with a couple of mid-century midi-length slips that I just found. Yes, I have tons, but always pick up good examples when I discover them.
By Miss Elaine and ? they’re not the oldest of old, but still good examples of mid-century quality and that wonderful-feeling nylon that was definitely a product of it’s time.
We get more interesting and surprising. Stay tuned . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

TRUE VINTAGE 1950’S BLACK & WHITE MIDI FROCK
A breezy cotton frock in a nice print – I like the focus on the upper bodice and at the hem. It’s a figure-enhancing style that creates an hourglass shape. I really must have Stella sh…
TRUE VINTAGE 1940’S/1950’S SHERBET-COLORED PEEP-TOE PLATFORM SANDALS

The Fifties saw mostly pastel pieces similar to the one on right, though sometimes in red or black. During the Sixties bright colors were popular, as on the left. This was kind of backward to how lingerie slips were made – go figure.
Anyway, there was no debate or stopping-to-think-about-it for me, but always nice to know all about it . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
