This vintage 1950s slip by Gilead is made from silky black satin and a smooth rayon blend. Half bustier half slip, the bodice is sculpts the bosom and the tummy with 4 flexible stays and firm paneling. Strapless with the iconic cathedral bra cups, with darling ruffled lace across edging and a lace overlay down the center. Stopping at the natural waist, with a silky, slinky rayon blend skirt that falls below the knee with a lace hemline for extra flair. Eye-hook closure hidden under a center zipper makes this little lingerie piece very easy to wear. A very special piece, known for pioneering the 'no drooping' bra top slips we see today! Perfect for wearing alone as a sexy dress or under your favorite outer wear as a foundation piece.

A Note on Buying Vintage

This is an antique or early vintage garment made from delicate materials such as silk, fine cotton, lace, or early synthetics. These textiles may display signs consistent with age, which includes:

• natural fiber fatigue
• gentle thinning at stress points
• subtle irregularities inherent to early manufacturing
• age-related softness or patina

These qualities are authentic to historic garments and are considered part of their character, not defects, unless otherwise stated.

Notable flaws, such as excessive wear, stains, holes, or rips will always be photographed and disclosed in the condition notes.
