It features a permanently pleated hemline, a softly shaped bodice with a pleated strip between two strips of sheer floral lace and an A-line shape. In Excellent Vintage Condition, it is a shiny nylon in a lovely soft pastel peachy color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease use these measurements below to determine if this will fit you as sizes have changed so much over the decades.\u003cbr\u003eBust size is 36 inches\u003cbr\u003eWaist size is 32 inches\u003cbr\u003eHip size is 42 inches\u003cbr\u003eFull length of slip, NOT including the straps, is 39 inches.  \u003cbr\u003eFull length of the straps is 17 and 1\/2 inches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are adjustable straps, which are even a different construction than was used in later decades. These are thin strips of doubled fabric, stitched on both sides, then used as the straps. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithout a doubt this garment is one of the earliest uses of the synthetic fabric invented in the mid 1930's, called nylon, for women's lingerie. Before the invention of nylon fabrics, only silk, rayon or cotton were used for women's nightgowns and other lingerie items.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe only fabric label simply reads \"SKYLON 36 Nylon\". When you inspect the label you will see there is a tiny heraldic symbol next to that name, so that must have been the company logo.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause this slip was made long before those were mandatory, there are no laundry instructions.  However, since this is nylon, it machine washable in the gentle cycle. However, to be safe and make sure I kept this in Excellent Condition, I hung it to dry. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFreshly laundered, it will arrive at your door clean and ready to wear right out of the package.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are no holes, tears, snags, stains or odors. Thankfully the original owner took very good care of this slip and then stored it well once she no longer wore it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt comes to you from a pet-free, smoke-free home. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is so pretty that the new owner might be tempted to wear it as a superb nightgown.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"all-day-all-night-vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42755791487129,"sku":"9CMFKT","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0118\/0132\/9723\/products\/il_fullxfull.2542652589_hs5r.png?v=1666804261","url":"https:\/\/shopthrilling.mom\/products\/skylon-slip-very-rare-skylon-pastel-peach-nylon-pleated-hem-lace-pleats-softly-shaped-bodice-adjustable-straps-30s-vintage-by-skylon","provider":"THRILLING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
