1930s Silk Embroidered Nightgown – Bias-Cut Peach Lingerie with Vintage Floral Appliqués
An extraordinary 1930s pure silk nightgown in a soft champagne-peach tone, exquisitely embroidered with delicate floral motifs that seem to float over the fabric. The gown is bias-cut for that signature 1930s drape — fluid, feminine, and body-skimming — and finished with wide straps that frame the shoulders beautifully.
The bust features intricate tone-on-tone embroidery and subtle ruching that flatters every curve. Two vintage floral appliqués were later added by hand to cover tiny imperfections, perfectly matching the gown’s texture and color — an elegant restoration that preserves its authenticity and charm.
This is a stunning example of pre-war luxury lingerie, designed in the spirit of Old Hollywood elegance. Soft, luminous silk, handmade details, and timeless romance make this a true heirloom piece.

PLEASE CHECK MEASUREMENTS BEFORE PURCHASE!
Vintage and antique clothing often differ from modern standardized sizes. Many were handmade for an individual, so sizing can vary. Instead of relying on a labeled size, compare the given measurements to a garment that fits you well. If you have any questions about fit, feel free to ask—I’m happy to help!
Condition - Care
• Vintage and antique items have been previously loved, so small imperfections may exist.
• Hand-dyed pieces: Due to the nature of hand-dyeing, colors may not be perfectly even. Please wash these items delicately, preferably alone or with similar colors.
• Antique fabrics (pre-1930s): Delicate materials such as 1920s silk or Edwardian muslin require extra care. These fabrics can be fragile and should be worn loosely to prevent stress or tearing.
Shipping - International Buyers
• Ships within 1 business day.
• International buyers: Please provide a phone number for delivery purposes.
• Import taxes/duties are the buyer’s responsibility.
