1940s Hand-Dyed Satin Nightgown – Vintage Summer Dream

This incredible 1940s satin nightgown has been brought back to life with a custom hand-dyed finish, highlighting its stunning square lace-embellished chest design and playful ruffled sleeves. The flowy silhouette makes it the perfect unique summer dress, blending vintage charm with a modern edge.

The original belt may be long gone, but I’m including a neon satin ribbon that adds a fun pop of color—I love how it contrasts with the gown’s soft, vintage vibes. To preserve this beauty, I covered three small pinholes and light stains on the front with delicate vintage lace appliqués (all pictured), blending seamlessly into the gown’s design.

Hand-dyeing gives the satin a rich, multidimensional tone with natural variations, making this piece truly one of a kind.

Condition: Good vintage condition with careful restoration and unique hand-dyed color.
Size: S.
Fabric: Likely satin or a satin blend, lightweight and smooth.

Wear it as a nightgown, a statement dress, or your go-to piece for vintage-inspired summer adventures.

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.

Things to Consider for Edwardian & Victorian Clothing:
• A marked XS piece may have medium-sized shoulders and hips but a tiny waist (corset-era sizing).
• Sleeves are often ¾ length, not full-length.
• Buttons may be mismatched due to age and previous repairs.

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.
• Lulu Boop Vintage is not responsible for delays or lost packages, but all shipments are insured, and I will assist in managing claims.
