Slip

Designer Daphne Hughes

Not on view

A quintessential 1960s undergarment, this slip has a striking color combination. It has a sense of the 1890s, when the mode for seductive underwear began to emerge and contrasting vivid colors with black lace was very popular. The lace insertion and overall sheerness of the slip make this garment extremely seductive. Possibly, the hem of the slip was meant to be exposed, peeking out from the fashionable miniskirt of the period.
