1930s Lace Trimmed Pink Silk Tap Pants

This pair of lingerie tap pants dates back to the late 1930s. The name 'tap pants' originates from shorts worn by tap dancers during this era, which had a fluid cut to allow ease of movement when practising routines. This style of lingerie bottom has become essential boudoir apparel and look great layered with modern knits and T-shirts. Tailored from pale pink-peach silk, this pair is trimmed with delicate champagne-hued lace detailed with intricate florals. The cobalt blue lettering on the original label reads 'The Lingerie Shop Birmingham'. A high-waist cut and stretchy elasticated waistband make these very wearable and they are in truly excellent vintage condition with no issues and virtually no signs of use. Will fit a very wide range of sizes due to the loose cut nature from UK 6 to UK 14 or US 2 - 10.
