50s Women's Crinoline Slip Vintage Pastel Rainbow Ombre Tiered Net Pink Blue Yellow Malco Modes VFG
This vintage crinoline is just gorgeous, and so unusual - I've never seen one with the ombre pastel effect! It has an elastic waist, with top tier of white nylon jersey. From there, it's an explosion of pastel color. There are three tiers of nylon net, each one with an ombre fade of color from pink to yellow to light blue. The bottom hem is edged in silky bias tape that switches from pink to yellow to blue at a different rate than the net, so edging colors sometimes show a delightful contrast with net colors. The petticoat has an underlayer of light blue organza-type fabric, also three tiered and also edged with the three colors of silky bias tape binding.

CONDITION: I have hand stitched a few open seams in the jersey section between waist and hips - see closeups of finished job. No stains, holes, tears or other issues noted.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
