    Description

    Authentic 1920s sheer lingerie in charming details! This camisole & panty combination is known as a teddy today, with a sheer net neckline edged in silk satin ribbon. Has cotton shoulder straps and simple pleats to the sides of the hip, with sexy side slits at the rounded hem. This chemise was originally stocked in a Louisiana drygoods store that opened in 1911... it literally sat boxed on the shelf for a hundred years. Condition is fair (see Condition Detail below).
