Vintage 1940's Nightgown & Peignoir Set - Sheer Black Rayon Chiffon with Shadow Plain Print | Medium

This vintage 1940s nightgown & peignoir set was made from a sheer black rayon chiffon with a stunning plaid shadow print throughout. Both pieces featuring a flattering bias cut and ruffled chiffon that frames the necklines. The robe offers a lovely blousy bodice and long bishop style sleeves that close with fabric colored buttons, beautifully finished with complementary ruffled chiffon at the cuffs. Cinched at the waist with triple satin buttons for closure. The gown is slinky in fit with a very deep V cut neck and back. Very sexy, allowing skin to show from behind the pattern. Ankle length with a fluttery hem that sways upon movement. A truly beautiful set.
