Remember I said I’d show this one a bit later – very different from it’s fancier nylon cousins. I’m always thrilled to discover a true vintage one, because they aren’t common. Absolutely the best for wearing with summer dresses (or even as a nightgown). Some people wear them as dresses alone.
No one wants to smother in a nylon slip on hot days, no matter how gorgeous it is! But, many vintage and some modern dresses really need an undergarment like that in order to look their best. Smooth cotton will enhance the fit just as well as nylon or rayon, while being wonderfully comfortable.
This piece is short, too, compared to most of the slips of that era so that’s a plus. So pretty! I love the innocent style of the lace and embroidery decorations. So, even though it’s out of season here in North America, it’s another sleuthing success . . . . . . . . . .
