Vintage Slips by Barbizon


This set of THREE vintage slips are all made by the famous Barbizon manufacturer.  According to The Vintage Fashion Guild:

 “Barbizon was established in 1933 as a maker of women’s rayon lingerie. They were unique in that they also made the fabrics from which their garments were sewn. They specialized in high-quality synthetic blends, which they gave romantic names such as Satin de Lys and Angel Blendaire. Barbizon was sold to the VF Corporation (Vanity Fair) in 1991.”  (http://vintagefashionguild.org/label-resource/barbizon/)

The “Trafedda” fabric of these slips was trademarked on 1954.

All slips are in very good vintage condition.  Measurements are taken flat and are approximate.
