This antique nightgown is a beautiful piece of fashion history with intricate details. Whilst originally worn as nightwear, these can also work beautifully as casual dresses - and look fab with cowboy boots! This is made of soft, very fine, lightweight cotton and is full-length with a straight cut. The white cotton-covered buttons fasten from the neck to the waist. There are tucks on the bust and shoulders to provide shape, as well as on the sleeves. The collar, button yoke, and cuffs are all wide, frilled, and exquisitely crafted.
Condition: There is a tiny hole and a small stain on the left shoulder, and the second button is warped but still buttons as intended.

Vintage clothing is often homemade and/or follows a very different size guide to modern-day clothing. Please ensure you check the measurements carefully on the product description before making your order. We use a rough sizing guide based on waist sizing:
XS | Waist 22"- 25"
S | Waist 26"- 27"
M | Waist 28"- 30"
L | Waist 31"- 32"
XL | Waist 33"- plus
Please do not take the size guide as gospel as the size stated here may not be the size you would normally buy. It is very important to know your bust, waist and hip sizing ahead of purchase.
