Help Identifying Antique French Dress/Nightgown?

[Coran Beck]

Hooray! The forums are back up! Hello all you fantastic and amazing people - I think I'd go nuts without this site, as I am obsessively detail oriented and extremely concerned about ensuring I properly identify my Etsy listings. But I digress: I got this in France a few months ago, but am unable to date it other than presuming it is late 1800s, and perhaps some kind of house dress? As it has a built-in bodice, I wouldn't think it's a nightgown, but I don't see it being worn outside. I'd love input from those more knowledgeable than myself - THANK YOU!!!!

This piece would be a morning gown or wrapper/robe.

I love the use of several prints in the same white & soft blue colorway.

I’m inclined to say 1930’s but it’s a complete guess. There’s no zipper?

Hi GemGem - no zipper - hook and eye closure (on the bodice inside) - and snaps.

Seems 1900s 1910s to me.. wrapper. With the inner hook/eye waist closure. The front side closure is different though as most antique wrappers I’ve seen have all had center button fronts.

Me too - I'm a huge fan of contrasting prints!

I am thinking 1908- 1909 with that long slim line and Edwardian/Victorian construction.
