TRUE VINTAGE 1950’S SPECIALTY LINGERIE SLIP – MADE IN BRITAIN, FOUND IN AUSTRALIA

ONE OF MY FAVORITE 1960’S TUNIC BLOUSES
Since I haven’t shown this top in a LONG time, thought I’d give it a showcase today since it’s so perfect now (still needs a pressing). A wonderful rayon or acetate fabric with gloss and a fabulous print. Made by Alex Coleman.
