This vintage 1940s nightgown by Charna Lea was made from a silky, very stretchy baby pink rayon knit material with satin damask stripes that offers texture and flair. Bias cut with short fluttery sleeves, and a very deep cut neckline that is pinched closed with a little satin bow. This gorgeous gown fits loose and 'slouchy' at the bodice with a fitted hip and very long skirt pools at the feet that creates an absolutely stunning silhouette. An absolutely lovely and incredibly comfortable gown.

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.
