Lingerie
This refined nightgown follows the body conscious silhouette of the 1930s. The bias-cut fabric clings to the curves, enhancing the figure, as did day and evening wear. The attention to detail and quality of construction and print are of the highest quality, increasing the value of this garment. Perhaps what is most interesting is the cut of the jacket and the floral print, which evoke a Japanese feel.
