1940s Dancing Harem Girl Set Sequins, Bra Top Pants Girdle

This great set consists of a sequined bra top; a pair of harem style pants; a decorative girdle or hip band and a head piece. The bra band has no elastic and measures 28”around. Only way  to change the size would be to move the hooks and you could only make it smaller, not larger. Good condition with no holes; has yellowing staining under arms. Has 3 sets of metal hooks and eyes at center back. Cups are very pointy. Straps are not adjustable. Girdle measures 28” at the waist, 38” through the hips and is 9.5” long to center back; front ornamental drop is 28” long. Girdle hooks with metal hooks and eyes on side and is open-bottomed; it just serves as a modesty panel because the pants are sheer : ) Has some soiling on back side Headpiece measures 16” long by 5.5” wide at widest point. Has some soiling on back side The head piece has no way of fastening right now; the easiest thing to do would be to buy a length of elastic and cut it to fit your head and sew or even just pin it on either side of the back to the headpiece. Pants measure 28" at the waist, full through the hips, inseam is 22" long and outside seam is 38" long. Leg opening has hooks and eyes to let you get your foot through the very small opening. Pants are very full harem style and are sheer. Slightly soiled; no holes. Fabric is rayon on all pieces; chiffon and crepe mixed on girdle and bra; pants are chiffon and headpiece is crepe. True colors are off-white fabric with red, green and blue sequins. All sequins are intact and are hand-sewn; indeed the whole set is handmade I believe.
