This vintage 1960s nightgown and peignoir set by Chevette is the epiphany of the mod aesthetic. Made from silky nylon with a sheer chiffon overlay in bold hues of lime green and yellow. The robe features an open front, closing at the neck with three fabric covered buttons. Extra fluffy elbow length sleeves and a slim dropped shoulder and ultra wide hem. The gown mimics the same trapeze style with a slim chest and tapered body, closing at the top of the shoulder with a single button. A removable wide satin bow adorns the shoulder, but could easily be moved or not worn at all. This set is electric; nobody did it quite like Chevette!
