This vintage 1940s nightgown was made form a rich blush pink rayon satin material. Bias cut with a sexy deep slit down the center chest hidden beneath a gorgeous ivory cotton tulle ruffled yoke that is beautifully adorned with gold and white threaded floral embroidery. This incredible gown hugs the figure nicely, cinching at the waist with attached ties. Complementary ruffled tulle edging around the ankle length hem pulls the eye from all directions. A truly special and adoringly elegant gown.
