This vintage early 1960s nightgown by Lucite was made from a silky opaque pale blue and ivory ombre nylon material. The bodice was made from a sheer two-tone chiffon with a gorgeous overlap feature that flatters the chest nicely. Sweet little bows wide wide straps create a very feminine allure. Nipped at the waist with a long chiffon tie that pulls the gown together perfectly. An ankle length skirt hemmed in a sheer deep blue chiffon that complements the bust. A darling little gown.
