Woman's sleeveless slip (full slip/chemise) in pale peach/blush fine fabric with ecru/cream lace trim. Deep scoop/V neckline front and back; thin shoulder straps edged in picot/beaded lace. The center front carries a vertical floral-lace insert panel topped by a small ribbon bow (Image 1); the bodice is shaped with darts/seaming, flaring to an A-line, thigh-length hem finished with a wide band of ecru floral lace.
