A long-sleeved white silk nightgown, with lace insertion and ribbon detailing in the yoke. There is lace trim along the hem, the sleeve cuffs, and the neckline, as well as bands of lace inset in the bottom portion of the sleeves, as well as along the yoke. There are decorative vertical pleats on the back of the nightgown. Decorative pink ribbons are woven through both sleeves, as well as the chest. The nightgown opens partway down the front, and closes with five white, iridescent buttons. There is a diamond-shaped piece of decorative embroidery on the left side of the yoke, that might be a monogram, but it is difficult to make out if there is any lettering.Collection
