Vintage white embroidered cotton nightgown – Sizes 38 to 42 - Early 20th century
Vintage white embroidered cotton nightgown – Sizes 38 to 42 - Early 20th century
A magnificent antique white cotton nightgown, delicately finished with broderie anglaise around the neckline. A charming piece that serves as a gentle testament to women's sleepwear from the early 20th century.
Its V-neckline is highlighted by lovely openwork and embroidery, while the small buttoned openings at the shoulders add a detail that is as delicate as it is practical. Its long, fluid cut gives it that simple, romantic silhouette characteristic of antique linens.
A true piece of textile heritage, to be worn as a nightgown for lovers of antique linens or even repurposed as a summery white dress. 🤍

📏 Since vintage sizes are often very different from modern ones, I recommend relying primarily on the indicated measurements and comparing them with those of a similar garment you already own.

A word from Ginette
A little piece of history in all-white… 🤍 I especially love its embroidered neckline, its small shoulder buttons, and that simple, elegant charm unique to antique linens. More than a hundred years after its creation, it has lost none of its charm.
