Couldn't load pickup availability
Vintage 1930s nightgown made of sheer black silk chiffon. Completely hand-stitched, with the upper bodice crafted entirely in floral chantilly lace. Bias cut with ribbon straps, and chiffon lining the bust to offer a subtle bit of modesty. A low drop waist, with a long skirt providing an enormous sweep as it cascades toward the floor with a lace-edged hem. Stunning lace leaf inserts adorn the front of the skirt, with a relatively high kick slit at the lower center to allow ease of movement. Side zip closure to allow you to carefully slip in and out of it without stressing the delicate lace. A true gem!

A Note on Buying Vintage
A Note on Buying Vintage
This is an antique or early vintage garment made from delicate materials such as silk, fine cotton, lace, or early synthetics. These textiles may display signs consistent with age, which includes:
• natural fiber fatigue
• gentle thinning at stress points
• subtle irregularities inherent to early manufacturing
• age-related softness or patina
These qualities are authentic to historic garments and are considered part of their character, not defects, unless otherwise stated.
Notable flaws, such as excessive wear, stains, holes, or rips will always be photographed and disclosed in the condition notes.
