1940s Pale Grey Silk Slip Dress with Lace – From the Estate of “Mamita”
This exquisite 1940s slip dress is made from whisper-soft, pale grey silk and features intricate lace embellishments across the chest and a delicately scalloped hem. The silhouette is effortless and elegant — a timeless treasure that exudes femininity and grace.
Sourced in Buenos Aires from the estate of a remarkable woman lovingly known as Mamita (mummy in Spanish) , this piece carries a truly unique story. Mamita lived between Buenos Aires and Paris and acquired most of her wardrobe in the City of Light. Her style was impeccable — as seen in the final photo, she was the embodiment of vintage elegance.
This dress is one of many exceptional finds from her personal collection. Some upcoming pieces even bear the full “Mamita” embroidery — her name stitched with love into fine nightgowns and loungewear.
Details:
- Era: 1940s
- Origin: Sourced in Buenos Aires maybe from Paris.

A rare and beautiful piece — and a small piece of Mamita’s glamorous, cross-continental life.

PLEASE CHECK MEASUREMENTS BEFORE PURCHASE!
Vintage and antique clothing often differ from modern standardized sizes. Many were handmade for an individual, so sizing can vary. Instead of relying on a labeled size, compare the given measurements to a garment that fits you well. If you have any questions about fit, feel free to ask—I’m happy to help!
Condition & Care
• Vintage and antique items have been previously loved, so small imperfections may exist.
• Hand-dyed pieces: Due to the nature of hand-dyeing, colors may not be perfectly even. Please wash these items delicately, preferably alone or with similar colors.
• Antique fabrics (pre-1930s): Delicate materials such as 1920s silk or Edwardian muslin require extra care. These fabrics can be fragile and should be worn loosely to prevent stress or tearing.
Shipping & International Buyers
• Ships within 1 business day.
• International buyers: Please provide a phone number for delivery purposes.
• Import taxes/duties are the buyer’s responsibility.
• All shipments are insured, and I will assist in managing claims.
