Vintage 1940's - 1950's Nightgown - Sheer Cream Nylon Chiffon with Pinstripe Detail & Ruffled Lace by Patolaine | S, S-M

This vintage 1940s to very early 1950s nightgown by Australia's Patolaine was made from an exceedingly rare early nylon material that feels crisp to the touch, aiming to mimic rayon chiffon. A very sheer cream color with 'shadow' pinstripe pattern throughout gives a very luxurious allure. This sweet little gown features gathered chiffon detail that frames the bust and down the center of the straps that gives a flirty allure. A sleek fitted waist and gathered hip flatters the curves, with rows of ruffled lace adds additional adornment. A wide A line skirt falls to the ankle with a ruffled hem. A very feminine and absolutely darling nightgown!
