Made in the 1940's, this pyjama top is made from lemon yellow satin. It has scalloped edging on the neckline and sleeve edges and wonderfully intricate embroidery on the front bodice.
Although it was originally made as nightwear, it is so pretty it would make a great summer blouse.

Condition
Good with the following points to note;
- three small repairs to the scalloped edging
- on the back of the blouse there is the impression of the embroidery from the front
- a few bits of the decorative stitching on the bottom are missing, but if you're wearing this as a blouse and tuck it in you won't see it
- shows minor wear
