Step back in time with this stunning 1918 light peach jacquard nightgown, featuring a delicate dotted and floral spray motif. Expertly handcrafted from a single continuous piece of fabric with only side seams, it exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of the early twentieth century.
The sleeveless silhouette features a graceful V-neckline and side leg slits at the hem for ease of movement. Intricate Hardanger Norwegian embroidery adorns the neckline and the ends of the coordinating sash, adding a touch of delicate artistry. A charming patch pocket at the left hip completes this thoughtfully designed piece.
