With stays placed at a broader distance and cotton inserts interwoven with elastic at the side and front lower edge this piece offers more wearing comfort and could have been used during pregnancy. The upper edge is adorned with a small embroidered trim and decorative loop-shaped ornamental stitches in light blue mark the upper and lower end of the reinforcement casings.
