1940s Powder Blue Slip Dress XL

Channel an old Hollywood Cinderella in this beautiful powder blue maxi length slip dress. Short sleeved with gathered smocking at the shoulder and a v-neckline accented by peachy lace and baby blue ribbon trim, it has a curved empire waist and gathering at the bust with a sexy keyhole opening at the back. The flared bias cut maxi length skirt skims the hips and the soft baby blue rayon is extra sleek and slinky. Elegant when dressed up with pearls or gold jewelry, it can easily be dressed up with cowboy boots and denim for a daytime look. By label Betty Lou Lingerie, circa 1940s/early 1950s.
