Vintage 1940's Sheer Black Rayon Chiffon Nightgown & Peignoir Set with Cotton Lace - Size S, M

This vintage 1940s nightgown and peignoir set was made from a very silky smooth sheer black rayon chiffon material. Both pieces are bias cut which provides a decadent drape that flatters the figure beautifully, with little rayon flower appliques that adorn the bodice(s) for a bit of decor. The robe features gathered shoulders and long wide bishop style sleeves that close at the lace edged cuffs with little hidden snaps. Very sleek, with a lace edged opening that closes at the waist with attached ties. The robe's hem is slightly longer at the sides which offers a nice bit of drama. The gown features very intentional stitching to create an allure that pulls the eye at all directions. A wide lace neckline that extends through the waist, wrapping around the sides to directly above the derriere. A wide lace hem with center kick slit that not allows for easy movement but also creates a strikingly gorgeous aesthetic for the wearer. A very elegant and mood setting boudoir set.
