This slip has a slim sexy shape, thin adjustable straps, wide panels of of sheer organza and scalloped floral lace at the bust, a thin strip of slightly stretch sheer scalloped lace across the top of the back and medium sized band of sheer scalloped floral lace around the circumfrence of the hem.
Part of the fun of dyeing anything is the surprise of how things turn out. (Like snowflakes - or people - no two are ever exactly alike.) This came out of the bath a deep woodsy shade of green, except for the lace trim around the hem, which only took on a slight greenish tint, and much of the original seaming thread (some of which is visible from the outside in spots), which remained white.
It's not a true solid, meaning it has a number of darker and lighter spots sprinkled about, which is just the nature of the process.

100% nylon (exclusive of trim)
Machine wash cold w/ mild detergent, delicate cycle; tumble dry low.

[Measurements are taken flat, then doubled - except for the length; for best fit, compare the measurements to a similar piece in your closet.]
This is marked a size 38. In terms of this type of lingerie I usually base fit on a woman's bra size. I wear a size 36 bra and this is just a bit snug on me; I'd say it's best for a 34" bust. Slips like these are somewhat forgiving though and can still look fabulous worn a little loose or a little tight - it really depends on how you plan to style and wear it.

In great vintage condition. This will arrive washed and ready to wear.
(PS: In case you're wondering about any "side effects" from wearing a hand-dyed slip around the house, or anywhere else - the pieces go through two fairly rigorous washings during the process which helps set the dye. To date I have never had any problems with bleeding or color transfer and I have two chairs covered in white fabric in my living room.)
