40s Vintage Full Slip Lace Trim Women's Medium Peach Rayon VFG
A lovely little slip, probably early 1940s when hemlines got higher. The bodice is designed with adjustable straps, an empire waist in front and stitched down vee-neck wrap front. The skirt is bias cut. There is lace trim along the neckline and hem, with eyelet lace at the waist threaded with narrow satin ribbon threaded through to adjust fit.
SIZE: No size label. Measurements taken laying flat. Being bias cut, the measurements are somewhat forgiving, but if you go wider, the slip will be shorter.

CONDITION: Very good condition over all, with a few small flaws. The slider on the left strap has tarnished a bit leaving grayish discoloration - see closeup - the second discoloration shown is the part of the strap that tucks inside. There is a similarly grayish dot on the left upper back, and near that, a few faint watermarks - see second closeup.
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.
