“Chiromancie” is palmistry in French….why does EVERYTHING sound so much prettier in French?
This vintage slip needed some repair, so i fixed all it’s little time-worn wounds. i dyed it twice with tea, once with Chai, once with Earl Grey, to give it a really mottled and antique coloring.
I stitched on many many layers of various lace trims at the hem. The embellishments are a hand-embroidered palmistry chart worked onto 1940’s era doily, rosettes of gathered lace, vintage rhinestone buttons, and a satin rose and vine applique to which i added a few tiny rhinestones recycled from a vintage dress.
At the hip, i stitched on another very old doily and some lace with little pearls, also recovered from a vintage dress. Pretty lace trim under the bust and YET ANOTHER old doily and lace rosette at the bodice.
I do so love a doily……

I love this slip so much. I’m one of the few larger woman with tiny breasts…go figure (no pun intended) and would love the chest your model is sporting. I have some gorgeous larger vintage full slips, but there’s no hope filling out the breasts. Sigh. Lament. Moan.
