It is equipped with eight white plastic adjustment dials and several metal keyhole mechanisms for fitting. A decorative flower-shaped label on the upper chest identifies the maker as Venus, stated as Made in England, and provides instructional diagrams alongside sizing specifications for size ranges A (Bust 33 to 39 inches / 84 to 100 centimetres) and B (Bust 39 to 45 inches / 99 to 115 centimetres). The item is currently presented without a supporting base or stand.
