Vintage 1940's Nightgown - Pale Pink Rayon with Scandinavian Folk Floral Print | XXS, XS

This vintage 1940s nightgown was made from a silky pale pink rayon material, featuring a very unique Scandinavian folk print which consists of a 'bloemkweker' (Dutch flower grower) and a donkey led wagon with little flowers in and around it. This gorgeous gown is bias cut with a dramatic bodice framed in piping of the same material, with a decorative back that offers a stunning glimpse of skin. Slinky in fit with a gentle hug to the upper hip and a long ankle-length hem. A truly special piece that offers more than its elegance to talk about.

This is an antique or early vintage garment made from delicate materials such as silk, fine cotton, lace, or early synthetics. These textiles may display signs consistent with age, which includes:


• natural fiber fatigue

• gentle thinning at stress points

• subtle irregularities inherent to early manufacturing

• age-related softness or patina



These qualities are authentic to historic garments and are considered part of their character, not defects, unless otherwise stated.

Notable flaws, such as excessive wear, stains, holes, or rips will always be photographed and disclosed in the condition notes.
