Description
Antique white cotton nightgown has crochet yoke bra area and short crochet sleeves, empire style, this is ankle length. This was found in one of my favorite small town antique/flea market booths that I frequent, and the owner loves going to country estate sales and auctions searching for beautiful treasures from the past. This sleep dress has survived beautifully and she told me it is hand-made, estimated from approximately early 1900s to 1920's. She always washes things before putting them in her booth, and this has been soaked, hand washed, bleached, hung outside to dry in the sun, and ironed. It's in excellent condition for its age, with no issues of note. It's a beautiful peace of history and fit my size 16 mannequin, who measures 42-33-44, so it is an unusual size for the early 1900's eera.
Condition: From what I was told when I purchased at an antique mall in a small town th,is is original, hand made, from approximately early 1900's to 1920's. The lady who owned the booth said she purchased from an farm auction or estate sale, probably passed down through the family over the years, and it is in extremely excellent condition. No noticeable flaws were found at all.
