evintage Blog Tag - Slips!

1) Show us your favorite vintage slip in your inventory -
Zoinks, there are so many that I love - I have 14 pages of Slips currently for sale! There's a great selection, many came from the estate of the same lady, who loved lingerie in pretty colors.
My current very favorite slip is this pale blue-green by Aristocraft. It has beautiful lace around the bottom.



And then here are some more pretties that I can't resist showing off.




2) Lace trim or chiffon trim? Whats your favorite?
The lacier the better!

3)Colors or neutrals, whats your preference?
I love the pretty colors of slips, but to be honest, the ones I wear myself are usually ivory or black.

4)Favorite label in vintage lingerie? (Vintage Vanity Fair, Vassarette, Movie Star, Barbizon?.)
I love Van Raalte slips. They are always beautiful designs, pretty colors and easy to spot quality. As soon as you touch a Van Raalte, you know it's one before you even spot the label.

5)Full slip or half?
For myself I'd say full slips under dresses. Mainly because a full slip means less around the waist and I get bothered by elastic around my waist.

6)Slips worn as dresses in public?..yea or nay?
Sure. I've never worn a slip as a dress myself, but I have worn opaque half slips as skirts on many occasions in the Summer. I lreally like the look of an older silk or rayon slip worn as a dress. As long as it's done nicely, and not trashy.

eVintage Tag - Color My World

Time for the eVintage Blog Tag and I was tagged by Julie from Damn Good Vintage . This week's theme is Color!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?
If you are a regular reader you already know that - Green! All shades of green. Also aqua and blue-greens.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BRIGHTLY COLOURED PIECE IN YOUR INVENTORY?
Neither is green and neither is actually bright, but I love the colors on both. First, I think the color combo on the Brown nylon nightgown with the pink and bright aqua stripes is really cool. Then the pale aqua-blue slip by Aristocraft is very pretty, especially with the slight darker embroidery on the lace trims.



WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WAY TO ADD COLOUR TO AN OUTFIT?
If I'm wearing all black, I'll put on a sweater that is colorful or carry a colorful purse.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOUR TO WEAR?
Black. Because it's easy, and sometimes I'm lazy when I'm trying to decide what to wear.

WHAT COLOUR ARE YOU WEARING RIGHT NOW?
Black t-shirt and jeans, both from Old Navy. I know, no vintage!

WHAT COLOURS DO YOU DECORATE WITH?
Green! I also like the green with light pink and yellow. Kind of shabby vintage style, with a little bit of gold and black Oriental accents thrown in here and there.
