1930s Sweet As-is Silk Cami XS

This as-is 1930s vintage weighted silk camisole was originally a silk slip. Priced as a bargain, this piece is ideal for a photo shoot with a Peaky Blinders, Depression-era, or 1920s theme, but it is not suitable for hard wearing. It was altered for a high school audition for the role of Roxy Hart in Chicago. It has adjustable straps and delicate lace insertions. The fabric is fragile and shows signs of shattering, especially on the left side. It has an uneven length and hemline and was overdyed to mute hard water stains.
