After figuring out the washing instructions after my other post (thanks everyone) - I've got these halfway towards clean (they were FILTHY). Can anyone help me date them? Twilfit have been around since almost the dawn of (girdle) time. I don't think these can be very old, but are they vintage?

And what exactly would you call this waist corset-girdle-foundation garment? It has a busk front, boning and lacing, metal suspender clips, and a stretchy band at the waist.

Sorry for quick badly lit pix, hopefully you can see enough.

Thanks again!

I agree: in the last ten or so years. Apart from that, I'd say the girdles look very vintage in style! They must have had a rough life to get so dirty but I guess if you wore them lots, and didn't clean them...
