Vintage 30s CREPE de CHINE NIGHTGOWN Chemise Handmade Hollywood Silk Lingerie
EXQUISITE Vintage HOLLYWOOD NIGHTGOWN Handmade of Blush Silk Crepe de Chine Bobbin Lace Embroidered Detail Estate Lingerie Trousseau. This romantic and luxurious nightgown dates from the early years (1920's-30's) of the Silver Screen.
My photos simply don't do it justice! It is entirely handmade of pure, blush-pink or peach silk crepe de chine, with beautiful and elegant details, including: fine bobbin lace trimming the neckline, armholes and inserted in the skirt; hand-embroidered French knots decorating the scalloped neckline; fine pleats on either side of the waist; long silk ties at the waist; rolled handkerchief hem; French seams, etc. The gown was part of a vintage collection assembled for Bloomingdale's in the early 1980s. It has a label at the back neckline that reads E. Russell Bush for GENE LONDON AND ASSOCIATES New York.Vintage Condition Excellent, Museum Quality. Bust: 40 (measured around underarms). Depth of underarm: 9 (measured straight down from shoulder opening).
Length: 44 (from top of shoulder to hem). Beginning in the late 1970's, Gene London, a former actor, operated a retro clothes shop New York City. Keep in mind that colors in online photos look different in different light and on different screens. I describe and photograph all the items I sell to the best of my ability--most of them are vintage and should be considered in "as is" condition.
Please be assured that, no. Matter how many items I sell, I strive for the highest degree of customer service and satisfaction. AND THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!
