The lace was cut to sit exactly over that cotton foundation, edge matched to edge, so the two layers move as one instead of shifting apart the way lace usually does against skin. The straps were sewn fixed rather than left to adjust, a small vote of confidence that the fit underneath had already been solved. Playtex called pieces like this one Style 239, made sometime in the 1960s, when a longline bra was still expected to do real architectural work under a fitted blouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe measures 61cm at rest and stretches to 75cm without strain, the elastic still doing exactly what it did decades ago. The straps are fixed rather than adjustable, set at 30cm front to back, and the cup and band read a tagged 12A, 85A. No staining anywhere, and the elastic has kept its memory rather than losing it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44179782008966,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_3704.jpg?v=1784770391","url":"https:\/\/checkout.caitiedid.shop\/products\/held-line-playtex-1960s-white-lace-longline-bra","provider":"caitiedid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
