1940s Silk Slip Dress with Lace & Embroidery – Effortless Elegance

This 1940s beige silk slip dress is a masterclass in understated glamour. Crafted from fluid vintage silk with a subtle sheen, it features delicate white lace detailing across the bodice and exquisite hand-embroidered floral accents that add a soft, romantic touch. Originally designed as luxurious loungewear, it now transcends eras as a timeless piece perfect for day or night.

It drapes beautifully over the body, offering both comfort and graceful movement — making it as wearable today as it was nearly a century ago.

Styling Suggestions:

For Day: Pair with flat leather sandals, a straw tote, and a light cardigan or linen shirt for a refined, vintage-inspired daytime look.

For Night: Elevate with strappy heels, a silk shawl or cropped jacket, and heirloom-inspired jewelry for a sultry, effortless evening ensemble.

Slip into this dress and channel the quiet sophistication of 1940s femininity — whether you’re lounging at home or stepping out into the summer sun.

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.
