Size 4 1950s White Strapless Slip Shirred Bodice - Small Unusual Cotton Pin up

Description

Wonderful 1950s summer full slip! Not only is this a strapless slip, it's new-old stock and has a terrific shirred bodice. The stretchy lines of shirred stitching are dainty and precise, in narrow and broad panels to front and back bodice. The skirt is a smooth slim A-line to the knee with a ruffled lace hem. A hard-to-find 50s item with its original Gilead hangtag, easily worn as a 1930s or 40s look.
