This vintage 1940s nightgown by Chevette was made from a rich, inky black rayon material in a luxurious medium weight. Bias cut with a gathered bust that is beautifully framed in cotton tulle with ribbon bow appliqués. Fluttery caplet sleeves cover the very tips of the shoulders, with a very low back complemented with a little center slit. This gorgeous gown falls to the ankles with attached ties to cinch the waist to your liking. A truly special boudoir piece.

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.
