I actually do have one excuse, my friend Andrea was in town from MI. Also I'm job searching, which is a motivation sucker.
Enough of that. Do you remember my day of glory at Goodwill As-Is? This Vintage 1960's French Maid Lingerie Company Slip is one of my finds.

I didn't know much about the slip when I dug it up. Here's what I did know:
1. It was Old-ish, potentially vintage (based on the tag)
2. It was in amazing condition
3. There was no way in hell it would fit me

Normally, I don't buy clothing that doesn't fit, but for $1...! The design is so intricate, feminine, pretty, soft, etc. Something this special just cannot be passed up! I wish I could wear it, but that would require self starvation and a breast reduction. Instead I will probably bring it to one of my local vintage shops.

Googling French Maid Lingerie Company is a little frustrating. Try it. You will find a lot of French Maid Lingerie Costumes that are, um...not modest.

Most of the relevant items I could find were on Ebay, Etsy or Classy Option. I don't know much about Classy Option. I found them while researching. They actually have a category just for the French Maid Lingerie brand.
For the record, if the slip did fit I would NOT have modeled it for this blog. Ha!
I hope you're having a great week so far!
Isn't it funny that those of us who could fit into (pancake chest over here) wouldn't even look good in it without serious cosmetic enhancement? It's beautiful though!
