Wartime undies provide warmth without bulkiness. Stretchy yet firm, they fit with hardly a wrinkle - cozy and warm, undershirt and panties, circa 1940. Correctly called an "Ever-dainty vest and bloomer duo." Flat-locked seams. Saddle crotch gusset. A very small stain on the front of the top. Light peach. Fabric content: 20% new wool for warmth, 20% rayon for sheen, 60% cotton for softness. Label on top: Cynthia, Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.
