Sweet & Sexy Pink Slips

Clement Micarelli’s book cover art for Sexbound, 1961 (via La Contessa) reminds me of my adoration of slips — especially pink slips.

Seems like fashion continues to stroll away from delicate feminine colors, opting instead for menswear-styles and rich, bold colors. Heck, even the so-called feminine floral prints do far more screaming for attention than speaking softly, drawing folks nearer…

But I guess the good news is that since most dresses today don’t require slips, you can slide a pretty slip on under nearly any dress — and pink is delicate enough to hide, patiently, until you find an intimate moment to share its tender shade — and perhaps your shapely form too.

To help you shop for your own pink slip (and you know I love to help!), here are a few fabulous vintage finds you’ll find yourself delighted to slip into and slink about in!

This vintage peachy-pink slip of silk charmeuse has diagonal bodice seams on both the front and back — and lovely, lovely lace!

This vintage slip’s maker name says it all: Lady Love!

Here’s a plus-sized vintage pale pink rayon crepe bias slip from the 1940’s — with loads of pretty sheer lace!

Vintage sheer light pink nylon full slip with a breathtaking wide hem of lace and crystal pleating.

And this vintage nylon full slip by Kickernick Lingerie with the sweetest pink scalloped chiffon eyelet trim accented with a blue satin ribbon!
