Antique 20th Century Princess Slip
Antique early 20th century princess slip. A princess slip was a garment that combined a petticoat and corset cover. This princess slip features the stunning and intricate broderie anglaise lace on the bodice with ribboned drawstring neckline. The waist features two button closures and a trio of delicate pearlized buttons close at the side hip and along front waist. The back of this slip is as lovely as the print and features released pin tucks and a finely gathered bodice at the waist seam. What impresses us the most is the condition of the lace! Not a single break on something so intricate!

This is our typical size chart. If you are a size 32 (XS) in our garments, your bust, waist, and hips should be consistent with the measurements listed below. If you are in between measurements, depending on the style, you may need to size up or size down. Each product listing will include fit notes so you can make the most informed decision for yourself. You may find, depending on varying silhouettes, that you will need to purchase different sizes for different garments. Purchase based on the measurement that is most consistent for your body (i.e.-- if your waist size fluctuates but your bust does not, purchase based on your waist measurement and get the bust taken in with your tailor).
| Size | Bust | Waist | Hips |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32 | 31-33 | 24-25 | up to 34 |
| 34 | 33-35 | 26-27 | up to 36 |
| 36 | 35-37 | 28-29 | up to 38 |
