Headlined “Look what a Playtex Girdle can do for you!”, the advertisement shows the model in a fitted black dress before and after wearing a Playtex girdle, complete with the original waist and hip measurements printed beneath the photographs.
The ad promotes several period Playtex styles including the Trimline Girdle, Magic Controller, Zipper Girdle and Panty Brief, making this a great example of late-1950s lingerie and foundation-garment advertising.
The advertisement is clearly dated © 1959 and notes production at Playtex Park, Port Glasgow, Scotland.
A fantastic original piece for collectors of Playtex memorabilia, vintage lingerie, 1950s fashion, girdles, shapewear, retro advertising and fashion history.
Size: Approx. 31 cm × 22 cm.
