The Mazi Long Scoop Slip

The Mazi Long Scoop Slip

The Mazi long Scoop Slip dress is an essential slip dress that is designed to be worn underneath all Mazi sheer, mesh and/or lace dresses, notwithstanding the Mazi slip dress has such a classic silhouette it can easily be uniquely worn on her own as definitive stand-alone dress and should you wish, she could be accompanied by your favorite Mazi vintage inspired cardigan, printed shrug and heels…of course!

Exclusively and individual handmade, adjustable bra straps, which are made at Mazi in Fitzroy, Melbourne, accompanied by soft stretch knicker elastic which flatters the neckline and give this solid color or floral printed slip dress a vintage, lingerie inspired look, a look we say is inspired by the Hollywood vixens of the 40’s and 50’s, of the so called “Golden Age” of Hollywood. The Mazi slip dress is characteristically finished with sultry beautiful black lace trim on the hemline.

Made of a high-grade Korean poly spandex knit fabric and finishing at knee length, the Mazi slip dress can matchlessly transform all your sheer/lace dress into a uniquely feminine and timeless “different” looks every time.

The Mazi slip is a beautiful Mazi basic and yet “a layering essential garment.”

Mazi and ITY Fabric

ITY is my most favourite go to fabric for printed and solid color for Mazi leggings, Mazi slip dresses, Mazi wrap dresses, Mazi dresses in general, not to forget our fun and flirty Mazi skirts, and tops.

We at Mazi love the high quality Korean ITY, because it has such great stretch and is hardwearing, with 30 years of working intimately with ITY, we find that this quality ITY washes very well, is esthetically and physically sensual, delicate with a flattering, feminine drape.

Mazi designer Effie Evriniadis believes that this quality ITY is the best choice for her Mazi layering look.

Highlights of working with and wearing ITY fabrics are: Long and short A-line dresses, Lacey leggings, flattering skirts, printed and solid color skirts and fitted tops, uniquely keep their shape, prints, color and importantly do not pill.

Mazi clothes are well known for travelling well, easy to wash and easy to iron.

Mazi dresses, colourful slip dresses and tops are sensual to the touch and drape in a very flattering, feminine manner.
