Sometimes a full slip just doesn’t suit, and certainly as the weather gets warmer (yes, it will!) you may want to lighten up on the underwear. It’s always necessary to have a variety of half-slips available.

Those that I find come in a whole variety of lengths, just like the full ones, with the same elaborate decoration and beautiful detail. Lace, applique’, embroidery – even ribbons!

These are all from the 1950’s, unless a black ’40’s one has sneaked in there somewhere. They would be just right under one of the suits I’ve shown and will be showing soon. Longer ones like this are perfect for late-’40’s skirts.

The beautiful designs and embellishments just make me gasp – always a treat to discover another one . . . . . . . . .
