50s Vintage Vanity Fair Women's Full Slip Red Nylon Crystal Pleats 36 VFG
Wowie, this vintage 1950s full slip is red hot and smoking! High waisted in front dropping to a pointed basque style waist in back. Bodice edged in red lace front and back, and inset band of lace rising to a point below the bust. Bodice cups are constructed of crystal pleated semisheer nylon. Bottom of slip is trimmed in lace and more crystal pleating. Adjustable shoulder straps.
SIZE: Labeled size 36. The bust measurement was taken with the slip lying flat, but will accommodate larger breasts due to the crystal pleating.

CONDITION: Excellent. I don't see any stains, holes, tears or other issues.
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.
