Read the company history, here. Founded 1923, maker of rayon textiles, and after WWII, finished products including lingerie. One of only a few companies to make the fabric and the garment!

Fiber/Care: rayon / washable (recommend drip or flat dry)

Condition: In good condition, but highly personalized to the previous owner. S/he added an exterior tuck, which shortened the slip by at least 2" (easily released), and may also have taken up the hem. S/he added inset panels on either side to increase the overall circumference of the slip, from bust to hem, adding lots of extra room. There are a few additional stitches and tucks taken here and there, but the only actual flaw is some age-related wear to the fabric of the straps. The extra-low price takes all this into consideration.

*This plus-size vintage full slip comes to you clean and ready to wear.*
