Will always love Rita best in her classic pin-up pose.<br /><br />I'm not sure I've ever seen a pre-Code film without a young, shapely woman in a skimpy slip! The slips got longer and less transparent with the Code but were still fetching. Was thrilled to see Tyrone Power in his underwear in a late-'30s film a few weeks ago - it's nice to have some beefcake along with the cheesecake.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-90829577812661741162013-03-31T11:46:11.352-04:002013-03-31T11:46:11.352-04:00Lovely!

I saw in a pre-code film that women were in slips for nearly no reason in scenes-other than looking sexy of course. <br />I love the lingerie of the 1930s-sexy yet still enough left to be imagined. I think it's much sexier than anything today. <br />It's a shame slips aren't part of our every day wear! <br />By the way, what's the movie with Joan Crawford from?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-42693871664892057802013-03-30T12:40:20.221-04:002013-03-30T12:40:20.221-04:00A really jazzy slip can make a gal feel special. ...A really jazzy slip can make a gal feel special.

It's too bad they've fallen out of favor in recent decades. <br /><br />And you are so right about how a lot of 1940s slips often look like they could be worn out on the town. Sometimes I look at vintage clothes on eBay and I have seen so many 40s slips listed as both a nightgown and an evening gown. <br /><br />Thank you so much for participating in the Fashion in Film blogathon!
