Ivory Bridal Trousseau Lacquered Satin Skirt Leg Step-In Romper Teddy –XS, 1920s
About the Item
Though it looks and wears like a negligée, this wisp of a garment was an intermediate step between the chemise-style undergarments of the Victorian era and the separate bra and panties we wear today. Called “step-ins”, they made ideal sleepwear and were essential underpinnings for the lean, drop-waisted silhouettes of the 1920s. Especially feminine with its bias flounce legs, this one would make exceptional bridal lingerie.
*From the personal collection of department store heiress Estela Jácome.*
