Description
Peachy-pink rayon with a white floral appliqué creates a vision of femininity with this 1940’s vintage nightgown. I think that the flowers are poppies—appropriate for sleeping! The deeply v’ed neckline has sweet scalloped edges trimming the gathered bust. The bias-cut skirt of the nightgown is A-line below the wide waist panel, pointed at top and bottom. The nightgown is in very good condition, probably unworn, with one pinhole-sized purple mark (possibly ink?) on the front near the hem.
