The tailored lace hem is finished with pinked interior seams to prevent fraying, a hallmark of quality mid-century lingerie. Three inset lace panels form trim lines that could be shortened if desired, a thoughtful construction detail often found in higher-end slips of the era. Each sewn side seam edge was carefully cut by hand using pinking shears, even in factory production, ensuring durability and precision.

An elasticized waistband offers a comfortable, flexible fit. Beautifully made, this classic 1950s petticoat slip captures the elegance, craftsmanship, and timeless charm of true vintage lingerie. Perfect for wear, display, or collection.
