Trying to sort and list some of the white I have laying about. Having problems with dating. But now I can put it in my new cedar closet which my brother put together for me. Now I can fit even more stuff in there than I had before if this is possible

This is a nightgown made of a supersoft cotton with a nice sheen to it.

This is a men's night shirt with nice eyelet trim at collar and cuffs.

Mostly bumping for the experts....I always associate those filet crochet yokes on #1 nightie with the 20s; the man's nightshirt looks straight off Upstairs/Downstairs....were they worn until the Great War? And the last is a corset cover...1910-ish?

OK...my wild guessing is over...knowledgeable Victorian sellers?
 
I should really make my husband wear the nightshirt but I would have to pay him a million dollars to do so.

does that cami looked like it was a full-length nightgown before? not that it matters, but just wonderin. can see that going as a very cute summer separate

i'm no good at these dates; i'm sure the pros will be in soon :cheer:
 
The nightgown with its kimono sleeves and camisole both look '20's. The "men's nightshirt" is likely women's and could be earlier but may be later and is probably a plain ladies gown. Could you post a more detailed shot of the collar? I've seen patterns for women's nightgowns like this with left over right closures. Your "nightshirt" has a right over left closure.
