Vintage white embroidered cotton nightgown – Sizes 38 to 42 - Early 20th century

A magnificent antique white cotton nightgown, delicately crafted with broderie anglaise around the neckline. A charming piece that sweetly reflects the feminine nightwear of the early 20th century.

Its V-neckline is highlighted by beautiful openwork and embroidered detailing, while the small buttoned openings at the shoulders add a detail that is both delicate and practical. Its long, flowing cut gives it that simple and romantic silhouette characteristic of antique linen.

A true piece of textile heritage, to be worn as a nightgown for lovers of antique linen or even repurposed as a summer white dress. 🤍

A word from Ginette

A little piece of history all in white… 🤍 I particularly love its embroidered neckline, its small buttons at the shoulders, and that elegant simplicity typical of antique linen. More than a hundred years after its creation, it has lost none of its charm.

💐 A piece carefully selected by Mademoiselle Ginette to keep the treasures of the past alive.
