1930s Butter Yellow Silk and Lace Lingerie Dress/ Nightgown 1960s Designed to be worn openA beautiful late 1930s silk nightgown from France in the softest buttery yellow tone, with an ethereal drape and delicate ivory lace detailing across the neckline, shoulders and back. The neckline is really the highlight here a romantic scalloped lace yoke with tiny covered buttons and gentle gathering beneath, creating that dreamy fluid silhouette so characteristic of post war lingerie pieces, and the best bit is that it can fit a variety of sizes.
