Beautiful pure silk nightdress from the late 1930s or early 1940s. Made from wonderfully soft silk in a gorgeous shade of peach, it is trimmed with lace. It fastens with two wide ties, see photo for details. The construction of the piece makes me think this was designed for a nursing mother, because when the ties are undone the nightdress is very roomy in the side.

Condition
Very good, just some minor points to note;

- a couple of small watermarks
The marks may wash out, but it’s still divine even with the minor issues.
