It has a sexy shape and non-adjustable slightly stretchy sheer scalloped lace straps. The slightly stretchy sheer scalloped lace trim also trims the v-neck on the front and back and there's a different non-stretchy band of sheer scalloped 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 vibrant shade of lemon yellow.
It's not a true solid, meaning it has a couple darker and lighter spots which is just the nature of the process.

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 fits me; I'd say it's best for a 34 - 36" 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.)
