Label Text:Many French couturiers made specialized lingerie to be worn beneath their clothing designs. This is Paquin’s version of the modern slip, a garment that developed from the “princess” style chemise of earlier decades. The new slips were made with slim skirts and diaphanous, neutral-colored fabrics, allowing them to be as inconspicuous as possible.
