This vintage 1930s to early 1940s nightgown by Gordon Forest Mills, a well known maker of cold weather wear from the Edwardian era through the 1940s. Made from a very warm and incredibly soft brushed rayon material that is plush on the outside and silky on the underside. Bias cut with long bishop style sleeves that puff at the shoulders and cinch at the cuffs. A Peter Pan collar and keyhole neckline that closes with a sweet little bow offers a bit of elegance. This beautiful gown hugs the figure nicely with attached ties to cinch the waist to your liking. A long A line skirt smooths the hips, falling to the ankle. Simply gorgeous and perfect for every-day wear.
