Vintage 1940s to early 1950s nightgown by Barbizon made from a pale yellow rayon satin material. Bias cut with a gorgeous sweetheart neckline edged in sheer floral lace. Double satin straps looped through the lace adds a very nice touch, with darling satin appliqués framing the center bust for added decor. This lovely gown is slim fitting and drapes nicely to flatter the figure. A long ankle length skirt edged in lace pulls the gown together.

CONDITION
Excellent: Hand washed and steamed, looks to have been very rarely worn. No holes or rips, but there is one stitched fold at the bust and I am not sure if it was intended as a mend or just a manufacturing error. One very faint mark at the waist and one on the skirt, both are hardly visible.
