These vintage 1930s tap pants by Marshall Fields & Co. were completely stitched by hand, made from an icy aqua blue silk satin material. These little knickers rise high to the natural waist, with a bias cut that flatters the figure nicely. Sweetly subtle embroidery adorns both sides right above the delicate lace edged leg openings. A very special pair, with a rare metal zipper that closes up the side.
