Label - Melnick Morgan Modes New York
Fabric - silk with cotton lace
Cleaning - lightly hand washed, hung to dry

Black straight neck silk slip with pleat down the length of one side. Kind of a mystery, it has a label partially stitched inside, but the ivory cotton lace around the top was added by hand at some point and the lace looks like is was cut from something chiffon because there are some remants of chiffon weave along the edges. The straps that were on it were shreaded, so I added new pink silk ribbon straps.

Condition - Very good condition, strong and wearable. Has a few pin dot holes when you hold it to the light. Some fine wear lines in the silk around the top just below the lace.
