1930s Salmon Pink Silk Bias Cut Maxi Nightgown with Pussy Bow & Embroidery

An exceptionally beautiful original 1930s silk nightgown in the loveliest shade of soft salmon pink, featuring romantic puff sleeves, delicate floral embroidery and a wonderful pussy-bow neckline.

Made from beautifully soft, lightweight silk with a fluid drape, this full-length gown is cut on the bias, allowing the fabric to fall naturally over the body and create an elegant, gently flowing silhouette.

The neckline is particularly special, with a narrow keyhole opening finished with long silk ties that can be fastened into a generous bow or left loosely knotted. Delicate tonal floral embroidery decorates the front of the bodice, with beautifully subtle flowers, trailing stems and tiny embroidered details that catch the light.

The short, generously gathered puff sleeves add a wonderful sense of volume and contrast beautifully with the softly fitted waist and long, fluid skirt. Gentle gathering beneath the bust creates a flattering shape, while the bias-cut skirt falls gracefully towards the floor.

Originally intended as a nightgown, this is far too beautiful to be confined to the bedroom. Equally lovely worn as an elegant evening dress, styled with vintage heels, or contrasted with contemporary accessories for a more unexpected look.

A truly romantic and remarkably wearable piece of 1930s silk clothing.
