40s black silk slip dress with diamond smocking

$98.00 USD

the look

a midcentury black silk slip produced by seamprufe during the brand’s postwar peak, originally intended as lingerie and now wearable as a minimalist dress. the diamond smocking at the neckline reflects 1950s underpinnings techniques used for gentle shaping before elastic became standard. an elegant example of how midcentury foundation garments continue to translate into modern wardrobes.
