Vtg 1970s/80s Movie Star Sheer Black Lace-Top Gothic Grunge Coquette Slip Dress For Sale

Vtg 1970s/80s Movie Star Brand Sheer Black Lace-Top Whimsigoth Grunge Coquette Slip Dress. If you are looking at some of these images and asking yourself, \'did she get a witch hat just so she could convince us that a filmy, lightweight slip dress was actually a Halloween costume and therefore worthy of being in this sale?\' the answer is of course not--- I also plan to wear the hat when I answer the door for trick-or-treaters. But that is the wonderful thing about that totemic, instantly recognizable hat-- put it on and the only other thing required for a full-blown fairy-tale witch costume is some sort of unique or dramatic black dress (for a historically accurate witch costume, you\'d have to dress like a 16th-century, property-owning midwife, I suppose). And this Movie Star piece is certainly dramatic-- it would make for an incredibly seductive witchy getup (although not 100% unique, as I sold a very similar piece by Petra Fashions earlier this week). Lightweight, wafty, and with a rippling satiny skirt and lovely floral-motif yoke, this enchanting vintage slip is exactly the type that works perfectly as outerwear--it has all the floaty, sheer, somewhat saucy qualities that you want from a lingerie dress, but the wider straps and kind of unusual midi length give it a touch of substance. This would layer wonderfully-- it seems born to be worn under a vintage beaded cardigan and atop an assertive shoe or boot. Perfect for night-out ensembles (although I wore something very similar to this over a crochet tee and under a cardigan and it was suitable for a fancy sunlit outing), or as a hastily assembled but still come-hither witch costume for an unexpected Halloween ball, if you missed your chance to snag the Petra fashions version of this stunner, this is the closest replacement I can give you. Bust/Pit-to-pit:15 inches to 21 inches flat/30 to 42 around, 15 inches to 23 inches flat/ 30 to 46 around, Length: 45 inches.PS: I actually did mean to post this last month, but it had vanished into the cedar chest where I store sweaters, and so I searched for it in vain until this new sale category popped up. Sorry!
