This vintage 1930s teddy chemise was made from a whisper light dusty rose pink silk with the sweetest little ditsy flower pattern throughout. Bias cut with thin silk ribbon straps and a V cut neckline edged in a warm ivory cotton lace. Loose fitting and very slinky, falling just past the derriere with fluttery leg openings edged in delicate bobbin lace. A diamond gusset crotch buttons closed with two little buttons for an easy slip on over the head. A very sweet little teddy.
