Original description:
Gotta love unworn vintage lingerie, like this full slip, probably late 1950s! Curving empire waist with softly gathered bust. Elaborately trimmed with wide bands of sheer lace overlaid by a large appliqued and embroidered chiffon bow. Hem has another wide band of lace, lightly gathered into a ruffle. Shoulder straps are adjustable with metal sliders.
SIZE: Labeled 34

CONDITION: New Old Stock with tags, no issues seen.
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.
