Shadowline was a lingerie company located in Morganton North Carolina. It was founded in 1946 by Sherrod Salsbury Jr. The company had the reputation of producing lingerie of very high quality. As you can see they also manufactured exclusive garments for department stores such as Sears.

This was an original Salesroom sample meant to be displayed in a Shadowline showroom. That is where department store and boutique lingerie buyers would come to see what was available to order. The salesroom is where they could buy merchandise in bulk for a future season.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Bradenton, FL.
