Fabric is nylon
Label says “Pettico-Bra - guessing it’s a portmanteau word blending petticoat and bra
Fully boned
Side metal zipper
hook and eye placket underneath the zipper.
The side back has elastic smocking on both sides. The elastic still has some good stretch, maybe not as fresh as it once was, but it’s still mostly pretty stretchy.
It is strapless, but this sucker ain’t going nowhere!
the teeny ruffle at the top looks like it has lost some of its edging, but it is not noticeable, and I don’t think it is a big deal
Someone hemmed it up which hid cute lace hem, so I let it out
Once upon a time, underwear in any form was fancy AND functional. Nowadays functional is really plain and/or not interesting or, if it’s fancy, it has absolutely no function. Thankfully, we are still able to find that good vintage lingerie that follows form and function. This slip is amazingly sultry and will still keep your boobs supported and your dress opaque.
