This vintage 1940s nightgown by Eastern Isle was made from a sheer black rayon chiffon material that leaves little to the imagination. Bias cut with a cotton lace shoulder that cinches closed at the neck with a drawstring tie, making it perfectly suitable to wear slightly off-shoulder, boat neck, or a tighter for a more rounded neckline. Bias cut with a sleek and slinky figure skimming fit. This stunner falls to the ankle with a ruffled cotton hem with a sheer baby blue chiffon lining that gives a Flamenco style allure du e to the added body. A truly mesmerizing gown.
