The Merry Widow became popular in the early 1950s. Whereas a corselette focuses on the hips and derriere, a Merry Widow focuses on the upper torso. The strapless bra combined with a strict waist cincher is perfect for tight-bodiced, full-skirted gowns that were extremely fashionable in the 1950s.
This is a revamped version of the What Katie Did classic Merry Widow basque. The new version features a slightly lower back, a cinching band around the waist and detachable shoulder straps. There is a hook and eye fastening at back. 6 adjustable metal clip suspenders.
Cup sizes E and F come with detachable shoulder straps.
