Frederick's of Hollywood
Sz S Babydoll Low Cut 30/34 Bust Unworn Spaghetti Strap Sheer Black, Black/silver, Nylon/spandex, Made Macau by Frederick's of Hollywood$28.00
With its original paper hang tag still attached, this Frederick's of Hollywood vintage sheer black babydoll nightgown includes a sheer black thong. The set is a blast from the plain-brown-envelope-delivery past. The stretch bodice is low cut, with an empire waist and adjustable spaghetti straps. Down the front there are 2 inch wide accents of black and shiny silver sequins. The matching black thong is completely sheer. It remains attached along with the original paper price tag.
Labeled as a Medium, this will fit more like an Extra Small/Small in today's sizing. Please use these measurements to assure your best fit, with the knowledge sizing standards have changed so much over the years:
Straps ~~~ 16 to 20 inches
Bust ~~~ 30 to 34 inches
Empire band below bust ~~~ 28 to 34 inches
Waist ~~~ 30 to 34 inches
Full length, without straps ~~~ 25 inches
Hemline width ~~~46 to 53 inches
I am not even going to attempt to measure the matching thong. Let's just say it is a sheer piece of fabric with attached elastic for the top and sides.
Frederick's of Hollywood had a huge mail order catalog business for years before items like this could be ordered on the internet or easily purchased at your local shopping center. This super sheer sexy black vintage Frederick's of Hollywood babydoll nightgown is from that earlier era.
It has an attached fabric tag that reads "Frederick's of Hollywood RN 73120 Made in Macau, 90% Nylon, 10% Spandex, Exclusive of Decoration in any, Size Medium,". On the attached paper hang tag it shows the Dept., Class and Style numbers, along with a $29. 99 price written in red ink.
Laundry instructions show this is hand washable and should be line dried. With today's modern washing machines all having a delicate cycle I would personally feel comfortable putting this in a mesh laundry bag and gently washing it. I always recommend hanging vintage lingerie to dry because I feel that helps it stay looking its best for an even longer life.
Since this even looks good on my plastic mannequin, you can well imagine how figure flattering it will be on a real person.
It is still in Pristine Never Worn Vintage condition, with the original paper tag attached. The thong panty is still attached to one side with a plastic tag from the store.
In addition to being stretchy, the spaghetti straps are adjustable.
All the seams are intact and there are no stains, snags, odors or holes.
