What makes this Ice Maiden melt: Suit Slips

[NylonNostalgia]

I am supposed to be ruthlessly hard-hearted with my stock, but I go all wishy-washy and hopelessly gooey when confronted with dual-tone suit slips of the late 1950s and more often than not bag them for my personal collection instead. Here's a very short tour of just three or four of 20+ in my collection...

Oh, they are gorgeous!

Yes, Suzanne @anothertimevintageapparel - what you were talking about, and I think one of them looks very similar to yours!

Yes! They do look similar.
I too have quite a few. Thanks for the extra photos, Emma
