Very beautiful 1920s white linen nightgown with ornate hand embroidery and elaborate bodice decoration.
I see a lot of these beautiful nightgowns and looking at the fabric I am almost entirely certain that this a great lightweight linen - has a great drape and feel to it - just slightly sheer.
Bodice - please see the detail photos! Lots of tiny hand embroidered flowers and pin tucks.
Nightgown is cut straight with no darts.
There is an inset waist belt that comes from the center front and ties in the back - this ribbon is not original as the original one was cut off, it has been replaced with a new cotton ribbon.
Three mother of pearl buttons up the front.
Pin tucks at the waist for shape.
No labels, made by a very talented seamstress. 100% linen. Please wash cool delicate and drip dry.
Very good vintage condition.
