Description
This c. 1950’s tiny midnight blue silk, tulle and net “underdress” was designed to be worn under a fine garment. However, it is lovely in its own right as shown here, either as lingerie or a very unusual dress. The fabric of the blue silk boned bodice is extremely fine (therefore very delicate). The bodice opens in front with a metal zipper The lighter colored upper half of the skirt is stiff netting, while below it is softer dark blue tulle. The elastic of the straps is loose and could be replaced quite easily. This is the only visible flaw in this remarkable undergarment.
