Vintage 1940's Nightgown - Bone White Rayon with Icy Blue Lace Insert & Velvet Bow

This vintage 1940s nightgown was made from a silky bone white 'cold' rayon material with a gorgeous icy blue cotton lace insert that frames the deep V cut neckline. Bias cut with a darling velvet bow that reaches well below the waist. A fitted waist panel flatters the figure, with a complementary blue lace insert that extends down the center skirt. This stunner falls just above the ankle with a ruffled cotton hem and split center that offers a gorgeous allure. A very unique gown that reminds me of a vintage Spanish countryside.

Condition: Hand washed and steamed. A few tiny pin sized holes and one frayed spot on the upper back. Some incredibly faint foxing on the lower right area of the skirt that is barely visible. One seam repair at the gore that isn't noticeable but there are a few tiny 'bubbles' where the fabric gathers a bit.
