Mrs Masson considers that at least £2OO worth of lingerie has been lost. The thieves stripped models of brassieres, panties with black French lace edges, corselettes, and stockings A large quantity of stockings and nylon underwear was also stolen, together with a display photograph, described by Mrs Masson as being for female consumption only, from the corset fitting room.
