I just recently received this 1950's bustier from one of my favorite eBay seller and I honestly wasn't paying too much attention to label (for once). Here are two surprises that I encountered after I got this in the mail:
1.) There's a frickin' lace spiderweb design throughout
2.) The brand "Hollywood Maxwell" was first opened in Disneyland....WHAT?!
I googled the brand and found two blogs that laid out the very BRIEF history of Hollywood Maxwell who later merged with another brand to become "Hollywood Vassarette", a brand that is one of my favorites.
I linked both of the blogs below :)
I had so much fun reading those articles because I had NO IDEA Disneyland has a lingerie shop or "Corseteria" as it was called, smack dab on Main Street! I really makes this piece much more special in my eyes 😍
