Vintage 1930's - 1940's Sheer Black Rayon Chiffon Nightgown with Chantilly Lace - By Lady Leonora, Size M

This vintage late 1930s to early 1940s nightgown by Lady Leonora was made from a very sheer black rayon chiffon material that offers a liquid like drape along the figure. Bias cut with a low V cut neck and even lower back. The bodice is beautifully crafted out of floral chantilly lace that provides very little mystery to what's beneath it. A long and sleek skirt falls to the floor, with stunning lace gores at the hem and a center kick slit that allows for easy movement. This gown is a very rare style for the brand and is absolutely breathtaking.

Label: Lady Leonora

Material: Rayon chiffon, chantilly lace
Color: Black
Size: Small, medium - gown is very stretchy and can accommodate a variety of sizes (please see measurements)

Condition

Excellent: Hand washed and steamed. Lace is very stretchy without dryness, and chiffon is structurally sound without any holes or rips. Straps were folded and stitched to shorten by a previous wearer; I did not release them because it seems like a good length, but you absolutely can if you want them longer. There were some repairs to the lace that are not noticeable, but please forgive if I missed a few tiny breaks.
