“Once we know what to look for, retouching becomes quite obvious. It is there in the smooth cheeks of Edwardian women, in the impossibly sloped shoulders of debutantes, in the famous waist of Polaire.”

Malissa Hardin, 1910.
The Genevieve camisole, inspired by vintage nightgowns and negligees, is the perfect remedy to a boring lingerie chest. Pair it with these darling tap pants, or venture into innerwear-as-outerwear by layering a cashmere cardigan or sheer blouse on top!
It’s made in luxurious 100% silk charmeuse with French lace appliques (hand applied to curve beautifully over the bustline), and it’s also bias-cut so that it hugs every curve without restricting movement. Venture into the luxury of Angela Friedman loungewear.
