Hand-dyed vintage slips are one of my major wardrobe staples. (As anyone who has seen me in real life more than once will attest.) I wear them layered as dresses and layered under other dresses; sometimes I belt them and wear them with jeans or tuck one into a skirt. They're also great for just lounging around the house.

This slip has a sexy fitted shape, sheer stretchy lace shoulder straps, wide bands of floral lace accenting the bust and back, and a thinner band of sheer floral lace around the circumference 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 Barbie-esque shade of pink.

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.

Made by Back Magic

45% nylon
35% rayon
20% polyester

Machine wash cold w/ mild detergent, delicate cycle; tumble dry low.

bust: 34"
length: 37"

[Measurements are taken flat, then doubled - except for the length; for best fit, compare the measurements to a similar piece in your closet.]

No size listed. 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 a bit snug on me; I'd say it's best for a 34" bust.

(Please note: Unlike the 100% nylon slips I usually use for "revamping" this fabric combo has very little, if any, give. Also it will sit much better on someone who does not have an adjustable dial attached to her hip.)

*****

There is a very teeny hole in the lace on the left side strap, on the back, but nothing noticeable when worn.

Otherwise 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.)
