1930s Baby Pink Bias-Cut Silk Slip Dress

 A truly beautiful and remarkably delicate 1930s silk slip dress in the softest baby pink tone. Cut on the bias from featherlight pure silk, this piece has that unmistakable liquid drape and weightless feel so characteristic of fine pre-war lingerie. Though it appears tiny when laid flat, the bias cut and natural elasticity of the silk allow it to mould softly to the body in wear.

The silhouette is long, lean and elegant, with soft geometric seam work and delicate floral embroidery framing the neckline. The hand-finished scalloped edging and fluid cut give it an incredibly romantic feel, while the minimal silhouette feels surprisingly modern — equally beautiful styled simply with bare skin and ballet flats as layered beneath knitwear or tailoring.

An exceptionally wearable and atmospheric piece of genuine 1930s silk lingerie.

Condition:

Excellent vintage condition overall. There appears to be a small historical repair beneath the arm which blends subtly into the scalloped seam finish and does not detract when worn. Presents beautifully overall.
