1930–1939
1930s Slip Dress
Thin, camisole-style dress modeled on the undergarment slip. A staple of 1930s–40s fashion worn as an outer garment, and again in 1990s minimalism.
How to Identify an Authentic 1930s Slip Dress
1930s–40s: bias-cut silk or rayon; lace trim at hem and décolletage
Look for delicate spaghetti straps with adjustable sliders
Check lace quality: hand-made vs machine-made significantly affects value
Condition issues: silk slips fray easily at hem and neckline
