This slip has a sexy fitted shape, thin adjustable straps, sheer scalloped lace trimming the bust, back and hem and dainty floral embroidery accent on the bust panels.
Part of the fun of dyeing anything is the surprise of how things turn out. (Like snowflakes - or people - no two pieces ever come out exactly alike.) The body dyed up a dusty teal shade; the embroidery thread took more dye and wound up a darker shade of teal while the lace trim only took on the slightest blue-ish green-ish tint.
It's not a true solid, meaning it has a couple darker and lighter spots which is just the nature of the process.

Made by Sears
100% antron nylon
Machine wash cold w/ mild detergent, delicate cycle; tumble dry low.
bust: 32"
length: 40" (with straps fully extended)
[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 34. 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 snug on me; I'd say it's best for a 32" 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.)
*****
There are a few little pulls in the fabric.
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.)
