This vintage 1930s nightgown and bed jacket set is so exquisite - lovely to look at and heaven to touch and wear! The nightgown has a gathered bust encircled by filet lace with a simple floral motif - double rows of the lace are also used for shoulder straps with tiny diamonds of fabric in between - see close-up. The little bedjacket has puffed sleeves, pleating at the shoulder, and tiny patch pockets, again with lots of lace trim.
SIZE: Nightgown is labeled 34, jacket 36
