Lingerie: Anne Fogarty and Gracette

1950s Anne Forgarty Crinoline Circle Slip with Crystal Pleat trim, Small. I did a little Research on the Internet, and what I found regarding the Gracette Label by Anne Forgarty is Thanks to Vintage Dealer Fuzzie Lizzie, who is a seller on Etsy, but who also has a vintage blog. Please find reference material below. FEATURES: Material is as listed in FuzzieLizzie's article: It is a semi-rigid material, a thin nylon with a stiff feel, but no so stiff it would be uncomfortable to move in. It has gored panels and a sweet double-ruffle trim at the hem: Chocolate layered with black. Button fastener at waist and metal zipper. Thin Waistband (3/4ths of an inch). Button may or may not be original to slip.
