I found this in a suitcase with a bunch of old lace and doilies. It was from the home of old friends who had passed. Without family, we were left to empty it out. I had taken the suitcase then, about twenty years ago and just now got to opening it....nothing else to say about that. The two women were accomplished in their time. One an aviator who ferried airplanes from the manufacturer to their home airfield for the war effort. The other worked for CBS in the twenties. I do not know what this garment is. Underwear? Night wear? I am asking for your help. Thanks very much.
Corset cover, or camisole :-)
Thanks for the comment. I got a great education for your direction to google the image. Very complicated dressing and impossible to do without help, I think.
Glad to have help :-)
Think too this kind of attire was for wealthy women, who could afford maid ;-)
This was wore as top of a half slip . Many of my antique dolls are wearing one also :-)
