Vintage 1940s nightgown by Bennington made from a very sheer black rayon chiffon material. Bias cut with lovely cotton lace inserts that adorn the bodice and center front 'kick slit' of the hem. This gown has a low cut neck and back, with a single elastic thread at the lower back that cinches the waist. A very sexy and elegant gown.

CONDITION
Very good: Hand washed and steamed without any significant holes, rips, or tears. Elastic is a bit more stretched at one side near the waist; could be removed if it causes any bother. There was another row of elastic that was removed because of loose threads and a side seam repair; not noticeable but mentioned for transparency.

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.
