$ 107.50

Charming Victorian nightgown in a picturesque design, with scalloped arches along the yoke, hand-gathered ruching, and cloth covered buttons. This antique nightgown dates to the late 1890s or early 1900s, both feminine and utilitarian, with crochet lace alongside flat-felled seams for durability. It has exquisitely hand-sewn details... every seam, every inch is sewn by hand... it appears even the top-stitching.
