MYTH

"MYTH" was one of Van Raalte's extra special lines of lingerie, often including unique lace or appliques. These pieces were constructed in sumptuous, ultra silky, semi sheer nylon or chiffon. A delight to wear. We just have to ask, why don't they make thing like this anymore?

My mother worked for Van Raalte for many years. I remember pieces like this one but they were called "pettipants" when they were made in the early 1960's. I loved getting VR things before they even hit the market.
