Hollywood glamour, this authentic vintage 1930s combination step-in captures the sensual ease she brought to American fashion. When Harlow introduced Madeleine Vionnet’s daring backless gown to U.S. audiences in 1932, after it first appeared in Europe in 1930, she set in motion a new appreciation for slinky, curve-skimming silhouettes. This piece reflects that same iconic shift.
Crafted from powder pink runproof jersey, it drapes with the liquid softness and body-conscious grace that made Harlow’s style unforgettable. The slinky cut contours to your curves with effortless seduction, while delicate pink elastic straps provide a secure and comfortable fit reminiscent of the lingerie worn beneath the era’s famous bias-cut gowns.
The label is faded, but we can see 34 as a size notation.

A rare and beautifully preserved treasure, it carries the glamour of the 1930s along with a touch of Harlow’s unmistakable magic, perfect for collectors, Old Hollywood admirers, or anyone who enjoys lingerie with a hint of mischief.
