under dress -ed

 fashion week continues here at Cottage Farm. watch out bryant park! i purchased this delectable dress at the alameda flea market a few weekends ago. the seller and i discussed the piece & both thought it was probably from the 70's, mostly because it has these (slightly hideous) white polly ties and buttons - but when i got it home and really looked it over i actually think its much older- like 30's or maybe even earlier and that. someone must have put these silly others on after the fact.
 So im on the hunt for some pretty shell buttons and vintage ribbon to remake the ties. im thinking a champagne color perhaps. But my big conundrum- what to undress it with. i have a vintage slip, exactly like this but cream & i though would work but it most certainly does not! 
so dear friends...im on the hunt for the perfect under dress and i have no idea what it is...any thoughts??
