$25 USD ReducedREDUCED Vintage 1940's Shrimp Pink Full Length Slip-Silky Peachy Keen!

Clothing:By Period:1940's:Lingerie:Under Garment:Silk:Rayon:Full Length:Slip
Have you ever drooled over the wonderful colors and styling of lingerie from the 1930’s right through to the end of the 60’s? We at What'll I Wear?

Today we seem to get hit in the face with it. No imagination needed! This lovely shrimp pink rayon full length slip is a perfect example. Nothing much shows but the garment is ...
REDUCED 1940's "Betty Rose Coats and Suits " 2 pc. Skirt/Jacket Stunning  "Look

$60 USD ReducedREDUCED 1940's "Betty Rose Coats and Suits " 2 pc. Skirt/Jacket Stunning "Look Out Joan Crawford" "

Clothing:By Period:1940's:Women's:2 Piece:Suit:Skirt:Jacket
This absolutely top notch 2 piece skirt and jacket are not given justice with my rather amateur photography skills. It's the attention to details that make this suit so unique. The 4 panels at the back of the jacket give it that tell tale nipped waist so forties, as do the darts that run from shoulder to inside edge of the pocket. There is a second set of darts that run down from under the breast area to mid seam on the pocket. Speaking of pockets, these are amazing. As I don't know the proper ...
REDUCED 1940's Summer Day Dress- "Murray White Boston" Cool & Sheer

$33 USD ReducedREDUCED 1940's Summer Day Dress- "Murray White Boston" Cool & Sheer

Clothing:By Period:1940's:Summer:Day Dress
This is a lovely late 40's early 50's day dress with it's cool, fresh fabric with horizontal variegated stripes of blue and black on white. You'll need a slip under this as the fabric is quite sheer. The striped material (last pic is the most accurate color) is used to good advantage as it forms the bias binding on the short sleeves and all the way down the front which is fully buttoned-19 blue buttons in all, with a dome fastener at the waist. The skirt is gored and consists of 20 panels giving ...
1940's Fur Muff/Purse Natural Black Mink Lustrous

$30 USD Offers Considered1940's Fur Muff/Purse Natural Black Mink Lustrous

Clothing:By Period:1940's:Fur:Muff/Purse
Intrigue comes to mind when I view this large muff. Can't you just picture it worn with a lovely slimming vintage 40's suit with a fab peplum topped off by a big and beautiful hat so popular in those days. Why this lady might even have owned a small derringer which could easily be hidden in the roomy zippered purse. Like so many of the accessories of the day these muffs were must haves for the style conscious of the 40's. This particular mink fur piece is black tinged with dark brown and is ...
SALE PENDING C1940's/50's Gorgeous Shiny Four Pelt Fur Scarf

$45 USD Sale PendingSALE PENDING C1940's/50's Gorgeous Shiny Four Pelt Fur Scarf

Clothing:By Period:1940's:Women's:Fur:Neck Piece:Scarf:Wrap
I know, I know, these wraps are not for everybody but believe me you were nobody in the mid-century if you went out to a luncheon, to the theatre or a cocktail party without this accessory. Besides, don't you think it's kind nice to give these pelts pride of place? Why be trapped and then never worn? No point to that! This is real glamour worn mainly with dinner dresses or expensive tailored suits, accompanied with gloves and a hat, the more outrageous the better. This wrap is in beautiful ...
SALE PENDING 1930's-40's Tap Pants-Radelle Lingerie Super Sexy

$19 USD Sale PendingSALE PENDING 1930's-40's Tap Pants-Radelle Lingerie Super Sexy

Clothing:By Period:1940's:Women's:Lingerie:Panties:Tap Pants
Adorable pair of vintage tap pants. They are a lovely soft pink/peach color and have the era specific side button closure which is a 6 1/2" opening. The label reads Radelle Lingerie Fine Rayon. It's kind of hard to imagine that they are rayon, they feel and look more like a silk. The measurements are as follows: Waist 27" Hips 36" Leg openings 27 1/2" in circumference. Length-top to under crotch 18 1/2" . The pantie is formed from 3 pieces of fabric. Both back and front in the center have an ...
SOLD Late 30's early 1940's Skirt Suit--Pleated skirt-"The Union" NOS

SOLDSOLD Late 30's early 1940's Skirt Suit--Pleated skirt-"The Union" NOS

Clothing:By Period:1940's:Women's:2 Piece:Suit:Skirt:Jacket
This 2 piece skirt and jacket set are just elegant. The fabric has a slight sheen making it rustle when walking or taking off the jacket. It is rayon gabardine (?), could be wrong there but that's my best guess. The skirt is all accordion pleats and the sweep is huge, about 116". There is a 7" metal zipper plus a button hole at the waist. The jacket has lots of darling design features. Two small patch pockets on the front sides that curve down slightly boast self fabric buttons with faux button ...
