Vintage 1940s Bridal Silk Nightgown / Trousseau Gown / Honeymoon Negligee-40B5

Wear the rare. Choose quality. Live with history.

Welcome to Lulu Boop Vintage — where carefully sourced vintage and antique garments are preserved, reimagined, and offered a second life. Each piece is unique, carrying the quiet beauty of its past and waiting to be worn again with intention.

A breathtaking vintage bridal nightgown dating to the late 1930s–1940s, crafted in luminous ivory silk with an exquisitely detailed cotton lace yoke.

Designed for a bride’s trousseau, this romantic gown features a deep V-point lace bodice front and back, wide lace-trimmed straps, a softly flowing bias-cut skirt, and an adjustable self-tie sash at the waist.

The fabric drapes beautifully against the body, creating an ethereal silhouette once reserved for honeymoons and special occasions.

An exceptional heirloom-quality piece, equally stunning as luxury sleepwear, a bridal getting-ready gown, or styled as a modern bohemian dress.Wear it in winter with cashmere cardigan + boots

Fit & Sizing Notes

Vintage and antique garments do not follow modern sizing standards. Many were handmade or custom-tailored for one individual. Size tags, when present, are for reference only — measurements are essential. I’m always happy to assist with fit questions.

Condition & Care

• All pieces are vintage or antique and may show gentle signs of age

• Pre-1930s fabrics (silk, muslin, lace) are delicate and should be worn with care

• Garments are best worn with ease, not tension

Edwardian & Victorian considerations:

• Corset-era pieces often have very small waists with broader shoulders or hips

• Sleeves are frequently designed as ¾ length

• Buttons may vary due to age and period repairs

Shipping

• Ships within 1 business day

• International buyers: phone number required for delivery

• Import taxes and duties are the buyer’s responsibility

• All shipments are insured; assistance with claims is always provided

Accessories shown are for styling only and are not included.
