This slip has a sexy slim fit; the sheer bodice is double lined with a layer of sheer organza covered in a layer of sheer floral lace. It has a modest v-neckline on the front, scoop neckline on the back and dainty scalloped lace trimming the bust, back and hem.
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.) In another example of an effect I couldn't have achieved if I tried, the lace at the bust, back and hem dyed up a vibrant yellow based shade of green while the body took on a lighter, almost pastel, yellow based greenish tint.
It's not a true solid, meaning it has some darker and lighter spots, which is just the nature of the process.

Made by Beeline
100% polyester
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 36. 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.)

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.)
