There's nothing like Silk Lingerie!

And I found a few last week. First is a darling, hand stitched Silk Flapper Slip. Straight cut bodice and hip gathers on the side. The scalloped hem is trimmed in seafoam green and all is hand hemstitched in black thread.





And this luscious 1930s side zippered slip is from Yolande and is marked Bra-Vo. It also has that wonderful 1930's Neiman Marcus label..........Hand Stitched with a fabulous criss cross uplift bustline, perfect for those late 30's and early 40's fitted midriff dresses.



Nightgowns..........what is more luxurious than a long silk gown. This one has the 1930's Neiman Marcus label but no makers label. It is also mostly hand stitched and has that bias goddet hemline.




And if you must go synthetic...there is not much better than Endear-Tafredda from Barbizon. Circa 1964, imported nylon lace and embroidery frosts the bodice of a Tafredda side-zippered slip.




Not listed yet....but coming this week to cemetarian on eBay

These 4 are just a sample of what you can find in the Needlecraft pages at cemetarian

A Day in the Life of a Mad Men Era Teen - Friday

Dear Diary, It's midnight and the one time Mama and Daddy let me stay out past my 10:00 curfew. After the Football game they let me go with Bobby and Linda and Billy to the Victory Dance and I'm glad our team won so I didn't waste dressing up in my new gingham dress with the big round collar. Bobby got mad when he found out I like the new Crystals song He's a Rebel
hehehe, if only he knew why I like that song so much.

A Day in the Life of a Mad Men Era Teen - Thursday

Dear Diary, I forgot that we were having a Sock Hop in the Gym after school today. Thank goodness I was wearing my pleated dress and my loafers. And of course they played the new Marcie Blane song Bobby's Girl which Bobby asked me to dance to. He's so dreamy.
