Madonna Stage Worn Black Vinyl & Lace Corset.
This magnificent corset was worn by Madonna while performing on stage. The corset features a black vinyl front with three silver buckles and black lace overlaying white satin on the sides and the back. The back laces up with thick black laces.
Provenance: From the collection of renowned booking agent and promotional manager Irwin Pate and his wife Clarine Pate. Irwin Pate's career lasted over four decades, he promoted talent all over the U.S., and during that time he and his wife amassed a very large and impressive collection of personal clothing and articles belonging to numerous entertainers. When travelling on concert tours, Irwin often would obtain many of these articles from both tour crew members and venue staff. According to Clarine's letter that accompanied this lot, this shiny black vinyl and lace corset was found by a venue employee after a Madonna concert. Madonna had worn it on stage and then left it behind in her dressing room. A few years later, Irwin purchased the corset from the venue employee and it has been in the Pate's collection ever since.
Size: European size 34.
Condition: Very good.
Authentication: Letter from Irwin Pate's widow Clarine Pate on Pate Entertainment, Inc. letterhead and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
