A beautifully revived late 1930s to early 1940s silk satin slip or nightgown, hand-dyed in a soft celadon green tone.
This piece features a fluid bias-cut satin skirt with a delicate chiffon bodice panel, accented by original hand embroidery and narrow lace edging along the neckline. The silhouette skims the body with the understated elegance typical of pre-war lingerie design.
Originall Ivory. It was carefully hand-dyed to create a new life as a wearable piece while preserving its historical character. The resulting color has subtle tonal variations that highlight the texture of the silk and reflect its restoration journey.
A vintage satin ribbon has been added at the waist (not original) to allow adjustable shaping and modern styling versatility.
Condition:
- Structurally wearable
- Minor signs of age consistent with antique satin
This piece now exists as both a garment and a story — a revived heirloom intended to be worn, not hidden away.
How It Can Be Styled Today
- As a summer slip dress with sandals
- With a structured blazer for modern contrast
- As elevated loungewear

Because of the bias cut, it moves beautifully on the body.

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.
