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 - slightly sheer.
Bodice - please see the detail photos! Lots of tiny hand embroidered flowers and pin tucks creating a 'ray' shape - unusual and beautiful.
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 factory original one was cut off, it has been replaced with a new cotton ribbon.
Three mother of pearl buttons up the front.
No labels, made by a very talented seamstress. 100% linen. Please wash cool delicate and drip dry.
Very good vintage condition with no fabric or sewing flaws.
