1930s Nightgown - Hand Stitched Ivory Silk with Intricate Irish Crochet Lace

This early 1930s nightgown was made from a decadent semi-sheer ivory silk material. Hand stitched with decorative stitching and artfully crafted inserts that create the most magnificent silhouette, this gown is truly something special. Wide fluttery petal-like sleeves grace the shoulder, with exquisite hand crafted Irish crochet lace inserts and satin grape vine embroidery across the bodice that could be studied for hours. This gown is loose fitting through the waist and hip, falling to the ankle or inches above for taller frames. A true one of a kind collectible gown.

Bust: 32-34”
