1940s Beige Silk Nightgown | Plissé Bodice, Lace Trim & Floral Embroidery | Effortless Summer Elegance

A stunning 1940s silk nightgown in the most elegant shade of soft beige—this piece is pure vintage luxury. The bodice features delicate plissé pleating that flows into floral embroidery and lace trim, all crafted with exceptional attention to detail. Cut on the bias, it drapes beautifully over the body, creating that effortless, fluid silhouette only vintage silk can achieve.

Originally designed as luxury loungewear, this gown transcends its original purpose—in my opinion, it’s the perfect summer dress.

Styling ideas:
For day:
– Pair with flat leather sandals, a straw bag, and oversized sunglasses for a chic daytime stroll or brunch al fresco.
– Layer it with a light linen blazer or cropped cardigan for an elevated casual look.
– Add a wide-brimmed hat and dainty jewelry for that old-Hollywood-on-holiday vibe.

For evening:
– Style with strappy heels, red lipstick, and a vintage clutch for a dinner date or summer event.
– Add a silk kimono or sheer shawl for an elegant cover-up.
– Top with a structured blazer and bold earrings for a modern take on vintage glam.

A piece that moves effortlessly from boudoir to boulevard—this gown is for those who love vintage fashion that whispers sophistication and romance.

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
