Size 4 1940s Rayon Nightgown - White Bias Cut Rayon Hollywood Style 40s Gown with Embroidered Ruffle - Willowy Svelte Graceful - Bust 32.5

This 40s rayon nightgown is such a pretty design! It's a graceful 1940s nightie with a Hollywood feel in innocent details, scoop-necked with lace and bow accents. Has a gathered along the arch waist seam with a svelte bias-cut sexiness. There's a V-neck to the back. It looks very 1930s era, except for the nylon which dates it to post-World War II.
