Unique vintage baby doll Nightgown Sheer Chiffon Peignoir Babydoll Nightgown Set M Peach

Incredible vintage peach chiffon babydoll nightgown and matching peignoir robe, circa late 1950s by Glyndon's. This is yet another piece from an estate in Austin. The husband traveled frequently, adored his wife, and showered her with the most amazing lingerie from each trip. I have been working my way "backwards" on the estate, from the newer 80s items.. and now am reaching some of the older pieces. I believe this to be one of the earlier gifts for her, and the condition is amazing, it seems barely worn.

But.. its so unique! I have never seen anything like it, the contrast of the pinky peach with chocolate brown lace is just stunning.

The little baby doll nightgown is TWO layers of sheer chiffon, but the vintage chiffon is a wee bit heavier, so while it is sheer, it is not filmy.

Chocolate lace edges the wide vee neckline, with a ruffle across the yoke in front for accent. Back of the babydoll nightgown is also squared and edged with the lace.

But.. the matching peignoir robe is INCREDIBLE. yards and yards of single layer chiffon ~ so floaty and heavenly! The vee neckline is trimmed in chocolate lace to match the little nightgown, and the robe ties closed in front at the bottom of the vee with a rolled chiffon bow. Over four inches of the chocolate lace are ruffled across the bodice in front to each side seam under the arms.

With a slightly curved front, the edges are trimmed in lace, and just cascades in the most beautiful tier layers down the front. More lace trims the hemline as well as the cuffs on each sleeve.

Label ~ Looped cloth pink embroidery- Glyndons .. Made in Hollywood, USA. 100% nylon, M medium, it measures approximately:

Bust ~ 42 hips ~ 49 arm opening ~ 18 Back, shoulders, arm seam to seam ~ 15 length - shoulder to hem ~34 sweep of hem ~ 54 Sweep of peignoir hem - 180

Note: Vintage sizing is NOT standardized, please compare these measurements to something comfortable that you already own, Shown on a size 6 mannequin over 6 ft tall.

Condition ~ Extremely gently worn,if at all.. it truly appears new. The only "issue" I can find is the lace has curled a tiny bit in just a few areas.. will flatten out. Tons of body in both the fabric and the lace, just an amazing find!
